Dying Light: Another Zombie game, but this ones extreme with parkor. I liked the song and the trailer was interesting but I think its going to be FPS ish. 3/5
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z : Looks like it could be a good specticle fighter, I never had the pleasure of playing the ninja gaiden games on the newer consoles. I like the idea of being hard. Idk. Trailer was pretty good, the rap was meh but overall i got a feel of what i think the game would play like.
Shadow of the Eternal: I never had a chance to play Eternal Darkness but the premise sounds awesome. Looking forward to this, hopefully it comes with Eternal Darkness PC version. THis video is a walk through and I will say the game looks decent. Videos Boring though.
Everything such as: Graphical glitches, blue screen of death, HAHAHAHA you actually got a demo version of the game, Oops looks like you actually just deleted your game instead of saving it. Oh look there's a fly on your screen. Oops your character just exploded becuase you suck start again. The main character was being sexually molested by her uncle and his ghost is back for more*wink wink* The character your currently controlling head just fell off. Look you can pick it up. Its zooming at you like any other item of the game... Now it's quoting Hamlet.. What the @#%^.
That sounds more tedious than fun to me. It's not as though I'm going to think "Oh no, blue screen! My computer must be haunted!", I'm just going to think my computer crashed and be annoyed. Why would that be fun or something I'd want to pay for?
The other stuff isn't as meta-game and just sounds like crazy random crap but nothing that would head-***** me, the player, personally.

It was timing. It wasn't all the game did either like you see a blue screen of death for maybe 5 seconds before it flash back to normal. Just enough for it to register OH **** BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH FU- oh wait. **** you game. That coupled with standard scares(Whispers, tricks of light, atmosphere.) It's all about that one moment where you think it's real. If the game did it constantly, or to long.(Talking about preventable 5 second flashes for most in an easily 15-20 hour game) It be annoying. But it's usually well timed and they do it just for a moment so you have that split second "Fear" and then say just kidding. I imagine some people would find that annoying. To me it enhanced a mood already set by the game. Making you question every step and every room you walked into.
If it takes you in, it's a trip. If you stay apathetic or just don't feel it. It probably be annoying. It's one of those things you have to *experience* to know weather or not it ruin your fun or enhance it. It has all the other stuff you expect from a horror game on top of it. What I describe however what made it stand out aside from it's well told story. It took a risk doing things that way. I think it paid off. I even go so far to say it's worth owning a gamecube or wii to play.(If you can find it) However I can see how that annoying for people.
Although friends that played and didn't particularly care for the game said they had moments where the game "Got them." With those antics and had genuine moments of what the ****. For what it's worth, I say it was well executed.
But really, if you think a faked glitch to make you fear something gone wrong on your end annoying verse a shadow just being a shadow. Why are you playing horror in the first place?
