Engrossing, invigorating, horrifying... Amnesia is without a doubt the best value of the year
Amnesia: The Dark Descent came to my door after my early morning browsing of IGN's homepage. I saw they had listed in a dark corner "Amnesia: The Dark Descent review". Being an avid gamer I often check out all their revi... Read Full Review

For an indie game it's nothing short of incredible, but it pales in comparison to the major players in this genre.
You've probably already heard all the possible praises about this game. While it is indeed very scary at times, scariness alone does not a game make, even if it's horror. Let's start with the story. It seems tacked on... Read Full Review

This might just be the creepiest game ever made.
You wake up in a castle with a note you have written yourself. You cannot remember who or where you are, but your former self is not surprised. The note tells you that you have purposefully forgotten recent events, and t... Read Full Review

True Horror. Unlike other "horror" games that give you tons of ammo, this one leaves you helpless.
True Horror. Unlike other "horror" games that give you tons of ammo, this one leaves you helpless. If you like this, check out the Penumbra series (just Overture and Black Plague). Not for the "faint of heart". "Fric... Read Full Review

Great horror adventure game that doesn't quite deliver on the horror part
