For some reason, I haven't gotten around to playing the first one or any of the DLCs. The second one is one of my favorite FPS-games, and while I wouldn't call it scary, it has some really messed up revelations. I also enjoy the characters and the fantastic gore. The third lacks the atmosphere, and the horror elements are even weaker.

Yeah, it's the way all horror franchises go sadly. Look at Dead Space, which is an amazing horror game. The original is so atmosphereic and scary.

The second one builds a lot of Clarke's character, which is good, but it's atmosphere is toned down a lot and it's not as seat gripping.

The third instalment, from what I've seen, looks like Gears Of War.

Seems all horror games eventually turn more action orientated, due to it being a bigger gaming crowd I guess. Even Resident Evil.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent all the way.

The Walking Dead: No Time Left - Great finale, to one of the most surprising games of the year. Compared to the other episodes, this one is very short. Around an hour and a half. It's not so bad, because you are making huge decisions the whole way through. One sequence in the game is brilliant in how it brings together most of the big decisions you've made throughout the game, and even punishes you for a seemingly harmless choice made at the end of episode 3. The ending is a bit predictable, but fitting nontheless.

Episode - 8/10

Series - 9.5/10

Just got Lollipop Chainsaw and Dead Island. Didn't get a chance to play Dead Island yet but I did play a bit of Lollipop Chainsaw. Super fun.

Just finished Assassins Creed: Brotherhood

Not too bad, didn't improve much really over II, apart from story development, but I suppose why fix what isn't broken? I enjoyed it as much, just feels kind of short and tacked on. I'll probably start Revelations later today, and once that's done ACIII

Alice: Madness Returns

Underrated game. Fast paced combat, interesting visuals, great music. 8/10
