Halloween has come and gone already this year, but Konami is getting ready to scare the crap out of horror-addicted fans. The publishing house has confirmed that for the first three months of 2012, gamers should expect to see a little bit of horror. To start things off, Konami has announced that the Silent Hill HD Collection will be released on January 24th....

Seen the new Rise of Nightmares trailer yet? I’d post it for you here but I’m not permitted to do so, not without an age-gate. Or, you know, A PRIEST.

Topping off an impressive heap of exciting announcements yesterday, Capcom are developing a brand new entry in the Dead Rising 2 saga.

As a huge fan of the Capcom brand of survival horror, when I heard tell of a fresh take on the genre – a hybrid of their very own zombie outbreak franchise Resident Evil and Spielberg’s reptilian mishap movie Jurassic Park – I was suitably excited. Twelve years later I headed back to Ibis Island for my first gaming regression of 2011. Labelled...

It’s been some time since a video game has really scared me. Sure, I jump and shriek and scream if an infected catches me by surprise in L4D (and I’m a bit of a baby when it comes to the spiders in RE5 and Limbo), but as for that aching, bone-shaking fear? It’s been awhile. Believe me. Grasshopper Manufacture’s looking to change all that...
