Horror Games from E3
I love to game, although I am not particularly good at it I still try to have fun with it. I generally stick with zombie and racing games although I have been branching out into games like Mass Effect, Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham City and the various Lego games. But, as an avid horror fan, blood and gore are my main gravitational pull when it comes to gaming. So, I was excited to see what E3 had to offer in the realm of horror gaming and I have to say with what I have seen so far it's great to see horror gaming being elevated. For those that didn't have time to catch up on the horror games I figured I would give a rundown (with mini commentary) of the horror games that are bloody, gory and I'm pretty sure will be a downright blast to play!
Let the games begin!
Alien: Isolation This time we get to see Ripley's daughter Amanda take the reigns and fight the big bad Xenomorph. I have been wanting to play this since the moment I heard about it and the trailer only solidifies that feeling even more!
Doom 4 Although I have never played a Doom game this trailer makes me rethink that stance!
The Evil Within Who doesn't like waking up to being hung upside down in a strange place while Leatherface's cousin is chopping away on the cutting board. The real horror begins when you free yourself and are chased by a chainsaw weidling madman. I saw the gameplay for this awhile back and was instantly sold. It looks balls out full of insanely gory goodness....I hope it lives up to my expectations!
Evolve Release the Kraken!! This was the first trailer I watched and it looks like it is going to be an amazing game. You can play as either Assault, Support, Medic, a Trapper or you can switch it up and play as the monster itself!
Bloodborne From the initial looks of this game I thought it was a Fable's/Assassin's Creed style game, but then when I viewed the trailer and saw the zombified dog that would scare the dog from Resident Evil to death I knew this was going to be good.
Dying Light Being a zombie game this has already peaked my interest and it looks like from the trailer this is no typical zombie game, which is a welcome change and I am ready to play it!
Dead Island 2 Having played Dead Island I am looking forward to Dead Island 2. The trailer is pretty clever and moving it to a California setting is sure to raise the stakes of survival.
Let it Die This looks like if you took every slasher and homicidal maniac locked them in a building and let them go at each other MMA style with weapons like a spiked baseball bat, machete and a chainsaw, just to name a few, it all adds up to gory and bloody....just how I like it!
My Evil Ways This feels like if Ellis from Left for Dead 2 got more edge to him and went completely mental this would be his solo game. It is survival mode in a zombie outbreak and although it looks like a typical shoot'em up zombie game I think this game is going to offer a lot more than just killing zombies.
Hunt Terrors of the Gilded Age Although the trailer is less than a minute long you can pretty much figure out the plot of this game. Hunters killing monsters and zombies....I'm in!
