The Definitive Horror Game Bundle Wish List
Excitement isn’t usually the first feeling that follows the announcement of the latest video game remaster and the various improvements it promises to make in an effort to be the ‘definitive’ version that so many of these claim to be.
The usual drip-feed of HD re-releases we get each year seems to be undergoing a welcome transformation this year, led by a growing number of titles that are arriving in bundles, rather — or in addition to — individual releases. We had the Dead Island Definitive Collection and Resident Evil Origins Collection earlier this year, followed by BioShock: The Collection this September and a Five Nights at Freddy’s series remaster sometime after that.
As we very recently discovered, the first two games in the Dead Rising series will soon join the above series as soon as Capcom’s ready to tell us about it.
This is an intriguing trend that might stick around for awhile. I hope it does, because I’m lazy and switching to my dusty older consoles requires effort. I’ve came up with a few more ideas for “Definitive Collections” of horror games from the era of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, since that, too, has been a consistent part of this trend.
Alan Wake series (Alan Wake, American Nightmare)
Amnesia series (The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs)
Condemned series (Criminal Origins, Bloodshot)
F.E.A.R. series (F.E.A.R. 1-3)
Resident Evil Chronicles (Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles)
Saw series (Saw, Saw II: Flesh & Blood)
Dead Space series (Dead Space 1-3, Extraction)
Suda51’s Punk Rock Grindhouse (Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw)
Vote for your favorite(s) below, and please don’t forget to leave a comment reminding me how stupid I am for promoting remasters when we have more than enough of them already.

‘Hellraiser: Resurrections’ – BOOM! Studios Event Unleashes Five Brand New One-Shot Comics [Exclusive]
BOOM! Studios recently announced that three classic Clive Barker Hellraiser comic books are coming back to shelves, and we’ve got another exciting exclusive for you today.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that BOOM! Studios will return to the labyrinthine horrors of Clive Barker’s legendary Hellraiser universe with five all-new one-shots this Fall!
A brand new generation of creators will explore the untold corners of Clive Barker’s infernal mythology, revisiting iconic Cenobites while introducing terrifying new stories that expand the boundaries of the Hellscape itself with Hellraiser: Resurrections.
Each week through the month of September, a new chapter of damnation arrives, revealing the forces gathering in the shadows. The descent begins with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – NEW WOUNDS #1 from writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga as they draw readers into the hedonistic world of Hellraiser.
When an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box goes sideways, the gateways to Hell open anew.
Then, hear the unmistakable chattering of death itself in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE ONANISTIC RITUAL #1 from writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell.
The Chatterer bares his teeth for a brand-new mission. His goal? To reclaim his rightful place as the right hand of the Hell Priest himself!
Next, venture deeper into the hierarchy of Hell with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE DEEP GOSPEL #1 from writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha.
The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it…until the Engineer found her. But when she rejects the Engineer’s plans for her remaking, she’s cast down into the harrowing Nidus: the place where the larval stage of Cenobites fight to survive. She’s been here before and made it out alive—and she’ll do it again.
The horrors continue in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – HELL’S COUNCIL #1 from writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia.
We saw the fall of Butterball at the end of Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Now we’ll witness his rise as the wounded Cenobite is taken in by a mysterious do-gooder who slowly nurses him back to health, all while worming her way into his brain…and maybe even his heart?
Finally, the event culminates with HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE RETURN OF THE PRIEST #1 from writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone.
Caught in the sensory deprivation of Middle Hell, Elliot Spencer suffers the worst fate: no feeling at all. When the glory of Leviathan’s light finally sears through him, granting him the gift of pain—it’s revelatory. The Hell Priest must journey to remake himself and gather his Gash once more to bring the cherished blessing of pain to all that deserve it.
From fresh visions of beloved Cenobites to horrifying new revelations hidden within the depths of Hell, Hellraiser: Resurrections serves as both a celebration of Clive Barker’s enduring mythology and the first chapter of an exciting new era for the franchise. The series kicks off a new publishing initiative that will bring a new Hellraiser ongoing series and miniseries to life through 2027.
Hellraiser: Resurrections begins this September with five weekly one-shots from BOOM! and distributed by Penguin Random House. You can preorder the series at your local comic shops and digitally through major content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
