For example, is there anything more frightening than trying to connect to a Battlefield multiplayer match within days of launch? Even Battlefield 3 has been no different despite having big beta numbers and pre-order statistics to help out. Sometimes gaming horror comes in packs, like the hordes of peripherals Nintendo has been quick to unleash upon its devices lately. Steering wheels, balance boards, extra thumb-pads; I bet the hair on your neck is standing up just thinking about it.
The gaming industry even has horror classics. Whose blood doesn’t curdle a bit when they think about the Virtual Boy? How about a scary flop like Daikatana - surely that brings a bit of misty-eyed horror nostalgia. You can be sure that thinking about it still scares the crap out of John Romero. And then there’s Sonic… just… ugh, chills.
Have a safe and happy Halloween. Remember, don’t eat the razorblades in the candy because you don’t know what type of germs are on them.
