A very well done trailer and the engine looks fantastic.

I think I may be purchasing this one.

Interesting; I finally watched it.

Looks like you're playing a Stephen King book.

Anybody ever play that old Phantasmagoria game, by Sierra? At the time it was the most expensive game ever made.

Never saw Phantasmagora.

I think horror games can work if done right.

Resident Evil 1 & 2 (I didn't play the others), Silent Hill, and System Shock 2 all were very well done.

Ditto for the Ravenholm levels of Half-Life 2.

Doom 3 wasn't bad either, but was more shock horror than style.

I think I'm missing a recent game that belongs on this list.

I remember that one.

But I got three words :

7th Guest was great, it was the only reason to buy a CDrom when they came out. I think I played a demo of Phantasmagora from one of those sierra cds, don't remember much about it, besides the shitty acting that was a sign of all FMG to come after it.

Did you buy it?

If you didn't, you're shit out of luck.
