6 Horror Games And The Studios That Should Make Them!

Sometimes a fresh set of eyes can bring new and interesting perspectives. When you look at the same thing for so long, it can get difficult to see its flaws, and while this can be said for many things, it’s especially true for video games. Getting a fresh perspective can be a great way to make sure a series stays engaging, to keep it from becoming stale and predictable. Franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have each had games developed by studios other than the one that created them, and while the results have been a mixed bag, some of these partnerships have led to incredible games.

With this in mind, I’ve compiled a list of six game developers that I think are universally great and matched them with a horror franchise I feel they could make an incredible game for. Check out my picks after the break, and feel free to comment with your own dream matches!

Ten Worthy Game Of The Year Contenders You Won’t See In Our FEAR Awards

Because so many websites and publications have Game of the Year awards that cover many games across many different genres, we created the FEAR Awards, which since its inception back in 2009 has recognized the best and worst horror (and horror adjacent) games of the year. Unfortunately, this means we miss many excellent games. To remedy this, I’m going to recognized this year’s best non-horror games right now. Check them out after the jump!

Dishonored

‘Dishonored’ Sold Better Than Bethesda Expected, Could Become A Series

It looks like player reception of the recently released Dishonored has matched its critical reception. In my review I likened it to BioShock for its atmosphere, dystopian Steampunk setting, and even the combat, which feels similar to the uniquely satisfying plasmid/weapon combination. It looks like the two games could soon share something else in common — Dishonored could soon get a sequel that I’m not entirely sure it needs. Bethesda hasn’t disclosed exactly how many copies have sold so far, but it’s performed well enough to warrant the consideration of a sequel. Of course, BioShock 2 was a solid enough game, even if it didn’t quite have that feeling of newness its predecessor did. Either way, I’m sure a Dishonored 2 would be a great game. What do you think?

‘Dishonored’ Review: Welcome To Steampunk City 17

Every so often a game comes along that is truly unforgettable. We’re adrift in a sea of sequels, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a new experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good sequel, and I’m very much looking forward to games like Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed III, and Far Cry 3 later this year, but one thing those games can’t provide is the feeling that comes with immersing yourself in a world you’ve never seen before. This makes Dishonored a breath of fresh air. because it’s more than unique — it’s also beautiful, twisted, and insanely fun.
