Identity crisis Then Half-Life: Alyx came around, raising the (crow)bar so high that you’d need to be Mr Fantastic or some sort of bird with hands to reach it.

These games have no right being this scary I’m not a very big enjoyer ofhorror games. On the very rare occasion that I do boot up a horror game, a chemical change seems to occur in my body.

Early last week, I had the opportunity to get hands-on with the demo forThe Devil In Me, the upcoming fourth entry and season one finale ofThe Dark Pictures Anthology. I’m a big Dark Pictures fan, but had some reservations about this latest outing due to its subject matter, which this time around draws more inspiration from real-life serial killers than supernatural legends.
