Best 13 Horror Box Art

With every horror game out there the box art is the first thing that stands out to us. It what gets our attention and draws us in. In celebration of Halloween I carefully sorted through all my horror games and chose the best 13 horror games.

Number 13
Emenium: The Ward

Just looking at this cover you question, what the hell am I looking at? Is it a face, a statue or some sort of ghost or demon?





Number 12

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

This yellow and black gives an eerie mixture especially with the man just lingering at the gate. As though he was some kind of serial killer, or a maniac drifter.





Number 11


Curse: Eye of Isis

When I first saw this I thought, “Did someone push this guys face up against a Xerox machine?” But he is suffering from some sort of abuse.




Number 10


Clive Barker’s Jericho

Well its face is only something his mother will love. Creepy, disfigured, and disturbingly gross.






Number 09
Clock Tower

Just seeing giant bloody scissors lunging towards you with a shady faceless man holding them. It’s something that will spook anyone, even with the cartoonish look of it.





Number 08


Condemned: Criminal Origins

A scared woman staring off into the distance, she looks like she sees something we can’t and is too scared to try and scream.






Number 07
Ghosthunter

People actually consider this game to be horror, I am not one of them, I thought this game was kiddies and being rated T doesn’t help. But the spooky part of this cover is that damn ghost in the corner. He spooks the hell out of me and I don’t care what anyone says.





Number 06
Resident Evil Director’s Cut

The original Resident Evil cover is pretty ridiculous as a beefy Chris holding a muscular gun to go with him. But this cover is creepy, as the first zombie you encounter in the game as looks over his shoulder at you. Proving that zombies are creepy.




Number 05
The Suffering

What game cover isn’t complete with a Frankenstein monster being strapped to an execution chair and a man with needles for his eyes in the corner?







Number 04
Resident Evil 3

Just looking into the eyes of a mutated Tyrant, let alone the main antagonist of the game staring at you.








Number 03
Silent Hill 3

Maybe I am being bias when I chose this one, but this cover really speaks to me. Girl in the corner with terror in her eyes, the background is nothing but rust and decay. Like it’s a sneak peak of her nightmares, which isn’t too far off from the story.







Number 02
Resident Evil Remake

Worse fear of the Resident Evil series is being attacked by a zombie and losing. As strongly expressed with Jill Valentine trying to fight off a zombie but ends up getting pushed farther against the table.







Number 01
Resident Evil Outbreak File 2

Just like Resident Evil Remake cover, this is actually THE cover of no hope. I mean the guy is pretty much just giving the gun to what looks to be Kevin. There is about three zombies holding this poor guy down, there is probably no way he is leaving that sewer alive.


Does anyone have their own opinion?

I'm Going To Pass On This Boss Fight. Thanks.

I’ve been playing Countdown Vampires for a while; I tried to excuse the Resident Evil feel to it. But enough was enough when they actually presented me with a Hunter clone. I threw my hands in the air, and the controller on the ground, when the Hunter gave me the famous jump and head decapitation Resident Evil Hunter is famous for.

But seriously, this game isn’t even scary the genetic mutated bosses in the game are a joke. I mean what kind of game actually let’s you leave a battle? I first noticed is when a cut-scene happen when a giant mutant mosquito, sucking on some dead guy below. This walking bloodsucker greets the main character Keith. I thought, this is going to be a good fight; I started to fire my gun. I then ran down the ladder near the door I came from, all of a sudden he was gone, nowhere to be seen. I decided this was bull crap so I left through the door, and went on with my mission.

Since then I’ve been laughing, and conserving my ammo for something that seems more of a threat maybe a puppy or an angry mailman. I don’t even care about the vampires in this game; they aren’t that big of a threat to strike fear into my heart each time I see them. I read that there are three endings, Good, Bad, and Special. If I ever do decide to pick up the game again, I will gladly take any ending I am handed. I probably will get a bad ending, I don’t help any of the vampires turn back to human, and I run from everything.

At the beginning they ask for your blood type, I didn’t know it at the time, but that indicates the level of difficulty. It doesn’t even tell in the manual about it, I had to look it up online for the answers. Keith at the beginning of the cut-scene trailer looked really cool in his coat, but the minute shit hits the roof he takes off his jacket to present to the crowd his manly chest. I could complain about this game more, but a lot of people had done this when it first came out. I was lucky to only found it at a local pawnshop for ten dollars; I would hate to be the sap that paid full price.

Speaking of price, the game offers a lot of gambling sessions for you to win money to buy healing items. Nice gesture for someone who is bleeding to death just to have lady luck on his side and everything will be okay.

The Spencer Mansion

There is over a dozen games of the Resident Evil series, including three movies made by that bastard Uwe Boll. But I can't help but love the Resident Evil series, even though Resident Evil 4 took a turn into a regular action-shooting game, instead of a survival horror. Making a mass of fandom from both Resident Evil fans and action-shooter fans, who never played a Resident Evil game in their life.

For people who aren't familiar with the story of Resident Evil, and I doubt that isn't even possible anymore. Resident Evil is based around a science outbreak that is caused in two locations (depending on what story you go on.) Either in a train from Resident Evil 0, of an old man who thought it would be fun to make some chaos happen. Or in the original setting for the Playstation 1, Spencer Mansion.

But for now I will talk about the original before I talk about the remakes. In Resident Evil for Playstation, you are given a choice between playing as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine. Depending how who you choose will help determine one of the many endings you can accomplish. In order to get the true ending, you have to go with Chris Redfield.

The original opening for Resident Evil is made up of corny actors and actresses. The group are known as S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad.) They consist of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, Brad Vickers, and Joseph who is the first to go. I can't help but laugh at the poor acting as Joseph is getting attacked by a zombie dog. And Jill yells out his name with the biggest smile on her face.

Despite the poor acting of these actors at the opening, the game itself was pretty scary for 1998. The only problem that I really hated about this game, was tank movement. It's the biggest problem that is faced with a lot of the Resident Evil games. But excusing the control issues it can be a very good game. Unlocking the truth behind the mansion, and fighting hordes of zombies, spiders, dogs, and gross mutant things.

I find it funny, how in one of the endings, Jill discovers Chris in a cell. He is stuck there and cannot get out, the only way to free him is to grab a key that is found further ahead. At the end, you can actually choose not to free Chris and leave for the helicopter alone as he stays in the cell waiting for you. I really laughed when it actually showed the helicopter flying away from the mansion. The idea that Chris is still in there waiting, put me into a laughter.
Yes as a cruel sense of humor I have, it is possiable to leave alone, doing so will reveal a cut scene as Jill takes off her berrat. As a large mound of hair falls down. Of coarse in any other version of Resident Evil series, Jill has short brown hair.

The Resident Evil game spawned several remakes, including the one for the Gamecube, Resident Evil Deadly Silence for DS, and Resident Evil Director's Cut for Playstation 1. The only difference from the original I noticed was the dualshock vibration. As well as more sequels and a prequel then I can shake a stick at.

Siren, Forever And Eternity

Spoilers

Siren: Curse Blood is a game that is as confusing as the first one. If you don't find all the archives, it becomes very hard to understand the game itself. After reading a forum about the game, I manage to understand the timeline and story of the it.

Despite it being a good game, it is one I am unable to even think about writing something of my own. That's why I applaud Siren-Hill for being able to tell and reveal certain misunderstandings and confusion in detail.

Here's basically the gist of of it:

-Everyone goes to Japan
-Sam stumbles on ritual
-Sirens start to roar
-Everyone is stuck in a time loop
-If Bella and Howard die the time loop restarts
-Bellas mom dies
-Sam discovers the secret of the town
-The Dr. finds a ancient artifact thingy to fight the god
-Amana preforms the ritual and kills Miyako
-Howard fights the god
-Bella, Sam, and the god get sent to different time periods
-Bella eats the dead god, and is cursed with immortality
-Sam being a selfish asshole, waits to send Howard a letter telling him to go to the town so Howard can kill the god again and again and again so Bella can live forever
-With that everyone are forever in a time loop that will never cease all because of Sam
