I’m a fan of survival horror games. It’s no secret that Resident Evil 2 is my personal holy grail of survival horror, but I also enjoyed Eternal Darkness, and even Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth had its moments. But as I’ve written before, survival horror as a genre is dying. In the […]

I took an online survey recently about what kind of gamer I am. Turns out I’m a survivor/collector.
