‘Siren’, ‘Gone Home’ Free This Month On PS Plus
Sony has revealed the next batch of free games that will be made available to PS Plus subscribers in June, and among them are all twelve episodes of the chilling PS3 survival horror game Siren: Blood Curse. Siren never found the audience it deserved during its short run that began on the PS2 back in 2004. How such a smart and unnervingly atmospheric series managed to fly almost completely under the radar twice is beyond me.
At least it Blood Curse didn’t die alone. 2004 was lousy with underappreciated horror games. Siren released about a month after Resident Evil Outbreak and The Suffering, then there was Silent Hill 4 in September. So the next time you or someone you see curses the rise of action horror — which began the following year with Resident Evil 4 — remember, all that was our fault.
Anyway, here’s the full line-up for June, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog:
NBA 2K16, PS4
Gone Home: Console Edition, PS4
Echochrome, PS3
Siren: Blood Curse (Episodes 1-12), PS3
God of War: Chains of Olympus, PS Vita
Little Deviants, PS Vita
And since we’re talking about Siren, if you missed this video tour of Shiraiwa, you should fix that immediately. Shiraiwa is a ghost town nestled in the mountains north of Tokyo, Japan that served as the inspiration for Siren’s Shibito-infested village of Hanuda.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
