This was a big year for horror games, Capcom and Konami both released 3 variations of some of their big name horror titles making it a big year for Resident Evil and Silent Hill fans, but we also got some good scares on the digital side with The Walking Dead providing a well needed emotional take on the Zombie Apocalypse, and Deadlight for the XBLA delivering a more stylized story of survival.
AND THE WINNER IS…
SILENT HILL: DOWNPOUR
I can give two reasons why Silent Hill Downpour won this award, first of which is that it’s the only Survival Horror game that did not feature zombies and honestly, I think we’re all getting tired of them. Second and most important of all is that it is the only game on our list to make our reviewers crap their pants, and in the end, that is what we want from a Survival Horror game.
