Top 4 Survival Horror Games

Since I've been playing Silent Hill: Homecoming and took a break for about four days, I'll do two lists today.

4. F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon)


I'm not even going to get in to why this game's name is fucking stupid (Assault and Recon are two different things!!!) and how it technically isn't survival horror. All you need to know is its fun and it will scare the living piss out of you. Oh, and its an FPS, for all you "Fuck third person games" people.

3. Dead Space





















Plunged into the nightmarish halls of the Ishimura's dimly lit futuristic halls, embark on an adventure that will make you wish you still lived with your mom. This game will scare the shit out of you, and it even has an impressively good story to boot.

2. Silent Hill: Homecoming















As a discharged special forces soldier (Alex Shepard, right), return to your home in Shepard's Glen, to find a nightmarish Hell of monsters. Also, your brother Josh (Left) is missing and you have to find him. The game transfers from a nightmarish Hell-realm, Shepard's Glen, and Silent Hill. You will be scared shitless in all three locations, and this is by far the scariest game I have ever played. Combat is also more refined than other entries and if you're quick enough you can dispatch some of the harder enemies without a scratch. Shit, this is starting to sound like a review, NEXT ENTRY!

1. Resident Evil 4


























If I go into great detail on this game I'm going to splurge. Just know this is a VERY well polished, fun, action packed, scary-ass adventure set somewhere in Spain. I had so much fun with this damn title I've played and beat it like five times and all the extras kept me entertained longer. One more thing, what're ya buying, stranger?


Note: I can't figure out why this post is fucked up, but its still readable I guess.

The 3 Best Holiday Children's Books

3. The Polar Express















Its about a train that (somehow) travels to the North Pole. What more is there to say, its fucking awesome!

2. Olive the Other Reindeer




























Its a classic about diligence, perseverance, and accomplishment. Oh, and its about a fucking talking dog that travels to the North Pole and leads Santa's sleigh, lets not forget about that. We all wish our dog was this damn awesome.

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas


















Everyone knows the Grinch, and how badass this guy is. Also, he learns a life lesson and shit, but Dr. Seuss created the biggest badass in Christmas history. Who else could successfully impersonate Santa Clause and steal an entire town's Christmas shit? No-one? Thought so.

The 3 Worst Video Game Endings Ever

3. Red Dead Redemption
















Don't get me wrong I love this game, the gunplay is smooth, the graphics are polished, the side-quests and diversions are fun, and the story is phenomenal. Oh wait, not the ending. The ending pissed everyone off. John Marston is a likeable guy, and he just wants to see his family again. After he gets back to his family what does the government feel the need to do? Thats right, murder the shit out of him. Murder the shit out of him after they made a promise to leave him alone. And to make matters worse you have to play as the whiney-ass Jack Marston after completion. Thanks, Rockstar.

2. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood














You gain access to the chapel where the game begins, Desmond must traverse obstacles, solve puzzles and pretty much do everything for his useless ass team. Desmond retrieves the Apple of Eden and kills Lucy. Wait hold up, he kills who now? Yep he is forced to kill Lucy by the will of some goddess. Holy shit. Best part: Its a fucking cliffhanger! Revelations may have come out, but keep in mind I got this last year. Cliffhangers are gay.

1. Hydrophobia

















Unlike the others on this list this is not one of my favorite games. The game was fairly decent but wasn't great. The story was pretty mediocre and the ending was terrible. The gist of the ending was that you (The chick in the picture) are about to get shot in the face by a terrorist, but lo and behold! The daring security chief comes to the rescue and kills said terrorist. All of the sudden a flood gate bursts and both of you are swept away by a flume of water and are presumably killed. END. The ending is so abrupt and terrible, I don't even want to think about it.
