I didn't think about this until very recently, but the more I think about it the more video games have a capacity for fear. I look at the newer horror
movies (Saw especially) and see a preferance for gore rather than for anything that is truly scary. Perhaps it is my love for games, but I see the video game
as the ideal medium for horror in the future. The player is actually in the horror, as opposed to having no control over the often stupid protaganist.

Horror games have been around but lately they tend to go more towards shooting games. I wished they would make
American Mcgee's Alice for PS3 or more of a horror RPG. I know that Clive Barker had a video game out that I read was very terrifying but it's out of
print and I can't get my hands on a copy to find out.

Undying is the name of the Barker one. My kids would not sit in the same room when I played it. It was pretty damn eerie. I didn't play it very long, hard
for me to stick with a game, too much going on in my life.

I like Resident Evil (remake), Doom 3, FEAR and a few others, as they actually scare me in a way that I like (Doom 3 gets me very tense)
