Boredom kills, but sometimes...
...it delivers!
So, I have a really bad habit of going to the PSN hunting for downloads when I'm bored. And most of those downloads (since I'm super picky about my themes) are demos. The good news: eventually I stumble over a great demo that leads to me purchasing the game. That happened with Dead Space, Dark Sector (though the demo was more fun than the actul game is *rips hair out*), etc. And I've talked before abotu WET and Call of Duty: World at War...
But, the point is, this time around, I stumbled over a rather quiet game that was released back in October of 2007 (pretty old, yeah!). The title was enought to lure me into reading the description, and because the description mentioned everything I adore (ex: "occult," "horror," etc.) except for the words "fog" and "Silent Hill," I had to download. Then the demo, made me fall in love with the game, leading to me sitting before the computer now to tell you... I bought the full game.
And what is the title of this mysterious game that I scored for $20?
Folklore
Sometime among all my SH forum runs, I remember hearing this game mentioned in comparison to Silent Hill (like most horror games are nowadays). The plot for Folklore isn't anywhere close to Silent Hill's (nothing is), but the game certainly does have that same creepy, weird, "I'm-up-shit-creek-without-a-paddle" feeling.
So, I invite all PS3 owners that love that feel in games to at least check out the demo. It is an RPG, which almost turned me away at first (the reason why Final Fantasy and I are not friends? I despise the fighting systems...hence why I tay away from pretty much all RPGs). But Folklore's combat is fun, fairly light-hearted and comical, but still fun.
Interested? Then follow the link and read/look/watch for yourself. :] I'm off to play it!
Folklore: Read me, I'm awesome!
Oh, and Ana, this is random, but what games do you have for the PS3...or rather, I guess, what games does Josh have? We seriously need to play some co-op or battle online!
