So I had a hard time coming up with something to write about for my blog but I think I came up with a good topic… Scary Video Games and ZOMBIES!!! Yeah I love both... And when they are together it an Epic Event!
Let’s start with my favorite scary video games. My first favorite video game that’s scary is Resident Evil. I love all of them; there’s a set of these games. The last one didn’t really consist of zombies, it was more diseased people with octopus tentacles coming out of their face, which is equally scary. But back in the day, when zombies were everywhere in Resident Evil was my best video game days. I was scared to even turn the corner because behind every turn, every closed door there could be a zombie or even worse a licker or mutant frogs. Lickers were mutant people who crawled on walls and had these long tongues which they ate you with. The frog things could run faster than the characters and took several rounds of shot gun shells to finish them. But the best parts were the puzzles where if you didn’t get them right you could die. They were challenging and frustrating. The other awesome part is the government conspiracy behind the release of the T-Virus (zombie making disease).
The second one, I would have to say is the scariest, Fatal Frame. I wasn’t really sure what the point of the game was because I didn’t get really far; it was that scary. For me, nothing really scares me, and if it does its gotta be extremely scary that it would even give grown folks nightmares. So in the game all that I remember is I am walking down this hall in an old creepy house. I have nothing to see with except the flashlight the character is holding. As you continue down the hall it ends and right in front of you a ghost walks by, at the same time scary music blasts and I drop the remote. I couldn’t play. I was terrified.
The next two games I didn’t really have time to play them because of the lack of time Blockbuster or Hollywood would allow. The games are Condemned and Left for dead. Condemned was scary because it only gives you the point of view through the eyes of the character. So just like in real life you have to turn all the way around to see what’s behind you. And you never know what it could be. Because I didn’t play the game for very long I didn’t know what caused this outbreak of disease in the city. Left for dead I never played but I watched. It’s intense zombies come running at you in full speed screaming and blood everywhere. Its you and 4 other people and you have to make it from location to location in order to survive. You are armed to the teeth with guns and ammo. I want to play this game because I know it will give my daily dose of adrenaline rush and the scare.
Some people don’t like playing the games they are fine and scared just watching. But not me. When you are holding the remote is totally different from watching. Because when you’re holding the remote it’s like you’re in the game. You make the moves, the decisions; you’re the one being chased. It’s amazing how with our imaginations we can transport ourselves into these games. I love the feeling of being scared, the feeling of running for my life. I know that if a zombie attack actually happens then I am prepared.
I haven’t played video games in a while since I moved to Humboldt and I think I’m going trhough withdrawls…
