Briefly: Shinja Mikami’s long-awaited return to survival horror is here! The game has been garnering (mostly) positive thoughts from reviewers around the world, and as a huge survival horror fan, I really can’t wait to get my hands on it (after I finish Alien: Isolation of course).

The game releases today on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, and Bethesda has just debuted the launch trailer for the title/

Here’s what SJ thought when she played the game back at E3:

And it is scary. We screamed a little bit during our play through. And at one point, as we were sloshing waist deep through thick, congealing blood attempting to solve a puzzle to get to the next room, we were certainly viscerally affected by the well-realized world. Stealth and sneak attacks are preferred; noise and light draw unwanted attention. And the zombie/monster/box-man creatures? Only stay dead after you burn them. And matches are in short supply.

Between The Evil Within and Hideo Kojima/Guillermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills, survival horror seems to be back on AAA developer’s minds. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! If you’re a PS4 owner and you haven’t checked out P.T., you’re definitely missing out!

Briefly: We were pretty disappointed when Shinji Mikami’s return to survival-horror, The Evil Within, was pushed back to October, and our hands-on with the game back in June certainly didn’t table our excitement. But now the game is almost here, the delay is all-but-forgotten, and we’re more than eager for Mikami and co. to scare the pants off us.

The game is scheduled for release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 14, and Bethesda today debuted a fantastic, extremely cinematic new trailer for the title.

Between The Evil Within and Hideo Kojima/Guillermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills, it sounds like a phenomenal time to be a survival horror fan. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! If you’re a PS4 owner and you haven’t checked out P.T., you’re definitely missing out!
