Cursed Mountain - Launch trailer (Video)

Aug 31, 2009

While Cursed Mountain sometimes builds tension well, it is still not that scary and fails to learn from clunky controls of older survival horror games. The eerie setting along with flashes of well-done moments are there but overall the game is only slightly above middle ground.

Cursed Mountain (Review)

Aug 25, 2009

With so many ‘horror’ games (Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead) surrendering chills for all-out action, it’s reassuring to find a game determined to put the willies up you with tight narrative and brooding atmosphere rather than cheap shocks. It’s also great to see a mature Wii game that tries to do things differently. ...

Jul 20, 2009

Cursed Mountain Cover Art Surfaces, Lookin' Creepy (News)

Jul 10, 2009

Colette Bennett@Destructoid writes: "Of you follow survival horror news, you're probably already aware of the bold statement I made about Cursed Mountain having the potential to become the best survival horror title of the year. I recently heard from Deep Silver in regards to the final box art for the title, and was rather surprised to see that instead of the demonic face as seen on the box on the official website, instead the art has been changed to protagonist Eric Simmons clawing his way away from a frightning-looking apparition (the full size art is in the gallery).

I have to admit I find this art a little less creepy than the face that graced the original announcement, but I still have confidence that this game could really deliver what I'm looking for. It's slated for an August 25th release date and is exclusive to the Nintendo Wii. Is it still on your do want list?"

Getting one of the best platformers of all time with four player support should be a godsend, right? Sorta. And even though the game retains the DS’s impeccable tight and intuitive, the characters goofily occupy a physical space in a relatively small field. “Up To Four Friends!” can now halt your movement, ruin timed jumps, and even swallow you while riding on Yoshi. Furthermore, one player ...

Cursed Mountain - first look (Preview)

Nov 12, 2008

Fighting ghosts by taking photos of them in the Fatal Frame games was pretty novel, we’ll admit. But Cursed Mountain may very well take the cake for the most unorthodox method of ghostbusting in the horror game pantheon. When battling crowds of undead spirits in Cursed Mountain, you do what any god-fearing person would do to make the scary ghosts go away: you pray. ...
