Scary done right proper.

May 26, 2010

After playing several games recently that flirted with the tame edge of the “horror game” genre, I’ve decided to give myself some real scares.  I started Fatal Frame last night, and damn if it isn’t a fine way to freak yourself out, especially played in the dark with headphones on.

I’m having a little trouble adapting to the controls, I’ll admit.  I really appreciate the FPS mode from Fatal Frame II now, because the constant shifting between first and third person in this game is a bit tricky to manage.  I’ve already died once, and it was to a fairly early boss fight and I’m going to blame it squarely on not being able to spatially orient properly when switching perspectives.

Still, I’ll get the hang of it.  It’s a lot of fun so far and definitely seems worth the effort to recalibrate my brain a bit.  :)
