	Survival horror game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Survival horror is a prominent video game genre in which the player has to survive an onslaught of opponents, often undead or otherwise supernatural, typically in claustrophobic environments in a third-person perspective.
		Survival horror is possibly the only video game genre that is defined primarily by theme rather than gameplay style.
		Other games such as the Doom and Castlevania series include horror elements, but such games are not typically considered survival horror because horror is not the defining game play characteristic.

	Resident Evil (series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of the games in the series are played from a third-person perspective, viewing the characters from a generally overhead camera angle as they move through pre-rendered environments.
		Although Resident Evil was one of the first games to use this gameplay style on console systems, the technique was first pioneered on the PC by the Alone in the Dark series which is often cited as the first game in the survival horror genre.
		Although the novels mostly follow the game's storyline faithfully, certain details and plot directions from the games are contradicted due to the fact that some of the novels were written before the release of sequels that expanded upon the previous games' storylines.

		Arguably the first survival horror title to include fully 3d environments (the idea that SilentHill was the first being somewhat of a misconception), Overblood was a Resident Evil clonenotable only for its clever storyline, involving an amnesiac infected with a mysterious virus,placed inside an enormous complex sometime in the undisclosed future.
		The end result was a traditionalexercise in survival horror with a number of tweaks (the ability to move while shooting, a newsecurity system, and multiple paths), with its own memorable moments (the T-Rex, for one).
		Kronos' Fear Effect took the survival horror genre in a number of new, and exciting, directions.In addition to a number of gameplay tweaks (faster combat, no health, and some sequences inspiredby "Dragon's Lair") and a unique style (pre-rendered backgrounds with animation, and cel-shaded,animé-styled character models), the plot was a refreshing change.

	Survival Horror Games: A Dying Breed?
		By Contributing Writer Jimmy Payne Survival horror games are probably one of the most original and fastest growing genres in all of gaming.
		Nowadays, survival horror games are still scaring newcomers, but they're creating much less of an impact on veterans of the genre.
		Another reason scary games can't stack up to scary movies is that all too often, games rely heavily on quick scary moments that are initially very frightening, but don't really have any long-term effects on you (except for worrying about the next quick scary moment).

	The Thing (PS2) now only - news and infos, data and review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Thing is a third person perspective, survival horror game that starts off in the immediate aftermath of the film.
		From a negative aspect this game takes up a ludicrous amount of memory card space and it can sometimes be a bit frustrating to find that not all of your npc colleagues follow you through to next level when you have gone out of your way to ensure their survival.
		The first 2 levels of the game are essentailly a tutorial that allows you get a good feel for the game, after that things get considerably more difficult, as you have your hands full with firefights and squad based play.

	Boomtown - PC
		Although the game does not fit any one genre, being comprised of first person shooter, role-playing game and survival horror elements, its closest fit would have to be as an adventure game.
		It’s hard to get a feel for how the game pace will be with a small alpha demo but the environment is interesting to explore and the village is of a convincing size with a lot of inhabitants and houses without being overly large.
		Pathologic has the potential to be an immersive and original game just as long as you realise that it isn’t solely a first person shooter, or your typical survival horror, but a mix of genres.

		The games' storylines unfold like that of a film, and multiple resolutions are possible depending upon what decisions the player makes during gameplay.
		The second game in the series also suggests that the town may be a metaphorical incarnation of a person's troubled psyche, or perhaps a kind of purgatory in which a person is judged for past sins.
		The protagonist of the game is trapped in the town and can only escape by resolving a personal issue that has been tormenting him (or her).

		The result is higher risk to game publishers (they need to sell more units to make the same profit as before), fewer games on the market, less overall innovation (it's too risky), and greater reliance on licenses and other tie-ins to artificially improve the size of the audience.
		These guys are in an odd spot: they are paid by some publisher to make games (and often must relinquish some degree of creative control to their publisher), but they are also small teams who can maintain an innovative vision and execute on it.
		I also missed a talk on cinematic game design by Richard Rouse, the brains behind The Suffering series, because it was also at the same time (slides).

	News - Ubisoft plans teen horror game /// Eurogamer
		But there is undeniably a lot of value in putting obnoxious big-breasted brats within blood-curdling distance of the horror du jour, so it's not too surprising to learn that we'll be playing a survival horror game about five American students stuck in a school this September.
		Ubisoft is the brains behind this, it seems, having announced plans to join forces with MC2 to publish and distribute a game called Obscure in the UK this September on PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
		It's a "real-time 3D survival horror" game that follows five students into their school, Leafmore, to investigate mysterious goings-on.
