These 4 Horror Films (and 'Stranger Things') Would Make Fantastic Horror Games
Horror as a genre is something we've all come to know and love quite well. With games such as Agony, Resident Evil VII: Biohazard, Prey, and even P.A.M.E.L.A. aimed to change how we view the horror genre in 2017 in a dreadfully amazing way, it's hard to say there aren't a few shows or movies that could bring horror back from the dead. Devices such as the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, and the upcoming PlayStation VR are finally hitting the market and horror itself as a genre is about to grow even more immersive than ever before.

With 'Ashes of Ariandel' coming up this October, it's hard to fathom that such a great series is coming to an indefinite pause.

Review: 'Umbrella Corps' — Angry Gamer's Inbound
In the past, Resident Evil is a series that would turn heads if a whisper of an announcement leaked out into the world - that was until Resident Evil 5 came into the scene and drove the series in a downward spiral. In recent years, the downward spiral has gotten worse with titles such as Resident Evil's 5, 6, and Operation Raccoon City. While Operation Raccoon City is a personal favourite, it doesn't mean the title was good or even great, but was still slightly enjoyable as a cooperative game.

Horror Games: Why are We Drawn to Them?
Laying in bed at night isn't as difficult as much as one would think. In my youth I was one that found myself swooned to sleep by the articulated writings of H.P. Lovecraft. On Friday nights when I was six, I would sit on the couch beside my favorite stuffed bunny (whom I have to this day), and watch Sigourney Weaver and Bill Paxton team together to eliminate their xenomorph threat. On Saturdays, I would sit quietly on the floor with my parents, all perked up and watching Hellraiser. My favorite parts of all three? The artistic creativity behind all three of them. The artistic imagination it took to create the things I was seeing visually.
