THE EVIL WITHIN MAZE

On the gold coast of Australia has been set  a haunted house  with the characters and environments of  The Evil Within, the new survival horror of  Shinji Mikami that will be released the next week, exactly on the 14 october, it has been build  in occasion of the
Game Expo of Sydney.

The fantactic maze was borned by a partnership between Warner bros and Bethesda,
the house look well made and very funny with the atmosphere of the game remarkably recreated, how you can see, big and strong men are been hired with the task of scaring every fans that will have the courage of enter inside.

The final result is impressive, especially the big man with the huge axe in the hands and with the strongbox in the head is astonishing, which kind of survival horror fan   wouldn't
like go inside in a house like that ? Always I liked stuff like that, I remember ten years ago already I dreamed to visit an Resident Evil  haunted house, maybe in the future.

HOW AVOID THAT VIDEOGAMES BECOME AN ADDICTION

Videogames are one of my favourite hobbies, they have a lot of positive sides, infact them could develop smartness and  hand-eye coordination, teach you how think very quickly and make fast decision, improve memory and concentration,  increase your ability  to deal with challenges and frustations, help you to build perseverance, plus a lot of others positive effects,  moreover them could help you to learn a new language in fun way, as I have always said in my  other blog.

However, I have to be honest, in the past I suffered of some side effects that sometime  you can do  if  don't use them in the right way, happened when I was very young , I made some mistakes which took me to develop an addiction, probably other people did the same , anyway after that I realized to doing  these mistakes, I started to understood  what was the right way to play game.

OTHER MISSED VIDEOGAMES SERIES

There are other remarkable videogames series that unfortunately dissapeared accross the years, who remember GALERIANS ?

Was a survival horror published by ASCII,  the game was in pre-rendered background,  just like Resident Evil and talk about Rion,  a young guy just woke up in a hospital with an amnesia  that discovered to have psychic powers   and were in the latters where the gameplay was focused,  infact in this game in order to beat the enemies you didn't use weapons . instead you could rely only on yours psychokinetic skills.
This new way to combat was enough original albeit in the long term started to be a little bit ripetitive because there weren't so various ways for kill them,  some ways were so cruel,  for example you could . burst the brain of the enemy with yours mental power, as cruel as funny.
GALERIANS  inherited also the controll scheme of  Biohazard, was a time where the japanise software house still were the best in the world,  albeit this game never reached the pinnacle of the first three  Resident evil,  the orinal way to combat and the well drawn characters and  environments made of this game a very good one, unfortunately we can't say the same for the poor sequel that was released on Playstation 2 and very sad  that the series stopped after this one.
I feel the lack of one other franchise,  I'm talking about Syphon Fylther,  yes because albeit the adventures of  Gabe Logan weren't awesome how those of  Solid Snake,  I have to say that this action steath game had his own fascination, the gameplay was various and kille the enemies so enjoyable,  the last chapter was released in 2007.

THE EVIL WITHIN QUICK PREVIEW

The  survival horror is a dead genre , at least the pure survival horror that we have known on Playstation one , the last examples of this genre was been released on  Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube , I'm referring to Resident evil code veronica , Resident evil zero , Eternal darkness and few others , then what was been released since PS3 - 360  is a mix of survival horror and shooter , how many time we have heard a software house claim to will comeback to the real survival horror era with a particular game ? So many and all the time we realized that wasn't true , Resident evil 6  should have done so , according the Capcom bosses , but didn't it , the first chapter of  Dead Space did it only partially and the second and third chapter was much more close to a shooter than a survival horror , so untill now  everybody missed the goal. 
Also The Evil Within , survival horror that will be released next month , will try to do it , well , from the pictures and the videos that we have see so far , this game looking like very interesting , the level design of the environments are very dark and evocative ,  the monsters that we should fight seem well made as well , also the plot could be not bad , regard the gameplay should be a classic survival horror with a mix of  exploration , puzzles solving and fighting , of course the presence of  Shinji  Mikami who is also the director of this game , is a guarantee of quality.

THREE FAMOUS SERIES THAT WE WOULD LIKED CONTINUE TO SEE

What a pity that nowadays we  see a lot of series that don't have nothing to give us anymore nevertheless continue to have a sequel , while a lot of them which had a lot of potential were abandoned time ago , the three series that I would liked still see today are :

FEAR EFFECT : This was been one of my favourite on Playstation , is a action adventures game released in 1999 develop by Kronos Digital Entertainment and published by Eidos Interactive , the level design was awesome and the characters very  charismatic especially  Hana Tsu Vachel, you had to play with three characters alternating them, this plus the good plot , the exhilarating gameplay, the well made soundtrack and the mature content ,made of this game a "must have" for all the Playstation users.
In 2001 was been  released a second  chapter entitled Fear Effect 2 : Retro Helix  and unfortunately this was the last one , a third chapter was announced  for playstation 2,  but sadly it never seen the light , what a pity , I'm sure this serie had all the potential to go ahead , we don't know the reasons because this serie stopped , commercial failure ?  Maybe, anyway  I hope to see  Hana again in the future.
