The Dark Meadow coming soon

As you all know I love to do stories related to games on the iOS.  Games have come a long way on the iPhone and iPad and I think they are starting to really shine as fullblown video games.  It doesn't hurt that I own an iPad as well, so it's quite easy to become engaged in this new video game platform.  One of these upcoming games for iOS devices is entitled "The Dark Meadow" which will utilize the Unreal 3 graphics engine to bolster it's graphical intentsity.  Once you check out the screenshots and trailer below I think you'll agree it appears to be one hell of a creepy game!  I'd also like to mention that I think it's totally unfair to compare some games to others, especially ones that haven't even come out yet, but I can't help but notice the similarities between "The Dark Meadow" and some of the other horror games I've played in the past.  However let me be the first to say that, that is in no way, shape, or form a bad thing, this game looks amazing!  Here is the description straight from the official website.

"The Dark Meadow"

 "You wake in the bed of a hospital long ago fallen to stunning ruin, not knowing or understanding why you are here. You are greeted by the only normal looking person in this world, who sends you on a quest to gather what you need to track down and defeat the evil presence that has you trapped in this never-ending parallel world. The decaying hallways and rooms are haunted by creatures relentlessly hounding your every move. As you explore, you learn more and more about the mystery from the world and what you find in it, evidence to be gleaned from the environment, snippets of the past of this forsaken place, words and writings from others who have been trapped here, and you look for clues of how to get out."

Sounds pretty good to me!  Check out the trailer and some screenshots below to really whet your appetite for "The Dark Meadow" which is supposed to hit the Apple app store sometime in August.

Dream:scape coming soon for iOS

For all you iPad owners out there (and even those who don't own one) I thought I'd share news of this upcoming game for the iOS. (this includes iPhone and iPad)  Dream:scape was created using Unreal technology and should have graphics similar to that of Infinity Blade.  For the ghouls out there who haven't seen this technology running on an actual iPad, check out the screen shots below and behold!!!!  Dream:scape is being described as an interactive experience, an immersive exploratory environment, and a haunting journey that will become your world.

 Not many details have been spilled about the game other than it having a macabre/creepy/horror theme to it.  Another small detail that has been released teases us about the story which involves a coma patient discovering his dark past.  The game will sport over ten minutes of recorded dialogue and will flesh out the story using interactive 3D environments and written diary entries.

 Some of the other features of the game as noted on the official website from Speedbump Studios are an original score from composer Isaias Garcia and 30 seamless acres of open world exploration, featuring fully realized interior and exterior locations.

 No release date has been set yet, probably due to the game being delayed for compatibility issues.  As soon as I hear more I will let you ghouls know.  Seriously though, this is shaping up to possibly be one of the first big horror themed iPad games we've yet seen. (other than the new Army of Darkness iPad game, look for a review of that game coming soon!)

H is for Hatchet

 So today's post is the letter H.  Not too much to be said here but I do love the screenshot above.  I also have one question for the ghouls out there.  Has anyone seen Hatchet 2, and what did you think?  Was it over-hyped, or did it live up to the expectations?

You know what else H is for? Hysteria Project 2, and if you are the lucky owner of an I-pad then you'll want to be returning to HalloweenOverkill sometime this week because I will be giving away some codes for Hysteria Project 2.  Also look for a review of the FMV game coming soon to a post near you!  (By the way if you do not currently own an I-Pad then what the F*$K are you waiting for, they are so amazing I had to get two of them!  Actually my wife and I just couldn't share one, so that's the reason for owning two haha.)
