They thought they had escaped the terrors of Banoi and survived the apocalypse on a corrupted paradise. Then their fate took a turn for the worse…
The Dead Island heroes escaped in a helicopter to the safety of a military ship, but when a furious storm hits and the virus suddenly spreads throughout the crew, the nightmare starts all over again, leaving hope drowning in the rising tides. Man I am a huge fan of the original Dead Island – what an excellent zombie blood bath! Ultra violent gaming mayhem at it’s finest. I can’t wait to see what the sequel has to offer.

Erie drops you into a visually stunning, yet terrifying scenario where your goals are to investigate, survive, and finally escape. It’s first person horror meets intense dark-ride with hidden, rotting cats. Erie begins in October 1966, when the Fermi 1 Nuclear Power Generator suffers a partial meltdown, and locals begin disappearing from a sleepy Michigan town. Oliver Victor is a Red Cross Investigator sent to find missing locals, but quickly finds himself trapped underground and being hunted by a product of forced-mutation experiments. Oliver’s rescue mission quickly turns into a struggle to survive, escape and uncover what’s been happening under the nuclear plant on the shores of Lake Erie. Developed by the University of Utah’s EAE Master Games Studio Program.
Erie is an Independent Horror game that I haven’t had the chance to try out yet, but I intend to do so very, very soon. C’mon it’s a free horror game, with decent looking production. Go here and download it. Check out some game footage and screenies after the break. (more…)

ZombiU. 2012.
ZombiU is a first-person survival horror game set in London, in which the player assumes the role of a random survivor in a zombie apocalypse. The player collects various items and weapons, used to fight and kill zombies, that are located or looted from different areas. If the player’s character is killed by a zombie, which can occur with a single bite, the character will permanently die and the player will then take the role of another random survivor. The previous character will become a zombie, who the player must kill in order to reclaim his original inventory.
I ended up buying my rugrats the new Wii U console for christmas this year, cuz ya know they gotta keep up with the latest techno gadgetry. With available titles including the steadfast Mario, Just Dance and Sonic titles I am just not that into the Wii (I have both); I’m a PS3 guy. So I decided to pick up ZombiU, a little treat for myself. Was I in for a blood soaked, fear inducing surprise. Right from the frantic introduction run through a horde of blood thirsty zombies the player is thrown into a desolate destroyed world filled with the undead. Every misstep is death, every miscalculation is death around every corner is death. Literally. If you plan poorly or try to go in guns blazing your zombie food; and when that happens you start over as a new survivor and might end up running into your zombified old character hungry for your flesh (very cool aspect of the game). Whether it’s scrounging for supplies, stockpiling your safe house or barricading yourself against the undead every decision is life or death. There are some truly terrifying moments in the game which are brought to life by the eerie score and the true feeling of lone desperation. The Wii U gamepad truly shines in this game, using for things like realtime maps, inventory switching, black-light scanning and sniper scoping makes for a truly immersive apocalyptic joyride. ZombiU isn’t your typical run through the hordes of zombies blasting away in a haze of blood drenched lead. It’s quite the contrary actually, high tension realism is the name of the game here. Its easy to die and ammo is hard to come by. I don’t remember playing a game that made me sweat with fear (well Doom 3 did) like this does. If your into real bone chilling survival horror, check it out.
