O Survival horror, Where Art Thou?

So I want to dedicate my first blog entry to the first game I really played from start to finish, and that maybe a hundred times (Ok, I'm exaggerating) : Resident Evil.


It was everything a twelve year old could dream of: awesome story (Umbrella was sooo f*cking evil!), great atmosphere, real zombies (not the running ones...) and the best intro ever...ok the intro was a shitty B-Movie, but I kinda liked it.

And it was also the beginning of my love for the sub-genre "survival horror“.  (Needless to say that I'm a fan of the Silent Hill series)


But now over ten years later, I have the feeling that there is not one real survival-horror game left.

Resident Evil became just another shooter with a few horror elements. Silent Hill gone more or less the same route.


Why?


Are we gamers really so in love with our action-heavy FPSs (don't get my wrong, I like them) that we won't play anything else anymore.

I certainly will spend my cash on a new survival horror game, if there will be one.


Or maybe I have to search somewhere else than the Resident Evil/Silent Hill franchises?


So if there is anybody out there, who cares to read my stupid little blog entry and knows about some games which would fit: TELL ME!  You will be my hero forever...:-)
