Abyss

This game seems like it could be boring, interesting, scary, and so many other descriptions at the same time. It has the main idea of most horror games where you're in an unknown area with only a flashlight with limited battery life to guide you. You're goal is to find a certain amount of certain items (in this game it's 5 items) and you're certain there is some creature trying to kill you before you get that chance. This game, like many other ones I play, get that extra uumph that makes me continue playing it by having a whole new scare feeling to it that makes it so that even if you know what's going to happen, it still catches you off guard, and you have no idea how to be ready for it. If you like these classic styled Horror games, than this is certainly one that you must try.

Okay... I know this isn't a horror game... but it's because of this game (and Minecraft/Pixelmon) that I haven't played any new ones, so I guess I'll just critique it for you. Back when I was in Middle School back at Magee, I would often go to this one classroom and play on the computers at lunch. Being a TUSD school student, most game sites were blocked, but luckily, the site that had the game N wasn't, so I'd often find myself playing that. As I got into High School, I was a little more social (well.. I didn't have as much chance at being on computers) and slowly lost the idea of the game. Around the beginning of my last Summer Break, it's name came to my head suddenly, and I looked it up and saw that there was a new version of it, and instantly knew I needed to download it and play it. It comes with 10x as much levels (at least from what I remember the original being like), much more traps, and even a function where you can make your own stages and share them with other people. In this game, you are a ninja who has to get through all these traps you see to get to the door and get out. Sounds easy enough right? Well.... you'll have to play to find out.
