Vintage Horror

Some horror-related game news here. The first one is probably old news to some but since I've got so many people looking and hungry for some "Siren PS2" news, I figure I'll mention this one here just in case some of you didn't know about it yet. There's actually a European official site of the game available to look at now. This is one interesting site which basically forces you to live out the experiences of the characters in the game. As a result, surfing the site turns into the creepiest web surfing experience I've had to endure. However, if you're patient and careful enough in navigating their Flash-based site, you'll be rewarded with a cool screensaver. You'll also get to be amused and creeped out by the atmospheres that the site creates.

You may also be interested to know that Azure has finally opened the official site for Shadow Hearts 2. For those of you who never got the chance to play the first game, Shadow Hearts is basically a horror RPG where the majority of the gameplay relies on your ability to properly hitting a part of a circular shape called 'The Judgment Ring'. Hit it right and your character will unleashed his/her strongest attack. But if you missed it, you'll only deal a small amount of damage to your enemy. The game design is also unique in that it's always set around early 1900s, rendering the characters and the environments in that old Edwardian style. Anyway, check out the official site of second game for some trailers and desktop pictures. And click here to look at the Japanese PS2 covers.
