    Cursed Mountain is awfully ugly, poorly designed and almost unable to create any fear at all, making it a frighteningly bad horror game.

Because the medium doesn't seem to be evolving and maturing with me. I'm tired of playing childish games that pretend to be mature. Cursed Mountain is exactly what I needed. The game is thoughtful, has an amazing atmosphere, and a story that doesn't cater to an adolescent intellect. It has a slower pace that actually supports the immersion of climbing a mountain alone. The game isn't perfect (the motion controls could have been a bit more forgiving), but it's been one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a very long time. Hopefully, Deep Silver opened a few developers' eyes to the concept that there's a whole other level of "mature" that has yet to be truly explored in video games.… Full Review »

    I have waited for a while for some gloomy games on the wii, so i had expectations about this. I must say that it's good. It's I have waited for a while for some gloomy games on the wii, so i had expectations about this. I must say that it's good. It's visually stunning, with a very good dark atmosphere, and nicely directed. Sounds are very good and in-the-right-place, and I must admit the thrilling is very well rendered. Many people say it's slow paced, and it's true, but again, it's a survival horror, not a shooter. I found it refreshing, and a nice way to show what the wii is capable of doing.… Full Review »

    It is really one of a kind game. Definition of a hidden gem. Maybe it's not scary but it is atmospheric as f*** :) But if you want action, you have many other games to choose from, this one is slow. The combat is also kinda slow. That is not where the focus went (even thou it is also quite unique). The main focus went on the feel of the game and I absolutely love it. You won't find a setting like this done this tastefully anywhere else.

    I also like very much here that they respected the culture with their religion and history (mostly - the ending boss had very americanise things to say which was disappointing). But definitely overall respect it and Not americanise it with their ideology and so on like the current gold standard of western production (done with Chinese culture for example).    … Full Review »
