RE: FUCKING RUN on Fear 3 MP is a riot
That set me to thinking of Clive Barker's Undying and the Shalebridge Cradle level in Thief: Deadly Shadows and Ravenholm in Half-Life 2 and the Alma parts in F.E.A.R. and so on. Failures all -- irremediable embarrassments in the great panoply of video game scariness failure -- as if game makers keep looking for some secret philosopher's stone of scariness and keep finding reruns of I Love Lucy. Video games will always do this because they're made by people who make video games.
