I'm a big fan of horror and spooky games and movies so this is right up my alley. I tend to start Halloween times pretty early (been playing horrors since late August) and to be honest I play them all year round anyway! This month I did a couple of survival horror "marathons".

Started with a "Parasite Eve" trilogy (though it's hard to call "The Third Birthday" a horror let alone a "Parasite Eve" game but I did it anyway) in late August. This was actually my first playthrough of the series as it was never released in PAL format (the original at least). The first game is insanely good. Great story, characters, lovely self contained setting with nothing too berserk or bombastic, amazing music. The 2nd one wasn't bad either, though it took a little bit more to actually figure out what was going on and how it related to the first game. The less said about the 3rd one the better, though some of the ideas presented in it could have worked if they were implemented better. It's an absolute shame the series got dropped and doesn't even get recognised by Square anymore.

Following that I played through "Dino Crisis" 1 & 2. Classics I play pretty much replay on a yearly basis and have done since the early 2000's. Still love those games with all my heart and again, like with "Parasite Eve", it's criminal that the series has been dropped. Regina needs to return and stat! Or should I say 'TRAT'? Or 'SORT'?

So for my continued horror experience I was thinking of jumping up a few console generations and replaying through "The Evil Within" 1 & 2 next.
