Can You Name Every Horror Game In These Minimalist Posters?

I want to play a game. (read that in Jigsaw’s voice)

I have a bunch of minimalist horror game posters waiting for you after the break. What I’d like you to do is try and name every game in these posters just by looking at the gallery. Don’t click on any of the images, because doing that will expand them, revealing the full poster and the title of the game. This game is crazy easy to cheat on, but I trust you. So name as many games as you can in the comments below — Bloody Disgusting has spies everywhere, so I’ll know when you cheat — and HAVE FUN!

Watch This Guy Transform A ‘Doom’ Screenshot Into A Work Of Art

Youtuber TJ Townsend has done what many would call the impossible. He took a screenshot from the original Doom game, with a resolution of 320×240, and used what I can only refer to as magic and wizardry to turn it into a 9600×7211 work of art. Sure, you can catch a glimpse of it above, but to really understand how much work was done to get to that, I highly recommend watching the very sped up process — the whole thing took him eight days to complete — after the jump.

Cacodemon

This Fan-Made LEGO Cacodemon From ‘Doom’ Probably Won’t Try To Devour Your Soul

With its creepy, persistent grin and annoying ranged attacks, the Cacodemon has been the bane of many a Doom player. Their ugly faces have appeared in every game in the series and they’ve even sort of become of mascot for the franchise. Flickr user, LEGO connoisseur, and (I’m guessing) Doom fan Bart De Dobbelaer built the thing using LEGO bricks, and, well… it has a face only a mother could love. Check it out after the break.

[13 Days Of Horror] Day 2: The 12 Best Weapons In Horror Games, Part 2

If you enjoyed yesterday’s batch of memorable horror game weapons then you’re going to love this. Horror games may not be known for their excess of badass weapons, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been a few games that have brought us some excellent tools with which to beat down the undead hordes, alien intruders, demons, demon worshippers, and other abominations that are unfortunate enough to get in our way when we’re in the mood to kick some ugly monster ass. Here’s the second half of our list of the best weapons of the horror genre.

10 Horror Games And The Bands That Should’ve Scored Them

Sometimes I get really bored. I’m only human, and like the rest of you, there are times when I need a little entertainment. During one of my recent fits of boredom where I was lying naked on the floor of my room in a sticky puddle of dried up Mountain Dew while staring up at the ceiling wondering what wordsmith came up with the word ‘orange,’ I decided to come up with a little game — something to fill my time so I didn’t have to finally concede to what the voices in my head were telling me to do. For the unaware, at Bloody Disgusting lies a mythical creature known as a Jonathan Barkan. He runs the music section on BD with a tyrannical fist and a sweet moustache. If I were reviewing Jon, his Baby Factor would go something like ”If Albert Wesker and a Big Daddy got together to make sweet, sweet love inside a record store, Jonny B would be their musically inclined offspring.”

All that is a long-winded way of saying he knows his music, and he also happens to share my love of video games. So let’s get back to the game I was teasing earlier. I gave Jon ten video game franchises and asked him who he thought would be best suited to score the soundtracks for that series. For example, if Akira Yamaoka had never joined Konami to craft the incredible scores the Silent Hill series is known for, who could’ve taken his place? Find out whom he chose for Silent Hill, as well as nine others, after the jump. READ MORE

Gaming’s 13 Coolest Interpretations Of Hell

I’m not sure if it’s because of our own morbid curiosity with death or because a world of fire and brimstone sounds supremely badass, but over the years hell has become an incredibly popular destination for video games. Thankfully, this destination is only getting hotter (sorry) over the coming months. Doom 4 is almost definitely going to be revealed at QuakeCon in August, or possibly at E3 in June and Diablo III is finally coming to take me away from my friends and job in just a few short weeks. As a gamer, I’ve been to hell more times than Kratos sand Dante combined and I’ve managed to escape those festering pits mostly unscathed. From the nine circles in Dante’s Inferno to Silent Hill’s Otherworld, here are my ten favorite trips to hell so far.

Universal Reloads BFG for ‘Doom’ Reboot

Video game adaptations are still hot as ever, so why wouldn’t a studio revisit their archives for a potential reboot?

Our friends at What’s Playing are reporting that Universal Pictures is out to writers to pen Doom, a 3-D redo of the 2005 adaptation that starred Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a Space Marine sent to investigate strange events at a research facility on a distant planet but find themselves at the mercy of genetically enhanced killing machines.

The site adds that Universal has always been keen on doing another Doom movie sometime, and that the success of Paramount’s G.I Joe : Rise of Cobra piqued their interest even more.

Think they can get it right this time?

The 10 Most Unappreciated Video Game Monsters

Screw villains, they get all the glory.  What about the grunts?  You know, the hundreds of generic bad guys you have to shoot/frag/slice/photograph/dialog with between boss battles?  Being a grunt has to be the toughest job in a videogame, yet their faces so rarely lead a marketing campaign.

The 13 Most Anticipated Horror Games of 2011

Last year was pretty good to horror fans, pretty good indeed. It gave us Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a game that would’ve scared my pants off if I had been wearing pants while I played it. What? Don’t you play all your horror games without pants? After coming close to soiling myself during late night Dead Space marathons I’ve learned the virtues of playing games while my loins are in the comfy embrace of a thick adult diaper. It keeps me from having to do laundry so I can save my quarters for more important things like soda and snacks for said half naked gaming marathons.
