But the reasons are weird.... how can Silent Hill not being scary if you don't have weapons and basically every single thing in the game can kill you?



Around the Network

Nice scores all around. I wonder what the negatives for RE are. Also, when they say best multiplayer in a Mario yet, do they mean every Mario game ever? Like, even Mario Kart?!!



First reviews I'm seeing for RE:D and SH:SM - Both looking good.
IGN said Silent Hill was scary.

Nice review score for CoDMWR - I think IGN is totally out of whack with their review.

Curious to see what they said about Nitro and Rabbids, expected 8s for those.



 

Rabbids is too easy to get through. Hard to complete 100%, but a bit easy otherwise.

Super duper fun mind!



Yes.

Different people have different ideas of scary. For example, people without a good sense of empathy will never really get a sense of horror from any story, so they only get surprised by jump outs or grossed out by gore.
