So, you could imagine my surprise when I found this at an EB Games near my work… At this point in time the most sophisticated system I had was a Wii, and therefore I could not experience these thrills and chills that I loved so much. But, I’m also a horror fan, and all the games I mention above (with some exceptions) can ONLY be found on the “cooler” X-Box and Playstation systems. What can I say I’m a sucker for Nintendo games. So the question is, can Nintendo offer a truly terrifying experience, or should we just go play some Mario Kart instead…?
But not this time in this case, Dead Space: Extraction was released EXCLUSIVELY on the Nintendo Wii (though a few years later it was ported to Playstation 3).
An interesting spin has been the Dead Space series, where you take your typical Zombie outbreak scenario and set it hundreds of years in the future on a spooky space ship! These types of games are usually not found on a Nintendo console, since Nintendo often opts for the family friendly approach. Such game series like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and even the more recent Alien: Isolation, continue to push the limits of Survival Horror games. A good one makes you feel like you’re in a horror movie where normally you could yell at character from the comfort of your couch for making a dumb decision (Don’t run upstairs!!! Run out the door you Cabbage!!!) Now YOU are the character, and have to put your money where your mouth is. The Survival Horror genera is not for the weak of heart.
