- Category:Other
TOKYO - Without trying to sound like a "Game of Thrones" promo — winter is coming.
As we enter this year’s season of cold, dark skies and shortened periods of sunlight, it almost seems fitting to spend some of that extra time off over the holiday break binging a chilling horror game. When it comes to video games in the horror genre, people seem to either love them or hate them.
For those of us that love them, horror games give us an adrenaline rush and a thrill that no other genre can. The beauty and art of these titles is their ability to make you fear for your life while staring at a 24-inch television screen with a controller in your hand. While the West has its fair share of horror game developers, no one does frightening better than the Japanese.
Whether it be film, anime or video games, Japan is a horror lover’s goldmine. From "Silent Hill" to "Resident Evil" and more recently, "The Evil Within," many of the biggest and best horror franchises have come from Japanese developers.
The items on this list make up some of the most famous Japanese horror games and lesser-known cult favorites that every fan should check out. All games on this list are fully playable in English.
