Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2 (1998), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), Resident Evil – Code: Veronica (2000), Resident Evil 4 (2005) – which is perhaps the greatest video game ever made – and, at least for the first few agonisingly claustrophobic hours, Resident Evil 7(2017). There are, of course, a number of games that are dead – pun absolutely intended – certs. And, since there’s 31 days of this month in which to spook yourself, I thought it would be fitting to provide 31 incredibly chilling horror games for you to delve into – one for each day of this most frightful of months.
Seriously, should Magnus Magnusson ever rise from the dead and invite me onto Mastermind, horror games would almost certainly be my specialist subject. There is really no better time to scare yourself silly with video games – and we’re not talking about the rising price of them. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas – it’s October the month of Halloween.
