The latest additions to the collection

The latest additions to my ever growing horror game collection over the last month are:

Forbidden Siren £5 (gamestation)- Watched a freind try it for a few minutes and it looks fantastic, the photos over polygons faces didnt work so well on the ps2 but still it looks fantastically scary.
D £9.99 (gamestation)- On a recommendation from the Chris' survival horror quest forum i picked this up when i spotted a copy, for the first time in real life or online, in gamestation as new. looks interesting to say the least.
Alone in the dark: The new nightmare £Free (gamestation)- Ive owned this before but got rid of it and whilst its not regarded as the best in the series this attempt at a cthulu type mythos really saw a lot of play from me, free with d as well so i cant complain for a freebie.
Silent hill 3 £10 (gamestation)- i finally found a copy and i have been waiting a long time to play this one.
The Darkness £11 (forbidden planet) based on the comic books of the same name ive passed this by for a while but an 11 quid xbox 360 game is a rarity and im one cheap ass gamer.
Bullet Witch £9 (forbidden planet) if you crossed devil may cry, earth defence force 2017 and house of the dead this would be the result.

Expect more reviews to start up soon.

House of the dead 2 ...and 3 (ugh) coming to wii in new bundle


First kotaku, the most reputable site i know for legitimate rumours, posted this article: http://kotaku.com/gaming/zombies/sega-confirms-house-of-the-dead-wii-collection-323926.php about how sega announced the wii was getting a version of the acrade and dreamcast classic house of the dead 2.

In a recent article: http://kotaku.com/338613/house-of-dead-2--3-return-bundle-going-japanside coming out in Japan this march the wii zapper will be sold as the "house of the dead 2&3: RETURN" bundle.

Whilst its a little too comic book-ey to be considered proper survival horror its certain a fine arcade horror and one of my personal all time favourites that i would have recommended trying to find on the dreamcast, but now its coming out on this i dont know if i should.

i for one hope this makes it in the west too as buying one for cross bow training ,and then another for this means having two for the co-op play in umbrella chronicles.


curse you nintendo ,and your using of free games to sell perifierals, thats marketing evil is what it is.
