Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well!

The horror shooter genre is a relatively tame one. The terror that comes from such games is derived more from cheap startles than genuine psychological horror. Doom 3 is the pinnacle of these kinds of games, with many people simply labeling it as a startle game, not a horror game. However, a few years before Doom 3, Clive Barker tried his hand at suffusing games with his particular brand of horror. The result was Undying, and while not too scary, it was still more disturbing and affecting than most horror shooters today. This, combined with the fact that it was released in 2001, just goes to show that sometimes a genre just doesn't evolve.
