Survival Horror
They have to be my favorite genre in video games. There is nothing like a game that can pull you into it so much, that it legitimately makes you frightened to go around that next corner, or into the next room where you heard that creepy whispering. I love those type of games, as I love horror movies, but I feel video games take everything a next step when it comes to horror. You are the one in constant danger trying your best just to survive.(to that next save point) When watching a film it is easy to become disconnected from what is going on. Plus I feel games are a lot more innovative then their horror movie counter parts these days.
So what has happened to this genre? Use to seem like one or another survival horror title was coming out all the time back on the PS2. Resident Evil series, Silent Hill series, Parasite Eve 2, Fatal Frame, Clock tower etc. Now it is ages in between any sort of survival horror games. I did recently got a hold of Dead Space, and it reminded me why I love this genre so much. Now that I've finished it I won't to jump right into another experience like that, but I really can't find any other true survival horror title. Maybe its because I only have one console this generation that it seems this genre is drying up. I don't know.
Anywho if anyone has any suggestions about some good games I could try that would be sweet. Plus you can talk about why your a fan or not of these types of games.
