For those curious about Magicka, I can recommend it. I hear that it's really buggy trying to play multiplayer. But doing a single player adventure is still fun.
I'm not good with horror games, myself. But eventually I decided on a system of saving, then treating each outing after a save as if I'm just trying to see what's next and not caring if I died or ran out of ammo. I'm not even reloading saves after each fight anymore!

HOWL
I've got the Path. I never really found it scary, it's just really creep when you think about it. Some of the analysis for what it could mean are disturbing.
If anything it sounded closer to them not working on Skyrim at all, working on a completely different project. Not that they couldn't have helped with Skyrim at the same time.
It's not that kind of horror, but at least it's well done. Personally, I don't feel Dead Space is scary, just very stressful.
I never felt that Silent Hill 2 or CoC were scary, just excessively tense.
Saturday the 14th maybe?
It wasn't a comedy.
Are you thinking of House?
It has it's funny moments though. Got it on dvd (got it dirt cheap a few years ago in the bargain bin).
It could be, I guess. I must research this further.
Edit: It must be. A google search of house 1986 brought up the vietnam zombie I remembered.
I love you, Gorth. Marry me.
I don't know how to answer that. Video game horror revolves around monster closets with intermissions of blood stained empty rooms and ominous music. That's pretty much the "actual horror stuff" of the genre.
Other impressions. The game is a lot darker. I don't mean "dark and edgy" I mean "can't see ****, captain." Oftentimes all you see is what you're pointing your weapon at. Not all the time, but there are segments. I don't really remember DS1 ever actually doing that.
The change to zero grav seems to be a good one.
Doesn't seem changed to me. Stasis recharges on its own, but slowly. Don't really recall that it did that before. Maybe you move faster now, but I can't say that you do.
There seems to be greater variety to necromorphs. Even just visually.
I'm never good at these lists, but I like yours. I just wouldn't include Heavy Rain or Civ 5 on mine. They're good, but not that good.
I can recommend Bayonetta and Darksiders. I think those would definitely go on my list. But not Alan Wake. I can't recommend that to anyone. Worst game I played this year.
Casual gamer is more likely to play the MT model. Play the game for free, but occasionally get lured by "oh, well it's only a few bucks and I do enjoy it." Or so I'd think.
It's not like those candies at the checkout aisle are targeting hardcore shoppers. It's a "get them in, then taunt them with lots of cheap small transactions that they won't bother adding up."
I'm in one of those situations where I'm remembering a movie, but can't identify the movie. We all have it.
It was some 80s horror film. Something was happening in a house. The only thing I remember is that the male lead's old dead war buddy started chasing him around the house. And eventually he puts grenades into the war buddy zombie. Or just pulled the pins on the grenades the zombie already had.
I'll never remember what it is.
