Nightmare House 2

If you're in the mood for something scary, enjoy this playthrough of the free game Nightmare House 2.



This segment from later in the game has several particularly clever chills:







And from the same creators, enjoy these Portal levels and play the flash version of Portal (which I might have posted before).

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

You might have heard mention what a frightening game Amnesia: The Dark Descent is. Well, this segment from about an hour into the game (from a full playthrough) gives a good taste. All you need to know is that you're alone in a haunted castle with no means of self defense.

Deus Ex: Revolution walkthrough

Enjoy the first 40 minutes of a playthrough of Deus Ex: revolution:






I also made a few screencaps:

I haven't watched more than a few minutes yet, but here's the first 15 minutes of portal 2. It sounds like, full walkthroughs of the single player and multiplayer will be posted within the next day or two.

Particularly good level of Bulletstorm

I don't want to spoil exactly what makes this level of Bulletstorm so much fun, but it starts off with a miniature cityscape, and then around six minutes in makes clever use of a cyborg Godzilla.

Bulletstorm playthrough

Here's part one of a Bulletstorm playthrough (profane language). (It's too bad they couldn't go all the way and give him white skin and a hook like Lobo.)

Bulletstorm demo playthrough

Lots of highly strategic cartoonish ultraviolence on display in this walkthrough of the Bulletstorm demo.

Dead Space 2 demo walkthrough

Full playthrough of the scary and gory Dead Space 2 demo. It's starts off with a summary of the events of Dead Space 1. (I definitely prefer the suit from the first game to the new version.)

Tron Evolution playthrough

Here are the first two parts of a full playthrough of the Tron Evolution game. The videos do a good job of capturing everything that's wrong, and right with the movie - - the action is exciting and stylish, but the dialog is unbearable. At least this explains the totally extraneous genocide talk in the movie - - it's apparently what the game is all about.

I wish the cityscape with Recognizers menu screen was available as a screensaver.

Force Unleashed 2 playthrough

Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 has received fairly negative reviews, but it looks pretty good to me. You can watch the entire playthrough at Youtube. In the video I posted above, which takes place midway through the game, Starkiller directs a Rebellion cruiser past a Star Destroyer, into Kamino's atmosphere, and onto a collision course with the cloning facility. He then hurls himself out of the ship, freefalls onto the facility, and takes on an army worth of troopers and walkers. What's not to like?

Watch a suped-up Samus fight a giant tentacled-space monster (spoilers)

Here's the last 10 minutes of Metroid: Other M - - Samus, at the height of her powers, fights a giant tentacled-space monster, and then, for no apparent reason, strips down to her Zero Suit to flee a self-destructing spaceship. (The writing in this game was embarrassingly bad.)

BioShock 2 - Minerva's Den Playthrough

Part one of a playthrough of Minerva's Den, downloadable content for Bioshock 2.

Metroid: Other M playthrough

Opening cinema and first boss fight from Metroid: Other M. When I last checked, the Youtube user had uploaded the first two and a half hours or so of the game. (Samus and her new finishing moves look great, but otherwise the game gets stale fast. It's more or less the exact same Metroid scenes and enemies you've seen many, many, many times before.)

Starcraft II playthrough

The first in a series of Starcraft II mission playthroughs. I like the robotic Adjutant that gives you in mission advice:

Link roundup

1. Boing Boing has unveiled a new Gawker media-esque link submission tool.

2. Watch a full playthrough of Limbo. It gets very repetitive after the boy slays his tormentors, but the first half an hour or so is sublime.

3. Microsoft super heroes by M.S. Corley.
