What shall we talk about? I know! The best horror survival game ever; Fatal Frame




I know what you're thinking. "Two twin girls and a bunch of cute sparkly butterflies! How adorable! IT MUST BE MADE BY NINTENDO" Unfortunately, no. This game IS about twin girls:oboviously: that find themselves lost in the woods, and mysteriously end up in a dark abandoned village they can't seem to escape from. What makes it wet-your-pants-scary and therefor one of the best horror survival games of all time? Instead of being a standard third-person shooter where your weapons involve a wide array of guns, its a standard third-person shooter where your ONLY weapon is a camera. Yes, an old fashioned box camera. You will be hunting ghosts with it. Yay! Ghosts! Wait...What? I like this game because unlike all those gun-hauling shoot 'em up games, it still has the shooting aspect but with a twist. Instead of ammo, you find film. Throughout the game you are persued by a ghost woman who thinks you are her missing sister and let me tell you;the ghosts are realistic and terrifying to say the least. You'll be walking down the hallway and out of nowhere pops broken-neck woman! It's quite versatile as well. Even though it's a one player game, it's still fun to play with a group of people with you, since it has the same effects as a really good horror movie. Want an even better effect? Play without the lights on. I really reccomend this game to anyone who likes a good horror survival game, or to anyone who is willing to try one, and if you like a good story, this one will get you hooked.

  1. Ah! So now I know why you mentioned this game. Now you've peaked my interest. Next bargain bin buy is going to be this. Isn't there another one out too? Oh and don't hate on Nintendo. They do horror, remember Luigi's Mansion? Hmmm... actually, nvm. Bad example...
