TOOLS YOU CAN USE advertisementThe horror ... the horror. I can remember when there were only two preeminent game console systems, Nintendo and Sega. The latter arguably had a better selection of games, ranging from Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat 2...

Rise of Nightmares is one of those games you are either going to love or hate for one simple reason – the control scheme. During the past several weeks I’ve been playing this game as well as recruiting several other co-workers and friends who have take...

A survival horror involving fighting your way through the dark, dank halls of an eastern European castle? Sounds pretty good. Zombies? Well, they've been done to death (chortle) but they're still fun to kill, especially if you get to use swords and kni...

To be honest, picking up the Kinect camera was more of an excuse for my fiancée to get a hold of the “new” S-style Xbox 360. While the launch window had a couple of above average games, the “Wii shovelware train” reared its head and I can’t say I’ve fi...
Rise of Nightmares gets a satisfactory nod for crafting a core game around the Kinect concept. The results create some interesting, if repetitive, combat, and the gesture work is some of the most sensical and responsive I’ve seen among Kinect games. Od...

Making a 'proper' game using Kinect seemingly isn't very easy to do. While some of the peripheral's better titles have managed to capture your movements modestly well, none have been able to put you into a virtual world and let you actually explore. SE...

The demand for Kinect games that appeal to the core Xbox 360 audience - who are far more comfortable with a machine gun in hand than they are throwing a virtual Frisbee to a cartoon dog - hasn’t gone unnoticed by the SEGA camp. In fact, the Japanese de...

This grindhouse gore-fest may be generic schlock, but the unique control scheme will pave the way for more interesting gaming fare in the near future.Rise of Nightmares deserves some credit for trying to be different. Unlike most other Kinect titles, S...
One of the few adultfocused games for Kinect; unique control scheme.
Generic story; repetitive combat; quirky controls occasionally leave you spinning in place.

A good survival horror game can suck you in, maybe more than many horror films. You sit in the dark, tension rising as you peek slowly around every corner, wondering what new terror awaits. You desperately hope there's ammo in the next room, and not th...
I’ll hand it to SEGA: Rise of Nightmares is an ambitious title, and it’s even functional for the most part (aside from the most basic of actions, walking). But ambition and basic functionality alone don’t make a game good. The ironic thing about Rise o...

Mad scientists often have the dangerous habit of combining things that don't naturally belong together, in an attempt to create new forms of life. So it is with Viktor, the disturbed doctor who fuses corpses and machines to create creatures that cause...
Good variety of weapons, Creepy atmosphere.
Motion controls are limiting and awkward, Shallow, easy combat.

The horror game experience is one that just about all gamers are familiar with. Playing in the dead of night, lights off, with the volume turned up is a sure-fire way to get into a horror game. Unfortunately, you cannot play Rise of nightmares this way...

Rise of Nightmares has genuinely impressed me. I had become accustomed to the idea that any action game on the Kinect would only work if it was presented as an on-rails adventure, something like Child of Eden for instance. The concept of being able to...
