..or am i crazy?   it just feels like there have been as much horror games out/announced this year than in the entire last gen.  sometimes i have a hard defining "horror" from mere "action" but i took a look at a few lists from the internet and compiled this:

Last gen:

dead space
resident evil
alan wake
condemned
the last of us
metro
siren blood curse
the darkness
the walking dead

this year:

until dawn
silent hills (P.T.)
the vanishing of ethan carter
alien isolation
daylight
dayZ
the evil within
grave

 

yo?

I think that a lot of the Zombie type titles have reenergized the horror arena.
