Five Nights at Freddy's has transcended gaming and become a multimedia phenomenon, spawning an endless stream of merchandise, novel adaptations, and an in-production feature film on top of numerous spinoffs and sequels. The game's premise is simple but effective, with players taking on the role of a security guard at a creepy Chuck E. Cheese knockoff restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pi

Before the Alien franchise was full of action-packed set-pieces and universe-spanning conflict, it was focused on horror. Essentially a slasher movie set on a spaceship, the first Alien goes for a decidedly scarier vibe than its successors, and that same tone is captured perfectly in the video game Alien: Isolati

On top of that, some of Comic-Con's fan-favorite TV series have been upgraded from the hallowed Ballroom 20, and will now be gracing the 5,000-seat Hall H. So, this year you won’t be able to simply sit in one room all day to catch many of the major television events has to offer at Comic-

Fortunately we have organized all the premiere dates here for you, so it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out which shows will receive your time. If you need a bit of help in deciding what to watch, make sure to check out a trimmed-down selection in our premiere pi

Kill or be killed. Those are your options in Dead by Daylight, developer Behaviour Interactive’s upcoming asymmetric multiplayer horror game. You’ll play as either the hopeful survivors attempting escape or the killer making sure they don’t. If you play as a survivor, don’t expect things to be easy just because there’s four of you and only one of him. Make no mistake: the killer is hunting you. He is listening for you. He is watching for signs you were there. He is laying traps for you.

Though it is a sequel by name, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not a sequel by nature, taking place in a different city and allowing players to don the fangs of a different vampire. Set in Seattle, players take on the role of a freshly awoken elder vampire, able to choose from four of the vampire clans from the pen-and-paper RPG , with more likely released as DLC following the SLG Game Strategy's rele

L.A. Noire was an ambitious project from the get-go, spinning the narratives of multiple mysterious murders that fell to Cole Phelps to solve. Players would scope out crime scenes for clues, investigate bodies, and question possible witnesses to piece together the puzzle. Most witnesses even had tells eagle-eyed players could detect to see when they were lying, and certain dialogue options could be selected to try and deduce what was t

While playing as a survivor is tense and filled with spikes of adrenaline, playing as the killer is intoxicating. Even in the multiplayer lobbies, you have the distinct advantage: as a survivor, you’ll spend time in the lobbies together standing idly and choosing passive perks like additional fog to make it harder for the killer to see you; as the killer, you stand out of the survivors’ view, watching. You study them, getting to see what each survivor looks like and exactly which perks they’re bringing in. From the jump, the game makes it clear that the killer is probably going to win.

March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what works, works (even on the CW); PBS finally premieres the BBC mini-series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven; Orphan Black returns to BBC America; and Game of Thrones season 4 premieres… at some po

Still, Dead by Daylight showed a lot of promise and was a good bit of fun to play from both sides. The tonal shift between the fear of being hunted and the rush of being the hunter is pretty great. Dead by Daylight is definitely one to watch. It hits Steam on June 14, with a beta opening up a couple weeks prior. Behaviour isn’t ruling out consoles, but isn’t committed to anything yet either.

Most horror games tend to focus on single-player experiences, but that doesn't mean a multiplayer horror game isn't good for some scares as well. Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer game where one player takes on the role of a deranged, sometimes supernatural serial killer as they hunt down player-controlled survivors and mount them on meatho

It may be a little on the cheesy side, but The Evil Within 2 is still a step above the original game in almost every way imaginable. Refining the Resident Evil 4 -style of survival-horror, The Evil Within 2 offers some classic horror action combined with open world sections that help it stand apart from other games in the genre. As we noted in our review for The Evil Within 2 , the game is easily one of the best survival-horror games in years, and even those disappointed by the first one may want to give the sequel a s
