An implacable evil has invaded the world. It attacks indiscriminately, it can’t be reasoned with, and it won’t stop until it has completely obliterated a perfectly good genre. It comes in a little Games for Windows box and it’s called Alone in the Dark. Run for your life.It looked promising enough, with a dark and perfectly serviceable story that plops Edward Carnby in contemporary New York, which is under siege by what ...

Central Park erupts with horror in our closest look yet at this fiery bloodbath
May 23, 2008
Since inventing the survival-horror genre 16 years ago, the Alone in the Dark series has been defined mainly by creeping around in dimly lit corridors and hoping something didn't lurch out of the shadows to gnaw your face off. The creators of the new Alone in the Dark, however, want you to know that crawling through claustrophobic spaces won't be the focus this time around - and to hammer that point home, they'll literally tear those spaces ...   » Read Full Alone in the Dark preview

When every day heralds a near-endless procession of videogames to peer at, you quickly learn how to sift the good from the garbage. A particularly telling sign is when, as a game is demoed to you, your glaringly empty hands start to itch. Because you really want to play this one. Which is exactly how we felt during a recent eyes-on with Alone in the Dark. ...   » Read Full Alone in the Dark preview

It's time for some serious park strife
Jan 18, 2008
When it comes to cutting edge trouser-spoilers, Resident Evil is still the daddy. Continually bending the rules of survival horror, the fourth game in the series was not only one of the best games on PS2, but probably one of the best games ever made. And yet… while they could certainly lay claim to propelling horror gaming forward with arse-clenching frightfests like RE Nemesis, Capcom cant claim to have invented the genre. That honour goes to Alone in the Dark, originally developed by ...   » Read Full Alone in the Dark preview

Central Park never looked so scary
Dec 10, 2007
Dec 10, 2007 Alone in the Dark is a game that has spent serious time in development - and, eventually, all the early hype surrounding it has ever so slowly trickled away... but, we said it before and well say it again, thats a damn shame because, put simply, the game is shaping up to be a cracker. Forget Alan Wake, forget Silent Hill 5, forget even Resident Evil 5 - this really could be the hidden gem of next-gen horror gaming… so weve donned our boots and delved back into a distinctly ...   » Read Full Alone in the Dark preview
