We’ve got a great line-up for you this month at Cerise! Contributors took our spooky October theme – Ghouls and Ghosts and Zombies! Oh My! – and really ran with it, sending in articles, stories and reviews all on the topic of scary games.
We’ve got several in-depth critical pieces examining video games in the survival/horror genre, and even Samara Hayley Steele’s continuation of her Gender & Live-Action Role Play series includes a few vampires, this month. Market to Me focuses on trailers for horror games, Craft Check features a great project for creating a spine-tingling playing atmosphere, and our Blogger Interview is with the bloggers from Girl in the Machine, notable for its in-depth coverage of gender issues in survival/horror games. In her Gaming in the Media column, Latoya Peterson recommends a bunch of other blogs you should probably be reading.
Our Gamer Stories this month celebrate the love of scary games (even those that we’re all too scared to actually play), and Bonnie Moxnes has some reviews of games currently on the market, served up alongside reviews of some less-frightening items. When you’re ready for something to lighten the mood, turn to The Back Page for some great photos of readers in costume as game characters.
And after that, be sure to stop by our submissions page, and help make sure that next month’s issue is even better!
