Top 5 Scary Games To Play On Halloween
All Hallows Eve is here, so now is the time to bring out the most frightening video games! There are a lot to choose from, varying from the ones that creep you out, make you jump, and of course make you yell, “WTF!” So to help you narrow it down to the best of the best, I’ve put together a list of the top five horror games to play on Halloween. So pop in one of these games, turn out the lights, and say your prayers, because tonight you’re in for a fright!
When it comes to horror in games, there are a few things that are givens: it will likely be twisted, bloody, and terrifying. In other words, my kind of game. The genres of such games aren’t quite as predictable, however, ranging anywhere from RPGs to first-person shooters, and rightfully so; why limit a fun thing like terror to just one genre? Nevertheless, when looking at the overlying themes of these diverse games, trends have been emerging, giving everyone a glimpse of where things are possibly headed. 
Okay EA, we gamers have been criticizing you for years about re-packaging games year after year and charging full price for what, inevitably, ends up being little more than an upgrade to a game we already own. So you finally addressed that issue and lined up some really sweet, original games for this holiday season like Dead Space, Mirror’s Edge, and Left 4 Dead. So it’s funny that a lot of hardcore gamers won’t be experiencing these gems thanks to your self-imposed PR nightmare: SecuROM.
You know… I’m typically not a “hype” person. I don’t like ads, and I intentionally ignore them. If I take an opinion, it’s gotta be from a real person. And, even then, I reserve judgment on everything until I try it myself. And all this noise coming from EA about their new survival horror game is cacophonous. So, here’s the deal: Dead Space = Hype. 
There have been reports from EA about its upcoming, deep-space survival horror game Dead Space not being released in Germany, Japan, and China. Other sources suspect that it’s untrue and that EA is just pulling our chains. I used to care less about the restrictions that other countries put on their imported video games, but with survival horror, it has made me appreciate being a violence-loving, desensitized, blood-thirsty, American-born horror game fanatic.
