Do I bite the bullet? Glowing reviews...love survival horror.

But dead space 1 had glowing reviews and was touted as survival horror. In truth it was a really shitty survival horror game...a good shooter...but complete shit for people that don't like their survival horror dipped in to action batter.

Im guessing I'll hate this one too...but will rent it.


i love survivar horrors games too . i loved resident evil 1-3. but after capcom dropped the ball with 4 and 5 i really havent played a good survival horror game. can you recomend a good one?

There are games this gen which follow the classic survival horror formula. Silent Hill Homecoming and Siren are two that come to mind. These games are great for people looking to replay the older styles of horror games but they really don't move the genre forward at all.

The only game I've played this gen which was something new, and can still be considered survival horror in the classic vein is Condemned 1.

Condemned 2 already dropped the ball and became action oriented...but part 1 was brilliant in generating chaos and uneasy feeling and wasn't all about mowing down the next enemy that the game throws at you.

i'll try condemned 1 . since i only have a 360 i can't play siren. i loved Alan Wake it wasn't a sulvivar horror but it was a bit scary and intertaining
