Gamescom 2014: ‘Until Dawn’ Brings Creepiness, Craptacular Cliches (VIDEO)

Our Euro-buddies are right in the midst of Gamescom 2014, that E3-lite no bastard pays quite enough attention to. Well, zip up your flies and listen up, because we're bringing you the picks of the show.

Beginning with Until Dawn. Now, we've all heard games promising to ‘reinvent' their genres. Sometimes it happens, and we're blown away on a tide of innovation that sends our brains dribbling out of our ears. The other 99.99% of the time, they're just blowing smoke up our skirts. Not that we're cynical.

If there's one thing that doesn't revolutionize horror, it's a small band of dumbasses dicking about in a cabin in the woods at night. With a ouija board. And a homicidal crazy lurking around. That's Lazy Scary Shit to Put in Movies for Dummies, right there. Still, we're sure Until Dawn can make it work.

This PS4 title does at least have an unusual angle going on, giving you control of the destinies of these eight unfortunate souls. Who gets impaled in the nads by a pair of rusty secateurs? You decide! (If you're listening, Big Brother producers, that'd be a great way to liven up the show. You can thank us later.)

Check it out.
