In this corner, weighing in at mildly depressing, we have the astounding trailer for Dead Island. In the other corner, the awkward sexual tomfoolery of Ubisoft’s We Dare. Put them together and you might just throw up a little.
I have a soft spot in my flimsy, weak heart for horror games. I’m easily scared and, for some bizarre reason I enjoy being scared. It’s for this reason, and partly because the incredible Dead Space 2 is being released this week, that we’re kicking off ‘The Horror’ – a week of terror-filled video game related posts on Kotaku.
Dead Space 2 is one of the year’s most anticipated games, and we’ve got an inside look at the action-horror series’ next chapter. Check out an exclusive pulse-pounding trailer featuring Smashing Pumpkins, plus our interview with Executive Producer Steve Papoutsis.
If David Lynch was asked to produce the next Mario game, he’d probably create something along the lines of this utterly bizarre video – which features a Bowser-Miyamoto Chimera beating the crap out of Reggie Fils-Aime with a Famicom. I still don’t know how I feel about this!
We have a splendid pair of tickets (with camping) to Splendour in the Grass to giveaway to a lucky reader for telling us a music festival horror story in just 25 words or less. All thanks to the scary new movie “The Loved Ones”… so, what’s your story? ENTRIES CLOSE TONIGHT!
