The splicers are coming, the splicers are coming...
As you know—or as some of you might not know but should—Bioshock 2 drops tomorrow. And there may or may not be a couple of us at Complex HQ with reservations about playing it alone in a dark house. That first one? Splicers everywhere, creepy little girls with yellow eyes, a leaky decrepit underwater city, and a dentist who doesn't know the first thing about personal space? Real talk, there could have even been a couple of spots when we had to pause it until our lady came home. Not that Bioshock is the first title (let alone the scariest) to give us the creeps. Nope, we're not afraid to admit that we're certified soft-batch when it comes to horror games. That doesn't mean we don't still play them, though.
From Resident Evil to F.E.A.R. there have been plenty of titles that had us on the verge of a self-soiling. So the night before you head back to Rapture, take a trip down memory lane with some of these games. Just remember to turn down the volume, turn on the lights, and have your mommy ready on speed dial...
TITLE: Alone in the Dark (1993)
CONSOLE(S): PC
COMPLEX SAYS: Back in the day, Alone in the Dark was one of the first games to have gamers jumping up and down in their seats. It was also one of the first to do the whole "I'm trapped in a spooky mansion" thing. While its success might have opened the door for a lot of horror games, the scariest thing about the series is how bad the latest installment was—not to mention the film adaptation.
