My favorite games for the 360 so far (in this order):
- BioShock - Brilliant graphics, gameplay, plot and story. Can't wait for the movie, either.
- Condemned II: Bloodshot - Amazing graphics and compelling storyline. Loved the CSI element and clever choice of melee weapons
- Condemned I: Criminal Origins - Definitely more horrific than its sequel, I thought that this was a strong start of the franchise, but I thought the second did it better. Still thoroughly enjoyed it.
- The Darkness - Some sketchy UI, but nicely dark and compelling. I hope that they come out with a sequel that works out some of the kinks.
Any other recommendations that fall under Survival Horror?
(I have to give a personal shout out to Mothman and VC for getting me into The Darkness and Condemned games - Thanks, guys)
Des recommended the following in the original thread that seem to fall under Survival Horror: - Prey
- Perfect Dark Zero
- Timeshift
- Dark Sector
- Clive Barker's Jericho
Des and Co. - Mind elaborating on the games above? Strengths? Weaknesses? Add to the list? I've read some pretty poor reviews of Clive Barker's Jericho (and if I recall, Freak and Phalanx were disappointed). I guess my big question is, do these flaws outnumber the strengths?
I'm also really intrigued by the new Alone in the Dark game for the 360, though I've read some reviews and complaints that this one also has some execution issues. Has anyone played it? Thoughts?
SO. I'd love to hear your personal Survival Horror Recs. I'm new both to the genre and 360 gaming, so I'm open to anything. Thanks in advance. :D |
Perfect Dark Zero is not a horror game at all. Think of it like playing a James Bond game, but replace the characters, with the cartoon mascot characters of ESurance.
Timeshift is also not a horror game. It's dark, but it's Sci-Fi.
Prey I just got back from Gamestop with. It is more horror than the others mentioned.
Jericho is pretty horror oriented, but I haven't played enough of it to elaborate.
Dark Sector is very similar to Gears Of War.
