Tis the season to be…naughty. This past weekend, you might have wondered why the streets were filled with people dressed up as Harley Quinn, and that’s because the rather infectious Halloween was celebrated both in its home nation of the US of A and around the world. As a fan of dressing up silly and getting free sweets, I’ve got no problem with that. Because Halloween is also a perfect time to engage in some classic horror games.
One of the best such games? Easily the first Western release of Clocktower, in the mid-90s on the humble PlayStation One. I’ve managed to scrub most of my memories of that game away, as it was brutal and traumatising stuff when I first got my hands on it while the desk jockeys behind the Video Tavern desk laughed at my fat naive face. Dicks.
But as Geoff and Zoe reminded me, Clocktower had a pretty simple setup: You see that place where you’re thinking of hiding? You can go there. And you’ll die. End of story. And easily the best use of garden shears until Hot Fuzz came along years later.
In Other News: The Hitman arrives one last time in 2016, not everybody has been kung fu fightin’ and BlizzCon is going to be white and nerdy this year.

Also, THQ Nordic now owns the rights to all titles and projects from classic military game developer Novalogic.. Anybody up for some Delta Force, perhaps some Comanche Gold?

I don’t know what that second video is, but it has a pony. Which means it’s for… those people.
