Halloween season is upon us! For some it means dressing up like their favourite horror characters, for some it’s about drinking all that pumpkin spiced latte. Well, for us it’s another reason to play new games (like we need one, ya know what I’m sayin’?) and what better way to kick off the spooky festival celebrations than to look at some scary-crap-your-pants horror games? Here’s a list of the 10 games you definitely need to play this Halloween 1. Little Nightmares Immerse yourself in Little Nightmares, a dark whimsical tale that will confront you with your childhood fears!

The Evil Within 2 is an upcoming horror game developed by Tango Entertainment and published by Bethesda. The game has been getting some really positive buzz around it at game shows where the demo had been playable, and some are claiming that it’s most intense horror experience they have had in a long time.

During nights, while you’re cowering inside yo...
If you’d like to be scared shitless tonight, you’ve come to the right place. Horror is a bit like comedy. What scares one person might not scare another person.

With the release of Until Dawn, and it being an exclusive, those who do not own a PS4 only have two options: Watch gameplays on YouTube, or read through our list of some of the best horror games to come out in the recent years. Let’s be clear. This list is not about honoring and recognizing the horror genre’s historical milestones. Resident Evil and Silent Hill remain important horror games, but if you’re simply looking to download a video game and scream on the couch with a beverage in hand, this li...
