When you first hear the name Black Mirror, you'll probably think of the Netflix show, but it's also the name of an adventure series that released on the PC between 2003 and 2011.

The 2016 reboot of the DOOM franchise was one of my favorite shooters in recent memory. As someone who grew up playing the classic DOOM games on an old Mac computer, it was great to see a modern revival that kept the fast-paced spirit of the franchise alive and well.

Multiplayer horror games have suddenly found new life on the PS4. While you wouldn't normally associate tense atmosphere and scares with the chaos of multiplayer, this new subgenre has proven that it can be done with the right formula.

Horror is a tough genre to tackle for games, because there’s a fine line between being genuinely scary, and being exhausting. A game that has a tense atmosphere and strong story can get away with jump scare if they’re timed correctly. On the other hand, a different type of horror game can become tedious and annoying if it’s always trying to scare you.

As a huge horror fan, I sometimes wonder why I enjoy having the daylights scared out of me. There are moments when horror games push me to the point where I have to step away and take a moment to recover. This is especially true in PlayStation VR when the horror is quite literally all around you.
