What horror themed games do you have in your backlog?

[Emperor Megas]

In the spirit of October, I'm going to try to put dent in some of the horror games I have in my backlog.

I just finished Silent Hill 2 on the XBOX360 version of Silent Hill HD Collection. I started a game of SH3 on the same collection, but I don't want to invest too much time replaying games that I've beaten (the PS2 version) when I have a massive backlog of other games, especially horror themed one.

My question is, what horror games do you have in your backlog, and how about trying to get some of the out of the way before Halloween? The first snow started falling here a few days ago, and it gets dark really early now in the Midwest, so it's peak for horror games. It's a lofty goal, but I'd like to try to get 3 more horror games finished before the 31st.

Anyone else doing horror games for October?

[Kitsune Sniper]

I intend to play through the Blair Witch trilogy on PC.

[Johnny Nintendo]

I plan on playing Friday the 13th for NES.

[The Adventurer]

I've got a copy of Silent Hill (PS1) I've been sitting on for almost 10 years. Maybe I should take a stab at it finally.

[Emperor Megas]

I've got a copy of Silent Hill (PS1) I've been sitting on for almost 10 years. Maybe I should take a stab at it finally.Yes, you absolutely should! And you should slap yourself, post haste, for allowing a GEM like that to sit unplayed for that long.

[SpaceHarrier]

Castlevania: Bloodlines, Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, Adventure Rebirth
Resident Evil 3, Code Veronica
Silent Hill 4
Splatterhouse 2

I only beat one Castlevania per year, it's a tradition.

[kedawa]

The original Silent Hill, XBLA port of SotN, Clock Tower 2, probably more I forget.
For modern stuff I still need to play Alan Wake, Dead Rising 1 and 2:OTR, and Castlevania; LoS.

[Schiggidyd]

Splatterhouse 2 as well for me, I know I beat Splatterhouse 3, so that technically isn't "Backlog" right? I definitely want to beat the 2nd one though!

[Blanka789]

I'm sure there are a few I should be planning on playing through in October, but my main goal is to beat my recently acquired copy of Midnight Mutants for the Atari 7800. After all, someone has to save Grampa Munster!

Oh, and 1,000th post!

[shogungb90]

I thought maybe its time for me to finally finish a resident evil game besides 5.

[The Adventurer]

Does Dino Crisis count as 'horror'? I' picked it up a few weeks ago, and I played a bit of it and kinda liked it.

[RJ]

I suppose I could throw in PS2 Fatal Frame, if I can find time to start it...or maybe Ghouls & Ghosts, or Ghosts & Goblins on Capcom Classics Collection on my PS2 arcade cab setup.

[The 1 2 P]

Lets see. Theres:

Cold Fear
Doom 3: Resurrection
Silent Hill 2, 3, 4, Homecoming
Left 4 Dead 2
FEAR Files
FEAR 2, 3
Resident Evil 4, Code Veronica: X
Devil May Cry 1, 2, 3, 4

I'm sure there are more. But atleast I have played games in the Doom, Silent Hill, L4D, FEAR and RE series. I just haven't had a chance to play all of them.

[kupomogli]

I don't really play games for the theme of the year, but coincidentally, Yakuza Dead Souls finally dropped down in price to $20 after shipping through Play-Asia(US version) so I purchased it. I originally preordered it at Deep Discount for $36 but after over a month of waiting and not receiving the game, I cancelled the preorder. As luck would have it, or bad luck I might say, two days later, some people I know receive emails saying it shipped, so I refused to get it until I got it for $20 even though I've really wanted to play it for the longest time.

So I just bought the game last week, but Play Asia and their ridiculously long shipping times, being located in Hong Kong and all, will probably take another two weeks to get to me. So it'll be late in the month before I can play it.

[Aussie2B]

Uh, all of them? If you really want to stretch the meaning of a "horror game", I guess I've played through some, but I haven't really played any traditional horror game. They're more in my collection for other people to play and enjoy. I like watching horror games (and horror movies), but playing horror games usually makes me feel too uncomfortable because I get really immersed when I'm actively playing.

But if it counts for anything, I'm playing through the 3D remake of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on PSP right now. Didn't even make the mental connection with Halloween (which I've barely celebrated at all since my mid teens), but I suppose it appropriate for October.

[Emperor Megas]

I suppose I was talking about any games that have horror themes, Aussie2B. Not just the traditional survival horror genre. Basically anything with a dark, horror'esque vibe. And I'm the same way kupomogli, I get really immersed in horror games. It's why I love them so much. Some of them (Silent Hill series, Dead Space series, Fatal Frame series) I have to just put the controller down and back the hell away for awhile.

At any rate, I have a ton of horror games in the blacklog that are either unplayed, or unfinished:

Sweet Home:Waiting on getting it back to be converted back to english.

Castlevania 3 Dracula Curse jpn version:Bought it years ago and i still haven't sit down to play it.

Splatterhouse 2&3:I can't remember if i ever beat either in the 90's.

That's what comes to mind for me any ways.

[G-Boobie]

Whenever folk classify Castlevania, Devil May Cry, or Bloodrayne as "horror themed games" I get confused. Supernatural monsters all by themselves do not immediately equal horror. By that logic, the Twilight books are "horror themed" because they feature vampires. Kinda dumb.

Horror in games is about atmosphere and player agency. Games like Siren, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame are definitely horror games because the player never feels safe: the mechanics allow you survive and progress but dont necessarily endow you with confidence or a feeling of mastery or power. The world in this kind of game is largely designed to accentuate that feeling of helplessness and discomfort. Contrast that with Devil May Cry, where you're an all powerful demon murdering machine that talks like a ninja turtle. You see the difference.

Back on topic, I'm going to try my best to finally play through Call of Cthulhu in PC. I've never been able to force my way through the third level.

By that logic, the Twilight books are "horror themed" because they feature vampires. Kinda dumb.You're probably equating horror to some measure with how macho you are rather than the actual content. Titles like Devil May Cry and the others you named are dark, atmospheric games with score of demons, monsters, haunted castles, and supernatural creatures trying to kill you around every corner. That's pretty horrific in itself, but they're also laden with extreme and graphic scenes of violence and gore.

Dark games which are more action based than physiological are still horror, they just don't scare or unsettle you as much, and you may be somewhat jaded at this point, truthfully. King Kong (the 1933 one) is considered a horror film, but it seemed more like a kids film to me when I first saw it, because I was so jaded growing up when I did.

Contrast that with Devil May Cry, where you're an all powerful demon murdering machine that talks like a ninja turtle. You see the difference.I see the difference between SURVIVAL horror games, like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame, and EXTREME ACTION horror games like Devil May Cry. But at the end of the day, they're all still horror. One just unsettles you a lot more than the other, and puts you in the role of the 'victim', where as the others puts you in the role of sadistic anti-heros, or a capable warrior of some type.

I haven't read the Twilight books, but I understand them to be fantasy romance. I don't think that's really on par with blood and guts games like Devil May Cry where every supernatural creature and person you encounter (most of which are disturbing in appearance) is actually trying to kill you, rather than court and have consensual sex with you. I've seen the first Twilight film (unfortunately), and it's not even night time for most of the movie, and the fucking vampires glisten in the sunlight. I get that Devil May Cry isn't 'scary' to you, but come on, man. :|

[Clownzilla]

Hmm, I might take this Haloween season to finally play a translated emulated version of Sweet Home for NES (wish they actually released the actual game n the US). It always looked great but I have never been in the mood to play it. I also have Resient Evil 0 for Gamecube collecting dust that I need to beat.

[Yago]

I want to finish Resident Evil 6. If you have not picked it up yet get it. It is great! I also want to finish Silent Hill 2 & 3 HD versions. Fatal Frame 2. I also have Texas Chainsaw Massacre on the Atari 2600 but never played it.

[SpaceHarrier]

I totally forgot Typing of the Dead.

So I had to pull this one out last night and dust off my Dreamcast keyboard (literally, as it was covered in a thick layer of dust from sitting in my closet for 9 or so years). You know, I used to type for a living, but I'm ashamed to say I couldn't complete the game. I got pretty far, but Goldman had his revenge and I was staring at the GAME OVER screen in disbelief.

I think I lost most of my health to the single letter enemies like bats and slugs, because they dart around so fast I can't read them, and the reaction time expected is pretty fast, for me anyway. Maybe that's why I don't type for a living anymore..

Dogs of the AMS... time they made a move.

[Emperor Megas]

Damn, I forget about The Typing of the Dead as well.

[Edmond Dantes]

I have a copy of Shivers II for PC that I have never even installed. If its anything like the first one I'm not sure I want to.

Also I need to beat Dino Crisis and Resident Evil Zero.

And the most horrifying game of them all, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones! Nah just kidding.

[Emperor Megas]

And the most horrifying game of them all, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones! Nah just kidding.No, you're not. :)

[Genesaturn]

I've owned Enemy Zero for so long, still never got around to playing it and I think its about time I do.

[DeseoParadise]

The 11th Hour
The 7th Guest
Clock Tower
D

I shit on my pants!

[Edmond Dantes]

Ahh yes, D... a game I haven't beaten just because something's wrong with my second disc.

Anyone got a spare disc 2 of D for Saturn that they won't mind parting with?

Also, do the Ghosts n' Goblins games count? I still have yet to beat them, though I managed to loop Super once.

[RJ]

If anyone has the original Playstation Blood Omen, I suggest playing that too. It's got an epic story & kinda long. Slow load times though, but the PS2 might help speed that up.

[FrankSerpico]

I just picked up a copy of the PC version of The Thing for cheap, I'll probably have a go at that. Also I still need to beat Castlevania: Bloodlines after all these years

[BlastProcessing402]

Also, do the Ghosts n' Goblins games count? I still have yet to beat them, though I managed to loop Super once.

Hell yeah they count. Halloween '89 I was too old to trick or treat anymore, so I got Ghouls 'n Ghosts for my new Genesis and played that for the night.

[BydoEmpire]

Nothing new or sitting unplayed in the backlog, but every Halloween I try to sit down and play some Zombie Revenge on Dreamcast. Cheesy fun. Never finished that game, but I still enjoy it. I might branch out with some House of the Dead 2 this year...

[Wraith Storm]

I've owned Enemy Zero for so long, still never got around to playing it and I think its about time I do.

Hell yes it is! Lock yourself in a dark room, grab a good pair of headphones and prepare to get your adrenaline pumping. Enemy Zero induces panic like no other game i have played. As you already know, the enemies are invisible and you can only rack their position by a "beep" sound. Not to mention your gun takes a few seconds to charge and then discharges after a few moments, so you cant just blast away. All this coupled with the limited save and load mechanic adds to the horror.

It's a strange mix of FPS, myst style puzzles and fmv gameplay. The game is not for everyone, but those who like it LOVE it!

[Emperor Megas]

As you already know, the enemies are invisible and you can only rack their position by a "beep" sound.I didn't know that, actually. I'll have to track this game down. I also forget about Bloodlines. I've never ended that game. You know, I can't remember ever ending ANY Castlevania game besides Lament of Innocence. Not even Super Castlevania 4, and I've played that a hundred times. o_0

[Haoie]

Quite a lot given that I looooove survival horror.

The most prominent is Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.

I hear it's just too hard.

[Edmond Dantes]

I didn't find Code Veronica to be more difficult than any of the other Resident Evil games. If you can beat Resident Evil 1, 2, or 3, then CV shouldn't be a problem.

I wish I had Enemy Zero... the Happy Nerd's review makes me salivate.

[tom]

Just received and played Haunted House, I'm still after Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (all VCS btw)

[BydoEmpire]

The most prominent is Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.

I hear it's just too hard.I played through it back when it came out, and I don't remember it being any harder or easier than any other "classic style" RE game.

[Emperor Megas]

I hear it's just too hard.I've honestly never heard that before, but for what it's worth, I can play through Resident Evil Code: Veronica in just over 2 hours USING ONLY THE KNIFE (save certain boss battles), and I'm no gaming guru.

[Tanooki]

Both along with basically everything I have boxed up right now there's Resident Evil 2 n64 and 3ds RE Revelations. I suppose in an odd way holiday themed GnG on NES and SGnG on SNES could count too along with the various console Castlevania games (NES, SNES, N64, GBA and DS DoS.)

[Froboz]

Started playing The Blair Witch for PC a while back on my old computer... scary as hell. Never installed it on my current computer, but now would be a good time if I can find it again. Also, never finished Playstation games Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver 2, or Blood Omen 2, so I'll most likely give one of those a try again. Oh yeah, and then there's Medievil II... it just didn't pull me in like the first one did, but it's worth giving it another shot this Halloween.

Only got so far in Thief: The Dark Project, too. Though strictly not a horror game, it does have some spooky parts.

[Kitsune Sniper]

You know, I mentioned the Blair Witch games but I ended up buying the entire Blackwell series on GOG last week. I'd only played through part one, but I just went through parts two and three, and am working on the fourth. Not exactly a horror series, though it does deal with ghosts.

Seriously, play these games. The writing starts out a bit weird in part one but things improve a lot from part two onwards (despite part three changing the mechanics a bit.)

[G-Boobie]

If anyone here is a fan of Silent Hill, I'd recommend "Lone Survivor" for PC. it's a 2d take on horror that takes the best ideas from Silent Hill 1 through 3 and adds a weird indie vibe to the mix. It's cheap and runs on basically anything. I had a lot of fun with it, and I thought it was a little overlooked.

[evildead2099]

Many of the games I play feature some element of horror. I enjoy playing Unreal Tournament. It isn't what most would consider a scary game, but imagine how horrific it would be to be stuck in a futuristic tournament in which you must kill your peers or be killed.

I recently re-installed old id Software games featuring creepy medieval settings, such as Heretic and Hexen. It's not uncommon to get spooked playing those games, but are they horror games?

I guess one game that definitely fits the bill is Resident Evil 1, if for no other reason than its reputation as one of the most influential (and successful) 'survival horror' games ever made.

I forgot all about Resident Evil... yes, I may need to dig that out as well! And yes, I think Heretic & Hexen count as horror... which reminds me, I also never finished any of the original Doom series... forget Doom 3, my computer doesn't meet the specs for it. But I think out of all the games I have, that's the one I'd like to play most right now, and that definitely counts as horror in my book!

[Polygon]

Silent Hill.

I played the game briefly when it came out. I liked it but never ended up buying it. Mainly because I didn't get a PlayStation 1 until later on. I'm trying to grab it right now since it would make a good game to play this month.

Yes, it would... I only played it briefly myself, but I loved the music & atmosphere of the game. I don't know why I never ended up getting it.

[Polygon]

Yeah. I was actually managing electronics at Target at the time. I played it during some down time at work on a demo system. I've always wanted to play it night on a surround sound system. Won a bid on a copy today, so it looks like I'm going to be making myself very uneasy pretty soon here. :)

[Froboz]

I've always wanted to play it night on a surround sound system.

Hell yes! I don't have a surround sound system, so I always play these types of games with headphones & the sound way up.

[Gameguy]

I must have a bunch of horror games that I haven't played, only a few come to mind at the moment though.

Darkseed
Shivers 1+2
Gabriel Knight games

I'm mostly thinking of PC games, I also have a bunch that were already mentioned earlier in the thread.

[legato10]

The week of Halloween I intend to play an marathon of horror themed games from the NES to Playstation. For this it doesn't matter if the game is flawed gameplay wise as in Friday the 13th, it's about the revisiting those older gems that just so happen to strongly embrace Halloween elements. My list would include: Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Monster Party, Castlevania (of course), Zombies at my Neighbors, Resident Evil (GC remake), and more.

I could only really do this after getting other things like Grad school and work out of the way.

[Froboz]

I used to do that. I would play the games just for the atmosphere. This year I won't have much else to do so I might as well dig out some of my old Playstation games & see what I will have lined up for the week of Halloween. I'll come back and post my picks & maybe I'll remember a couple of others I couldn't think of before.

Prepare for some frustration, especially with Darkseed.

As for me... I now have the GnG trilogy twice over since I now own Capcom Generation 2 for Saturn. (Now if only I had an Action Replay...)

I *almost* picked up Quake for Saturn, but decided to pass it over because I didn't really like the PC original.

[Froboz]

Ok here's what I was able to find. I just recently moved & my collection is scattered all over the place. Some of the games may still be packed away in boxes. Oh well...

Some of these have been mentioned already, of course, but I will include a note about each one so I'm not being entirely redundant.

PSP

Medievil: Resurrection - Forgot I had this. As a matter of fact, I forgot it even existed!

PS1

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - My all-time fave. This has everything, and the music is superb (I actually bought the soundtrack a while back)

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Love the medieval setting, and also very atmospheric. I never got very far in it, so this year I'm gonna try harder... maybe I'll look up some gameplay tips.

Medievil - I have a hankering to play this again this year. Love the atmosphere.

Doom - I know I have this somewhere where I can find it if I really take the time to search. And I think it included Doom 2 as well? I may be misremembering.

PS2

Blood Omen 2 - Yes! So glad this isn't one of the games I still have packed away. If I get frustrated with Blood Omen 1 I'll switch to this.

Soul Reaver 2 - Doesn't really say Halloween to me as much as the two Blood Omen games, despite the whole being the ghost of a vampire thing, but I may discover differently when I start playing it again, and as you will soon see, my options are limited this year...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds - Forgot all about this one! I'm a big Buffy fan, and I remember having a lot of fun with this one. So this is probably one of the first ones I'm gonna wanna play.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - I just can't seem to get the hang of using that damned whip, so there's one part I haven't been able to get past. I think it may have something to do with my controller buttons sticking. Maybe with a new controller I'd do better. Anyway, gonna give it one more try this year, just because, again, beautiful Gothic horror atmosphere!

I know I had Resident Evil but who knows where that is now. I still remember how scary it was when that mutant that kept saying "STAAAARRRRSSS" broke out and started chasing me down the hall! I sure wasn't expecting that! @_@ Really got my heart pounding. Which one was that? Resident Evil 2?

Anyway, that's it... depressingly few titles are available to me right now. But I guess that's a good thing in a way, because I'll be more motivated to progress further in the games I have before me instead of just giving up and moving on to another one. :)

That sounds more like Resident Evil 3 actually...

Thanks. I tried looking it up on Wikipedia but still couldn't tell from the description.

Slinder... Oh my god

[Tron 2.0]

Sweet Home:Waiting on getting it back to be converted back to english.

Castlevania 3 Dracula Curse jpn version:Bought it years ago and i still haven't sit down to play it.

Splatterhouse 2&3:I can't remember if i ever beat either in the 90's.

That's what comes to mind for me any ways.
Update at this point sweet home seems to be lost wtf.I sent my copy to nesreproductions.com to be converted and he said he never got the game,at this point i don't know what to do.

[The Adventurer]

I wasn't expecting to get into a horror mood. But by happenstance I got my mitts on Ghouls'n Ghosts for Sega Genesis and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for PS1. And I've been playing the hell out of them. Then, after getting quite far in Castlevania I decided to buy Castlevania Rondo of Blood on Turbographics Virtual Console. So I've been playing that since last night. Its much more similar to the NES Castlevanias. Which I both love... and hate. Bosses are assholes.

Holloween horror themed question; who'd win in a fight Ghost'n Goblin's Arthur? Or Castlevania's Simon Belmont?

Capcom and Konami should team up and do a crossover game between the franchises for the awesome.

[Edmond Dantes]

Holloween horror themed question; who'd win in a fight Ghost'n Goblin's Arthur? Or Castlevania's Simon Belmont?

Hmmmm, good question.

I can only answer by providing a breakdown.

ARTHUR'S ABILITIES (as per the original Ghosts n' Goblins)
* shoots really fast
* pretty nimble movement
* can't change direction in midair, but CAN turn and fire backwards
* can have up to two projectiles on screen at once (three if its the knife)
* one weapon--the shield--can deflect enemy projectiles

ARTHUR'S WEAKNESSES
* He can only take two hits before croaking

SIMON'S ABILITIES (as per the original Castlevania)
* can take several hits before croaking
* has an upgradeable whip that can sometimes block projectiles
* has a variety of secondary weapons that he can fire as long as he has hearts, these include ones similar to Arthur's weapons as well as a time-stop spell.

SIMON'S WEAKNESSES
* flies backwards whenever he's hit.
* moves slowly
* jumping is really stiff.

Okay, so that looks like its really biased in favor of Arthur... but is it really? After all, Simon has shown he can kill enemies that are much faster than him (those damned hunchbacks, anyone?) and the fact that Arthur can only take two hits may give Simon the edge.

It surprises me how even this battle really is. Arthur could win by sheer firepower, but Simon could win by sheer endurance, even absent of all other tactics or strategy.

... the only thing to do is make a game out of this.

[Arkayoh]

I've been piddling with Castlevania Bloodlines this week. Awesome game. Still need to get around to finishing Veronica X too.

[GiguFusc]

This thread has inspired me to play either Silent Hill on PSX or Alan Wake on 360..... Not sure which one yet.

I don't think I ended up completing SH, so it would be good if I can find my save file.
And as for Alan Wake, well, I think I just had a lot of games to play at the time, so stopped playing prematurely... Maybe.
:)

[Emperor Megas]

Well, here's it's Halloween and the only other horror game besides Silent Hill 2 I've managed to complete was Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. I've fired up Silent Hill: Origins the PS2 version a little while ago. I was only just under 2 hours in according to the save file, but I'm having a hard time remembering what I was doing when I shelved it last year. Honestly, Silent Hill games scare the shit out of me like nothing else. I only ended up playing for 10 minutes or so before shutting it off off after doing the bare minimal before saving. I may try to play through Plants vs. Zombies to round off a third horror title for the month. I can probably finish that before morning.


ARTHUR'S WEAKNESSES
* He can only take two hits before croaking

SIMON'S WEAKNESSES
* flies backwards whenever he's hit.
* moves slowly
* jumping is really stiff.Author gets knocked back pretty far when he takes a hit as well.
