In spite of F.E.A.R. not really taking on a true anime like appearance, it does take a lot of inspiration from popular films and anime. You’re a soldier that must track down a girl with supernatural powers, but along that journey you’ll be faced with an array of challenges and scary moments. F.E.A.R. is just like the title expresses, there’s nowhere to run and you’ll need to rely on your sound judgement to make the right decisions, while avoiding near death at every corner.

Using whatever weapon you have in your arsenal, taking the heads off these things is the only way to go and bring you one step closer to finding this mysterious young girl.

Devil May Cry has an extremely tight knit community that’s truly passionate about the franchise. Many are praying that a new entry into the series will be announced soon, and we’ll most definitely be keeping our ear to the streets for when that happens.

Devil May Cry has always been a challenging experience, but 4 really nailed it with splendid bloody gameplay along with a fantastic story to wrap things up nicely.

The sheer thought of being trapped on an island is scary enough, but then when you hear of gruesome murders taking place and you’re not sure who the killer is, well that just increases the scare factor even more. Umineko no Naku Koro ni is made by 07th expansion, a small Japanese company known to have created widespread attention at past Comiket events with this crazy game. The anime itself is wonderfully drawn out with a gripping ending that will shock just about anyone.

As you read through the novel, you’re given clues along the way in order to determine who’s behind all of the mysterious events taking place. It’s no easy task as the game likes to toss you in different directions in order to keep you guessing, but those with a keen eye can pick up on the hints fairly quickly.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni isn’t shy to shed some blood and really pull you into the mystery game, where every decision counts otherwise you may just be the next victim.

There’s no arguing that Resident Evil is one of the most gory titles out there on the market, and continues to have a massive following embracing its incredible action along with gripping storylines. While every RE game is different in terms of location, the gameplay still remains very much intact as your mission is blast your way through a horde of enemies (mainly zombies), and uncover clues in order to put the story all together. Resident Evil Zero for the first time, allowed players to control two characters on screen for a more challenging experience, while still giving you an array of options to choose from in order to annihilate the enemy.

While Killer 7 came and gone years ago on the Gamecube and PlayStation 2, we simply can’t ignore this dark noir-esque title at all. There’s a lot of great story behind this classic title, along with very unique visuals that stood out among the rest of the games at the time. Grasshopper Manufacture, the same mastermind behind the most recent Let it Die and the cult favorite No More Heroes, took players into a gritty gang infested environment where no holds were barred and everyone was out for the top spot.

With an array of deadly weapons to choose from, Killer 7 demonstrated just how gory a game can be when you allow it. Samurai Swords, automatic weapons and other juicy tools in your arsenal make this title so satisfying to play for hours.

However you approach this game is entirely up to you, but Killer 7 is certainly a killer game and shouldn’t be ignored.

The Attack on Titan franchise really came out of the gates with guns ablazing, and really took the entire world by storm with its incredibly written story, and colorful array of characters. A group of soldiers must prevent their city and inhabitants from a group of mammoth human like beasts known as Titans, who will stop at nothing to devour anything in their path to survive. The wall has been torn down and now everyone must do whatever they can to put an end to the terror before humanity is wiped out.

What’s great about Attack on Titan is that is manages to keep the story very much in tact, while taking the game to the next level visually. It runs smoothly on the PS4 and all of the action is seamless as you race through the trees or scale tall buildings in order to reach these Titans, and cut them down limb from limb. Those who are fans of the franchise will most definitely find this title to be extremely appealing in every way.

Funny enough, people complained so much about the game's difficulty that producer Itagaki put in a mode titled Ninja Dog, where certain characters in the game would actually mock Ryu throughout the story. Beyond that humor is a well put together game with tons of gore and enticing visuals that make it seem even more real.
