I think the problem with survival horror is that it's always been a niche genre. The cost to develop AAA games would probably prevent big developers from venturing into this genre. It's all about shooters now. I enjoy the RE franchise, but I've also allowed myself to open up to different horror type games like ZombiU and Left4Dead for example. I actually kind of like Dead Island even though it's very hack n slashy. The genre is dead, let's face it. A genre about dead things being dead.

Also, HD isn't very kind to horror. Seeing everythin clearly gives away suspense, and the opposite, having everything hidden in darkness is kind of lame. I'm looking at you new Silent Hill and Dead Space.

I enjoyed the enormity of the world, I mean universe of EVE but I couldn't get  past the subscription part. It's a super cool Star Trek battle simulator for sure. 

The old "Run Like Hell" strategy. I've been known to use it from time to time. 

I know that the guys from Retronauts started up a twitch.tv channel where they were live streaming old games recently. Maybe it's easier to livestream than to edit all the time. I'm not sure how it all works, just a suggestion.

There is no shame in loving DS games. It is by far one of the best consoles ever with an enormous collection of amazing games, especially for RPG fans. Dragon Quest 9 was an amazing game that should be experienced by all RPG players. 

And More Monster Hunter 3 in May for Me.

Yep. Kingdom Hearts. I wouldn't mind visiting some of those worlds or saving them either. Especially if you get those awesome Disney summon spells. 

Are you playing the War of the Lions version of Tactics, that remake is really good. 

Everyone died in my playthrough of Heavy Rain and the bad guy got away.

Infinite is on my bucket list.

There are moments in the game when the story is pushed along with video cut scenes which include a group of survivors, and honestly I don't know who they are? It's a pretty mindless hack n slash affair, but I mostly like the atmosphere and environments really. Had they gone the traditional survival horror route with a great solo mode, I think the game could have been memorable  based on the environment alone. The last zombie type game that took place on an island was code veronice, but this mostly takes place on a resort and shanty town. I hate to use the term "missed potential", but yeah.

Doesn't the game let you retry again at the battle you lost. I thought that was the case with me anyway. I lost a battle and then had the option to try the battle again. I still need to play it more.

The dialogue I could do without, the combat is pretty brisk for sure even for a turn based game it has a nice flow.
