If the delayed release of Dementium II has you down, don’t worry, horror fans, because you might want to keep an eye on the soon-to-be released title Deadly Premonition.

The story behind the Red Seed Murders in the game Deadly Premonition begins to unravel further in the rural town of Greenvale, with the introduction of the inquisitive Ingram Twins in this week’s character trailer. The survival horror title and Xbox 360 exclusive arrives February 23, 2010.

Do you love games like Silent Hill? Have you always thought to yourself, “Gee, it’d be really swell if I could play as a character with an imaginary friend?” Do you own an Xbox 360?

If Rainy Woods was something you have been following (for years now…) waiting and waiting for just the littlest ketchup squirt of information, I advise your waiting to end. Rainy Woods, a horror game originally planned for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 by Marvelous (with their partner Ignition, once again such as with their recent Muramasa), has been halted due to its similarities to the TV series Twin Peaks. It was more or less scrapped, though the developer Access Games has gone back to the chopping block, brought some bits from Rainy Woods, and brings us Deadly Premonition. It’s now penned as an exclusive title for the Xbox 360. Screenshots, character information, a trailer, and more details below!

I don’t think I need to tell anyone twice that has seen at least one screenshot of this game that the game is truly an artistic masterpiece of this generation. Le crème de le crème of artistic gaming splendor. This is clearly Muramasa’s weapon of choice, but what other spears did developer Vanillaware decide to toss your way? Well, what IS Muramasa besides fodder for the games as art debate? It’s a 2D Action RPG exclusive to the Wii, but daring enough to scrap any type of possibly fatal motion controls, so there are no gimmicks included in this package. (Thank goodness.) There are two playable characters in Muramasa, which romanticizes Japanese folk culture through and through. The characters, the backgrounds, the clothing styles.

In Japan, games are fearless and full of taboo and danger that the Western world has long barricaded itself from. Suicide, incest, infanticide, gives you the creeps right? Probably not, because in this generation we’re ready for themes like this, and if you’re me, you’re more than ready, you crave it. Tons of these games exist in Japan, but a lot of video game publishers tend to keep it that way in fear that it won’t gain any attention (Read: Sales) in other venues like the U.S. Luckily, there are publishers like Ignition Entertainment that are willing to jump over hurdles to bring us these sinister evils and “oh my’s” of gaming with their recent release of the quirky Lux-Pain.
