Some truly ropey footage of Atari's Alone in the Dark 5 has stepped out of the shadows, offering a glimpse of what's in store for this grim, action-slanted survival horror. Did we say ropey? We meant it - the clip sees lead character Edward Carnby scrambling his way up the side of a crumbling skyscraper, clinging onto a length of rope that's serving as a lifeline.
Flaming masonry plummets past him as he ascends, and exploding cars from the street below soar up and nip at his heels. Even the
And you thought Resident Evil 4 was a series reinvention - next year's Alone in the Dark game, Near Death Investigation, is set in a massive recreation of Central Park, allows you to drive vehicles, has an innovative analog-stick control system for using items and some of its biggest shocks are from fiery infernos.

The Alone in the Dark name might have been irreversibly tainted when it was made into one of the worst film abominations to ever hit theaters, but Atari's not giving up on its horror franchise just yet. The publisher today announced that the fifth installment of Alone in the Dark - previously announced for the Xbox 360 - will also hit PCs at the same time.

Some new details on the upcoming episode of Alone in the Dark surfaced yesterday, along with a trailer and a handful of new screens... but sadly, not even the barest of hints at a release date. The newest game in a series that defined the survival-horror genre before it even had a name proposes another first for game structure by focusing on episodic
After a long absence from the gaming world, classic survival horror series Alone in the Dark is back to terrify the control pad-wielding populace. Publisher Atari has let slip a teaser trailer, as well as few tantalizing details of the upcoming scare-fest.
The trailer is mostly a tech demo, showing off realistic, moody lighting full of mist and visible rays of light, and dangling only a few bloody hints as to what is going on. We spoke directly with Atari after seeing it, and were able to
