It's the perfect time to dim the lights, bundle up on the couch, and get spooked by some frightening videogames.
Almost any videogame can be scary. Who didn’t feel a tiny jolt of fear the first time they faced off against the Space Invaders or saw a goomba marching towards them? Personally I still count Sinistar as the most frightening character in games, with Evil Otto froma close second—and he’s nothing but a big, bouncing smiley face. Anything that presents a challenge can be scary, and games are built around challenges.
Look, it’s October. Halloween’s almost here. Like so many, we’ve got horror on the mind right now, and when it comes to games, we’re looking for the most pointedly and explicitly horrific. We want to play games that very much want to scare us—that exist primarily to do just that, and that do it with aplomb.
