Do you know what happened to Darkwatch? Well maybe Ethan does
Has there ever been a point when you’ve looked through your gaming library and wondered, “Huh, whatever happened to this title?” Well, I’ll be taking a look at videogame standalones/franchises and the lead up to their eventual absence. With that being said, today I’ll be asking the question: “Whatever Happened to… Darkwatch?”
Ah, the month that was October. A month of horror, mystery, and, oddly enough, Canadian Thanksgiving. It seems like only yesterday when people started gearing up for the month’s most famous celebration. A night of the year where ghouls, goblins, and a bunch of incredibly irritating people dressed up as that goddamn clown from It will be both literally and metaphorically wandering the streets.
Yes, I speak of none other than Halloween, the one true day of the year where I can still enjoy myself by sitting down and watching terrible slasher films from the ‘80’s. It’s not all about the flicks though, as there are several scary games that make their way into the frame as well.Some more notable gems out there include F.E.A.R, Resident Evil (the early stuff anyway), Outlast, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Silent Hill, and, more recently, The Evil Within 2. If anything, the titles listed prove that the horror genre has been a staple of gaming for years and it shows no signs of slowing down. With that being said, although there is a wide variety of games to choose from, what makes for a solid, well-rounded horror title?
