Push Square: "To say that EA is obsessed with Call of Duty would be an understatement. The publisher has been desperately trying to pick off Activisions multiformat cash cow ever since Infinity Ward a studio originally made up of Medal of Honor veterans, we hasten to add changed the entire first-person arena one poorly balanced perk at a time. Its tossed more money at the problem than a small nations military department, even attempting to resurrect the abovementioned brand via the now defunct Los Angeles-based developer Danger Close. However, as rumours perpetuate that Dead Space studio Visceral Games is preparing a police-themed Battlefield spin-off in order to counter ex-employee Glen Schofields next-gen focused CoD sequel, its hard not to fire a wry smile in the Californian companys general direction, because it already has the ammunition to bring down Captain Price and crew its just missed the target entirely."

JPS Writes: "Survival horror is back and its never been more terrifying or twisted. Indie developer Red Barrels has reminded us that true terror still exists in video games with their game Outlast. And given recent horror releases such as Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3, Outlast comes as a much needed savior for the genre. Its dark, gritty, horrifying, intense and various other fear-inducing adjectives. Its a game with only a handful of mechanics, which only heighten the sense of helplessness, and an atmosphere that is second to none. And now PlayStation 4 owners are getting their first taste of terror (while PC players have known fear since this past September) as it has opened the doors to the asylum to a new audience."

CCC Says: "Ever since the survival horror genre first emerged onto the scene during the early 1980s, fans everywhere have been treated to a wide array of interesting titles from one console life cycle to the next. Notable franchises like Resident Evil and Dead Space started out promising, but quickly declined in both quality and context as the years went on. Luckily for us all, this trend may change in 2014 thanks to several high profile horror games that are being designed specifically to keep us all cringing at the edge of our seats. To illustrate this point further, I decided to create a list of 10 Survival Horror Games You Have To Play In 2014.
