Hero, you remember on GR when you said there was a cast-iron bit of amazingness about halfway through with Bella, but you didn't want to spoil it. Which bit was it? I've been wondering about that since you said it!

Crash:

Fumbling to unlock the gate while shibito Melissa sprints towards you in glorious red-o-vision. It's like those moments in films where there's a killer/monster on the loose and someone's struggling to escape in time and just makes it. I was yelling "strawberry floating hurry up!" at the screen. :lol:

Uh... Ratchet this Thursday?

I bought Siren, and I like the episode divisions. I'm a great big vagina when it comes to horror games, so the bite-size chunks are exactly how I usually play these things. Still haven't started Episode 3, mind. The thought of playing a defenseless little girl gives me the chills.

I hate them, but love them. I love closing all the doors, knowing you are safe from them.

The Maggot Shibito... the first time I saw that thing I was like HOLY **** :shock: I literally ran into it.


Are they the massive fat ones with the huge heads?

Oh, and that bit where

you open the closed and that massive face screams at you


:shock:


That was bloody awful. Awfully fantastic. It was disgusting. Disgustingly fabulous. Totally unexpected and marvellous.

Horror games are probably my favourite game genre, but I can not play them for a long, especially if I am alone. The episodic structure has been bliss for me! Just about to play Episode 5.

The village has it's problems, but it's good to see they built homes with proper doors and locks. None of the 'The lock is broken' door nonsense that plagues most horror games!

One of the things I love most is how Sixaxis is used. When a Shibito pounces on me I end up going MENTAL waving the controller about like a madman trying to break free. And when holding a door shut, shaking the controller violently as the Shibito tries to get in is such an awesome feeling.

Oh god, in the hospital again :cry:

I love the sight jacking in this game, its tense as hell watching yourself being hunted down while at the same time you are running from them. Some of the executions are brutal, reminds me of Manhunt.

Oh, this tv ad for it:

I'm just about to start this.


You can tell a game is gonna scare the living gooseberry fool out of you when even the strawberry floating screen before you even load the game freaks you out.

There is one brilliant scare moment in this that I though was genuis. I think its:

The beginning of chapter 7 or 8 when you are back in the hospital with Bella and her mum. There is a mannequin next to you but due to the camera's positioning, you can't see it to start off with but as soon as you move THERE IT IS.


:lol:

I was tempted to download this last night but decided against it as I don't want to be stuck with a game that I can't trade in. When is the Blu-ray release?

This game is scaring the living strawberry float out of me, and I'm only on Chapter 2.

I don't like the noises the Shibito make. :cry:

:lol: I found it got less scary as you go on. As long as you have a weapon you can easily mow down any Shibito you come across.

How do you buy this? Off PSN? Do you need a credit card or can you use debit? This'll decide if I get a PS3 now or later.

You get it off PSN for £19.99 and can use either credit or debit to pay. I use a Maestro and it works fine.
