Halloween Gaming

[Wolf Kanno]

Since it's October and I love Halloween, I decided to use this as an ecuse to play two games on my backlogs that I really need to get around to. So to make the month creepier, I've decided to play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame for the first time. Anyone else thinking about playing some survival horror or gothic horror style games this month?

I hadn't thought of it but I might give it a shot. Good excuse I suppose!

My fiancée and I did this last year with our first playthrough of Silent Hill and it was awesome Here in Poland we celebrate All Saints' Day on the 1st of November - it's a day off from work and school and everybody goes to the cemetary (and it is a sight to behold, since everybody leaves lanterns on the graves) - so after starting to play the game on Halloween, we went to a cemetary the next day and it was really awesome - the atmosphere is hard to describe in words So yeah, this year we plan to do the same only with Silent Hill 2

I've got Resident Evil 4 for the Wii gathering dust in my drawer. I always think about going back to it as I enjoyed the mechanics of it.

It just scares the living tit out of me.

I came here to specifically suggest Silent Hill 2. Great job, WK. Silent Hill 3 may also be worth mentioning. And I've always wanted to play Fatal Frame!

It doesn't get much more Halloween-y than MediEvil, imo.

I better finish playing Amnesia, then... D:

Also, Silent Hill 3 does sound like a good idea to play (even though I've heard mixed reviews about it) since Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is coming out soon. It's based on SH3.

Oh, and Fatal Frame 2 is one of my favorite survival horror games. That and Resident Evil 2. Everyone should play those. :3

It certainly isn't the best of the series, but it's far from the worst. It's worth playing if you like the franchise.

As always: lights off, volume up!

I don't care if the internet says this too much, but Amnesia is a great one to play around this time of year. Also, Penumbra, which was made by the same developer. That game is a little rough around the edges, more so than Amnesia, but it works.

[Lonely Paper Star]

As always: lights off, volume up!

And headphones on, if you have them. Especially for Amnesia. ;.;

DEAD SPACE

I don't think I've ever intentionally played a game to go along with the season I'm in or a holiday that's close by.

Coincidentally, though, I did start playing Silent Hill 4: The Room yesterday. It's quite fitting for this time of year.

Are you talking about SH3? Because SH3 is best SH.

[Shorty]

Debatable.

(two is better)

[Slothy]

SH2 has a better story. SH3 is the scarier game by far though.

[Shorty]

This I will concede.
