It’s a phenomenal thing when a trailer for a video game can evoke a deep emotional connection with the viewer. This one did it for me and all I can say is…WOW! Dead Island releases on September 6, 2011 for Playstation 3, XBox 360, and PC.

The guy in this video is playing a computer game called Amnesia: The Dark Decent. I’ve heard this game is especially terrifying, especially if you turn off the lights and play alone. You can find lots of entertaining “Amnesia” reaction videos on Youtube. People who have played this game admit that these reactions are very real…which makes me want to run out and buy this game immediately!

If your both a horror fan and a gamer, chances are you’ve played one of the games listed below. The Ghoulie Guide would like to find out which game you think deserves the title of Scariest Video Game of All Time.

What is cooler than gunslingers in the Wild West? How about gunslingers fighting zombies in the Wild West! The creators of Red Dead Redemption have truly outdone themselves this time with a fantastic new adventure appropriately called Undead Nightmare. And it is just that. The undead have taken over the entire world of Red Dead and your mission is to stop them, save as many survivors you can and find a cure for your family who become infected in the first 10 minutes of the game. It’s anything but easy…I mean the zombies are everywhere! Some of them can run and spit stuff at you. And you don’t have the vast amount of ammo available in the first game making it much harder to kill the horrifying creatures. Speaking of creatures, the ordinary beasts of the wild west are infected as well. So you’ll have to fight off giant bats and other sinister creatures in addition to the zombie hordes. I’ve just started the game so I have a lot of fun to discover! Great job Rockstar Games!

Well over the spring I finally ditched my broken T-mobile phone and got the new HTC Incredible from Verizon. Not to quote McDonald’s but I’m loving it! This phone is awesome and so are the apps available for it. I found a fun app you should all check out called Devilry Huntress. This game is so addicting! The basic concept is similar to games like Jewellust or Bejeweled. However this game has a totally spooky theme and creepy animated characters. With character symbols such as skulls, blue spiders, haunted pumpkins, vampiresses, and zombies, you can bet this game satisfies the Halloween and horror fan! Read more »

So Halloween is well behind us and that oh so merry time of year is right around the corner. The weather is definitely frightful (unless your a skier/snowboarder), so best thing to do on those “too cold to go outside” days is become a video game nerd! That’s right… and if you can, get your little mitts on the new “Left 4 Dead 2″ from Valve, you won’t be sorry. Just like the original L4D, there is an abundance of serious zombie killing going on. This time its happening in the Southern states of the U.S. starting in Georgia and ending in New Orleans, Lousisiana.

Based on sales, its pretty likely that you already own a copy of this game. But if you don’t you should. It is similar in play to the original L4D except that this time, there are four new characters, and five new campaigns (Dark Carnival, Hard Rain, Swamp Fever, The Parish, Dead Center). What’s more, there are lots of new weapons and things you can pick up and use for melee. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the all new disgusting special infected characters such as the Spitter, Charger, and Jockey.

The new game isn’t without it’s fair share of controversy. For example, the largest problem was that many people were worried Valve developers were going to stop efforts to support the original Left 4 Dead. Players in the tens of thousands felt so strongly about this that they went as far as joining an online boycott of the new game. There were issues with significant lag in performance for online players in the old and new game. Players of the original were worried that Valve would focus only the newest game and leave the promised enhancements for the original in the dust. At this point, that remains to be seen, but in all, the new game is not to be missed. I’m pretty addicted to playing it now and am feverishly trying to unlock all the achievements. Later I may do a review of the new game as it compares to the original. I’m sure that will spur some controversy!
