Welcome To The Terrordrome

For a while now I've been thinking a game like Terrordrome should exist: a fighting game starring horror movie characters.

This game is heavily influenced by Mortal Kombat which, if you think about it, has many characters that belong in a slasher film actually. All your favorite Slashers are in it: Freddie, Jason, Ghostface from Scream, Mike Myers from Halloween, Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Chucky...even Ash from Evil Dead and Army Of Darkness.

I've embedded a video of some gameplay footage below. You can check Terrordrome's official site here where you can download a demo if you have a PC (it won't run on Macs easily). I have a Mac so I can't play it. I'll have to be satisfied watching videos of the game for now.

Costume Quest Trailer

Tim Schafer (probably best known for his original Xbox masterpiece Psychonaughts) is a real visionary when it comes to creating groundbreaking and extremely entertaining videogames.

His new game Costume Quest has a genius premise. It's halloween, and peoples costumes turn them into all sorts of different beings. Actually, there's kind of a Buffy episode like this game. Kind of.

The premise for Costume Quest is a great way to get unicorns, robots, dinosaurs, skeletons...and so on, all into one game. And, presumably you can BE these things by dressing up as them. Which is awesome. Also, Halloween is probably my favorite holiday.

Here's the trailer:
