Well, it’s the end of the month and this means that it’s time for my usual list of links to the ten best articles (plus some honourable mentions) that I’ve posted here during the past month.
Although there were a few “silly” articles this month, not to mention that this blog also celebrated its ninth anniversary on the 21st April too, I still managed to keep the second season of my “Horror Videogames Series” kept going reasonably well 🙂 To my delight, I also found myself focusing more on PS2-era survival horror games too 🙂
At the time of writing, I’ve prepared quite a few of May’s articles for this series too. Even so, expect two reviews on consecutive days (on about the 20th-21st May) because, whilst I was in the later stages of re-playing an old action-horror game for a review, I got totally distracted for about three days by an amazing sci-fi game that I also just had to review as well. Still, for the most part, expect lots more “Horror Videogames Series” articles next month 🙂
In terms of reviews, this month was reasonably good. As well as my usual “Doom II”/”Final Doom” WAD review, I also reviewed three horror games too: “Resident Evil Outbreak” (2003), “Whispering Willows” (2014) and “ObsCure” (2004) too.
Anyway, here are the lists 🙂 Enjoy 🙂
