I’ve been typing for most of my life—flogging flax so I could afford a dragon longsword in RuneScape, roleplaying in World of Warcraft, and at present, writing multiple articles a day for the good site PC Gamer.

Located in the same convention center as the ever-popular Anime Expo, L.A. Comic Con is an annual convention celebrating pop culture, including video games. Besides tournaments of more recent games (e.g., Street Fighter 6), the convention had something for Old School Gamers like us. Compared to previous years, this year’s gaming section was located in…

Developers either stumble and make a game that just seems too gimmicky to scare anyone, or they manage to hit the sweet spot and create something that’s more than just terrifying—a horror game that’ll stick with you. And from what I’ve seen so…
