It’s almost Halloween, and if you’re anything like me, you’re going to try to make the most of it. Playing survival horror games can be one way of doing that, but the way the genre has evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), you might not be able to find many scares in recent survival horror releases. Resident Evil 5 is notoriously un-scary, Silent Hill: Homecoming is considered too action-oriented for many series die-hards, and as good as Dead Space: Extraction is, it’s definitely more of a shooter than anything else.

What happened to the days of true survival horror games — games where you remain defenseless most of the time, where your only recourse is running, hiding, and praying for escape? Oh, hey Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Didn’t see you there. You can’t blame me for skimming over you, what with the delay until next year and all.
