Re: Horror video game recs?

Mostly the stuff that's busy scaring and/or creeping you out almost non-stop. I get a kick out of jump scares, weird faces, and similar horror cliches. Although an interesting plot is always a nice bonus. From what I know, I wouldn't classify BioShock as pure horror, though I might watch it for the story (I do watch non-horror games, too - my favourites are point-and-click adventures, e.g. Back to the Future and the Sherlock Holmes series).

Thanks so much! Definitely giving Alien Isolation a try, then. I'm not sure where to start with Silent Hill - there are a lot of different games? And I think I was planning on watching Resident Evil, yes.

Try to find an LP of the first Silent Hill game. It is arguably the most horror-oriented of all of them. Also very atmospheric

I'm going to pop in and second Alien Isolation. It turned me into a wreck at points, and it's also very...aesthetically pleasing and satisfying. The space scenery is absolutely stunning.

It really is great, and as an Alien fan its dogged insistence on being as retrofuturistic as its source material was quite endearing.

That's one of the things I like about it, too. It doesn't just make it feel like it fits within the series; it also makes it feel more real, more grounded. And the tactile nature of certain aspects of the gameplay (the levers, the maintenance jack, the radio tuner...) is incredibly effective at making you feel like you're actually there.

Gah, I want to play it again now, haha.

I do love how you had to throw the switches and stuff yourself! It made for a more tense experience, too, because things weren't instant -- and sometimes you had only seconds to shut a door on the bug.

Oh absolutely, that's why I mentioned the radio tuner! There are times when you have to use it to get through a door, and she's just a corridor away, and you're thinking, "ain't nobody got time for this!" Great way to simulate that "c'mon, c'mon, c'mon" feeling.
