I didn’t have time to make a list of indie horror games for this year, so I decided to make a list of my favorite horror games that I’ve played so far. This will include indie and retro horror games.

Silent Hill: One of the Best Survival Horror Games on the PS1
I didn’t get into the Silent Hill series until the second game’s release. My friend Drew talked about the first game, but I don’t remember playing until I started collecting retro games.

Silent Hill Lost Memories is a Mess of a Book
Silent Hill Lost Memories by Kim White is a self-published book about the first three games in the Silent Hill series. It makes some big promises about what the author will write about. Unfortunately, this is a case of overpromising and under-delivering. This book is ridiculously overpriced. Even for a hardcover book, there is noContinue reading “Silent Hill Lost Memories is a Mess of a Book”
