Thursday Gaming Thread
It's that time of the week again nerdmeisters.
I've not been playing too much this week- mostly Pro Evo after getting a Championship option file. The game really annoys me when it 'cheats'- i.e. doesn't let you have control of a player, or let them kick the ball, sometimes it's so blatant it's ridiculous. Still, best football game this year I reckon.
Read an interesting piece in the guardian games blog about horror in games:

Scariest moments in games I can remember playing:
Dead Space - Mostly the atmosphere!
Doom 3 - Just so claustrophobic and oppressive
Project Zero - Genuinely unsettling ghosts, and the only way to defeat them is to let them get close to you. Kind of wish I'd finished this, but got creeped out too much.
F.E.A.R - Lots of nice touches like moving shadows and 'what was that' type glimpses of things.
Megarace - Lance Boyle. 'Nuff said.
