Relive the Virtual Horror!

Boy oh boy, are we some lucky horror gamers? with a cache of great console titles to get yourself pumped about shown at E3 (among which were Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 5, Ghostbusters, and Dead Space) there just so happens to be a few more on the way. G4 has got their hands on some trailers for the upcoming slicers-and-dicers Monster Madness: Grave Danger and Siren: Blood Curse. Monster Madness looks incredible. It?s got kind of a Dead Rising thing going on only with, y?know, monsters? And did anyone else hate the fact that Dead Rising was harder than literally surviving a real life zombie apocalypse? Yeah, I think Monster Madness did away with that and has decided to put the fun back into video games (Remember Zombies Ate My Neighbors? Yeah, it looks that fun). Thank the stars. Blood Curse on the other hand looks like less of a slashfest and more of the Silent Hill/Fatal Frame type creeper. With a more serious premise than amputating monsters, Blood Curse promises a ?Sight-Jack? feature that will allow gamers to stare into the eyes of their foes ? if they dare. Cryptic? Both of these games look like excellent additions to the already burgeoning slate that horror gaming has set-up for next year. Be sure to check ?em out.
