REVIEWMAGEDDON is only a few days away, and as promised, we are working diligently to make sure we have some of the coolest prizes available to you, the reader. To whet everyone’s appetite, we have 3 copies of Legends of Grimrock available during this contest, all thanks to the awesome people at GOG.com.
So, what the hell is Legend of Grimrock? If you have been playing games as long as I have (27 years +), you will remember the old school RPG. The dungeon crawler paved the way for ARPGs to come into fruition, as gear and items were more valuable than anything else while avoiding traps and being smarter than your enemies could be better than almost any weapon. Grimrock is just that type of game but there is a twist, the game features beautiful graphics and a decent story that will keep you coming back for more and more punishment. As a throwback to the days of old, Legend of Grimrock also features an ‘Old School Mode’ that makes the game more difficult and removes modern era conveniences, like the minimap. As Grimrock draws inspiration from classics like Eye of the Beholder, Ultima, and Dungeon Master, it pumps new life into an old genre. Expect Legend of Grimrock to one day be a classic as well.
So, what do you say? Would you like to get your hands on a copy of the game? Just follow the giveaway options below, if we get enough entries, something awesome may happen… Also, we’ll award an ADDITIONAL 3 entries to anyone that ‘Shares’ the contest post on our Facebook page.
Good luck!
Scariest… hmmm… a lot of dark souls bosses are scary for the fact that one tiny mistake can cost you your souls and humanities, but scariest as in creepiest… Spiders in Drakan the order of the flame. Nowadays, games hardly scare me but back in the day I was terrified of the spiders in that game. Kept fighting with my friend over who’ll clear the area of them.
Silent Hill 2 – Mary
Probably the first few enemies in Dead Space. Shock factor, you know…
Scariest is probably that invisible water monster in Amnesia.
I know it may sounds weird, but the Illithid (or Mind Flayer) really freak me out. That kind of cthulhuian octopused-head that can read and drive your mind… brrrr…
Kinda tough… It’s pretty close between the Necromorphs from Dead Space or Regenerator from Resident Evil 4
Probably the Wraiths in Oblivion.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Scariest…. hmm… perhaps yourself in Planescape Torment for the total surprise of you suddenly existing as a seperate person.
Scariest Enemies? The Cactus from Final Fantasy.
Turning a corner in Eye of the Beholder and jumping to the mob I was now face to face with.
I like it.
Something’s wrong with the default twitter message: it’s not Guilty Gear X2.
We caught that, fixed it and still counted everyone’s entries. Sorry about that!
The Creatures from Amnesia, so scary T_T
Thanks for this chance guys :-)
Such a great and frustrating game. ;)
Awesome. Legend of Grimrock definitely reminded me of Eye of the Beholder when I first saw screenshots.
Dogs in Resi 1, when they jump through the window the very first time you play the game…
Freakin’ water monster in Amnesia
Probably zombies from Half-Life 2. I don’t really play horror games.
Spiders in most games !
A grue (you may be eaten by a…)
Zork!
I was genuinely too scared to continue past Gohma in Orcarina of Time when I was younger.
Playing Amnesia in dark room with sound turned up..scariest, creepiest I have ever played
hmmm… the first time I encountered the human sized Flood for Halo:CE of the PC a long time ago, when I was kinda young, was actually kind of scary, also, the first time I encountered the poison headcrab in HL2.
Spikes.. and water.
First encounter with Zombie from Half Life in dark room when I didn’t know how to use flashlight.
Jason from Friday the 13th for the NES.As a kid The game used to scare the crap outta me..Searching the houses and BOOM, out pops Jason to kill you.Add in some creepy music and as a kid that game gave me nightmares :P
Bard’s Tale 1 – Mangar. Creepy guy.
Most horrific enemy which I have ever encountered in game is a Gibberling
ReDead on Zelda Ocarina of Time… =S
Most horrific? The water monster from Amnesia :(
The Wall Crawling Zombies from Deadly Premonition always freaked me out
Original Resident Evil – Any zombie right around the corner the camera wouldn’t let you see
The Kohr-Ah were pretty creepy.
does Alma count?!?
The scariest one was for sure AM from “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” game.
Scariest game villian would probably be the evil haunting thing in ’7 days a stranger’ point and clicks by Ben Croshaw.
Maybe he wasn’t scary but creepy as hell – Master from Fallout 1. Special mention – mobs from Amnesia The Dark Descent, they created for me a lot of ‘fun’.
The head crabs in Half Life 2 always made me jump!!
im scared of goombas
Zombies in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sand Giant in EQ when I was a low level running through the desert.
When I was young, there was a dark room in “Witchaven 2″ that when you enter, a glowing red-eyed skull pops out in the middle of the screen and attacks you. In that moment I stopped playing that game forever!
The scariest enemy. Well, none have really scared me so I’ll just say the Magic Urn in FFX :D
Scariest enemy in a game I’ve encountered is Mr X from resident evil 2
During a long time I was scared by the ghost in Legend of Zelda : A link to the past.
xD
First time coming across a necromorph in Dead Space maybe.
Piano Monsters from Mario 64.
Scariest?! I dont afraid anything. Maybe LoG that change.
The scariest enemy I’ve ever faced are those in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, mainly because you can’t fight them, just run away or hide…
Man with Long Arms from Fatal Frame scared the heck out of me.
The zombies from Zelda on the N64. So scary when I was younger lol
Always a fan of Silent Hill enemies as they are both sudden and scary
If I’d have to choose then it would definitely be the Tentacle from HL1.
We use to call it the “Hydra”, and I got chills every time I heard and had to faced it.
However, I don’t get as scared of in-games enemies nowadays.
It’s a good scary atmosphere that gets me all nervous.
Game reminds me of classic might and magic.
Flat-out scariest? I think it’d have to be from a game that I played when I was younger. Probably Doom 2 and the cyberdemon! Hardest? The Stray Demon in Dark Souls is pretty darn hard. Took me hours to beat. I haven’t beat the game yet so there might be even tougher ones later on (likely).
The first encounter with the Many in System Shock 2 was pretty scary. “We seek. We seeeeeek…”
A bunch of bosses in Dark Souls were pretty scary.
I remember fighting the Bell Gargoyle and barely surviving when suddenly the second one appeared and totally cought me by surprise. Very intimidating…
Zombies from Ocarina of Time.
Cool cool cool Thanks!
Great game!
I have to say the scariest for me would be the Pyramid Head from Silent Hill! First time I saw him, when Iwas younger, I literally paused the game and ran out of the room to go get my brother so I could keep playing :P By far the scariest memory I have form a video game.
Gaping dragon!
those fast zombies in Hl2 creeped me out. also those floating demon heads in doom 3.
I’m in. Thanks for the opportunity.
Diablo!
Those regenerators in RE4 creeped me out a bit.
Thank you for this giveaway.

Alma
slenderman!
I never played games like this when I was younger, but I think I need catch up.
Alma
I’m a big fan of this type of games, hope I will win.
The fast zombies from Half-life 2.
Resident Evil 2, when the zombies woke up AGAIN after I spent all my ammo on them…
Most monsters from Punumbra and Amnesia.
