Oh, man have we got something cool for you guys today! We’ve been working with EA Games to help drum up interest in their badass outer space horror game, Dead Space, and today we got our hands on a blog posting from the game’s executive producer, Glen Schofield!

If there's one horror gaming series that doesn't need any introduction, it's Doom.

While we’d been guessing it would be the case, PS3 Fanboy discovered via a disc of assets given to them by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe that the new Siren reimagining will be released outside of Japan, heading into Europe this summer, and presumably coming to America around the same time.

A few different members of the press have been lucky enough to go hands on with the upcoming Ghostbusters game and have brought back some promising details. First of all, Eurogamer got word on how much involvement Dan Akroyd has had in the game; apparently he's been regularly playing the latest version and passing on notes.

All right, this might possibly be the last news bit we’re able to pull out of the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors which, you have to admit, has been pretty fruitful in the news department this weekend. I don’t think I’ve updated on a Sunday this many times in all the years I’ve been doing this!

Before Resident Evil ... before Alone in the Dark ... before, hell, Ghouls’ N Ghosts and well just about everything… there was Splatterhouse.

Silent Hill V is no more. But fear not, Silent Hill fans, because we're only talking about the name. In keeping with its war vet returns from war theme, Silent Hill V is now known as Silent Hill Homecoming.

Sony has just released a trailer of the new Siren game, revealing some very striking graphics, some great music and lots of Silent Hill-esque overtones. Seems like this supposed remake is going the route of The Grudge, inserting a few American characters into the horrible events taking place in Japan, and based on the combination of English and Japanese dialogue, it’s something I hope they don’t change.

Siren was a pretty unique little horror game. Released on the PS2, the game had a Ju-On- esque structure and a gameplay dynamic that let you “sight jack”; in other words you could see what other people, or in fact, the monsters roaming around the Japanese landscapes could see. Rather than focusing on combat, the game focused on stealth, so the ability to know exactly what someone else was looking at was pretty useful.

As reported by IGN, during a conference call with investors, Take-Two finally formally announced BioShock 2 to absolutely nobody's surprise. Still, it's only fitting that the pencilled in October 2009 release date should be so far off.

Nothing like zombies in space, you know? I bet that’s where they’ll go with the next Resident Evil movie ... or if they weren’t they will now. Someone in Hollywood is always looking for bad ideas.

Sometimes I’m loathe to bring attention to screenshots of a game that is still a good ways off when they look as bad as this, but when the game is Silent Hill V and the graphics just aren’t remotely up to scratch, it’s a different story.

Tantalizing. I wonder what it could be? At this weekend’s WonderCon, the guys at SlashFilm got their hands on the flyer you see below, stating that a very big Ghostbusters announcement would be made at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
