XPLoot –

When you look at the current landscape of games today, we have new horror franchises popping up and expanding the genre in terrifying new ways. Meanwhile, classic franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dead Space continue to build on their horrific legacy with new entries of their own.

As horror in other forms of entertainment have evolved beyond traditonal zombies and ghouls, games in the genre have expanded with their own grotesque and haunting creatures. With Halloween around the corner, we are compiling a list of our favorite horror games for an IGN Face-Off, and we want to include your suggestions. We’ve held several IGN Face-Offs covering categories like best Final Fantasy party member, best Star Wars Video game, and even the most iconic Nicolas Cage Performance.

So which horror game is your favorite? Do you prefer Resident Evil 2 or Silent Hill 2? Fatal Frame? Amnesia: Dark Descent?

Before the Face-off goes live next week, send us the horror games you want to see featured in it. We have a lot of the big names, but we know there are some great indie or cult classic horror games, and we want to include as many as possible so let us know in the comments below.
