I've always been a huge horror/ sci-fi nerd. I don't know what it is about the genre that appeals to me but I've always been fascinated by the weird and macabre. I think a steady diet of Jim Henson's "The Muppets" & "The Dark Crystal", comic books and Hanna Barbera cartoons contributed to my love of all things strange. I was a huge video game fan as well but it wasn't until Capcoms Resident Evil on the PSone came out that I was completely hooked! But back then I was pretty picky about what games I played. Seeing as I had a small budget to buy games with, I had to make sure it was something I would really love. And being the horror fan that I am, I seemed to stick with that genre. But the pickings were slim at best so some of the games I bought could be a bit of a chore to get through (Nightmare Creatures). But there were some games that really stuck out and were a blast to play but for whatever reason, never got the attention it should have. Now that I'm a little older and have a little bit more disposable income (the operative word being "little") it would be interesting to go back and play some of these games to see how they stood the test of time.
Galerians -PSone
The Evil Dead -PSone
Resident Evil -PSone
Dino Crisis -PSone
Parasite Eve 1 &2 -PSone
Silent HIll -PSone
Alone In The Dark -PSone
Carrier - Dreamcast
There are also a handful of classic and not so classic Survival Horror titles that I never had a chance to play the first time through. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for
Half Life 1
The Thing
Run Like Hell
Kuon
Siren
Eternal Darkness
If anyone else is interested, it could be fun to play through some of these games at the same time and discuss what are impressions are. I'm going to start with Galerians, so if you want to join me, drop me a line.
