One of my more eagerly anticipated indie horror games, P.A.M.E.L.A., released on Steam Early Access last week. I haven't had the chance to try it myself, so I was hoping someone here could share their first impressions of the game with the class? Is it deserving of the "overwhelmingly positive" consensus the Steam Majority has bestowed upon it, or is there enough room for improvement that it might be worth allowing it some extra time to simmer in Early Access?

I also wanted to get your feedback on something, and that's how you'd like us to tackle new Early Access releases. In the past, when we reviewed an Early Access title we gave it a yes/no recommendation rather than a traditional score, which we'd save for after it's "official" release. If that sounds good to you, then we won't change a thing. If it doesn't, feel free to let me know if there's any way that we can make our Early Access coverage more helpful to you.

Because this is all for you, my beloved basket of dreadfuls. You complete me.

Oh, and if P.A.M.E.L.A. has you in the mood for more sci-fi tales of terror, check out my list of several similarly themed games I think you should be excited about.[plentydreadful.com]

Mind if I ask a favor of you?

Let's say a brand new gaming website were to, say, attempt to create a definitive list of 100 horror games that every fan of the genre should play before they die - what are some games that you would expect to find on such a list?

And since I am as shameless as I am benevolent, this seems as good a time as any to gently remind you all to follow this soon-to-be-launched website on Twitter and on Facebook.[www.facebook.com] Once one of the two reaches 50 likes/followers, I'm going to give away some spoooooky Steam games.

Happy 2017, folks!

:)

I'm HUUUUUNGRRAAAAYYY...

... for your feedback. If you have something you'd like to see us do with Plenty Dreadful, when it launches - soon! - then I cordially invite you to either share it in the comments, or you can drop us an email at: plentydreadful@gmail.com

Don't forget to follow Plenty Dreadful on Twitter and on Facebook[www.facebook.com] - it's what all the cool people are doing, and you look like a cool cat. Plus, I'll have some video game giveaways on the first channel to reach 50 followers.

First, 50 followers, then the world!

Oh, and if you give me feedback, there's a chance I'll turn you into our 'Player of the Week', if you care about that.

DON'T DIE!!

We did it, 2016 is officially behind us. Surely, 2017 will be better to us, right? I certainly hope so. If it doesn't, then at the very least I hope the imminent launch of Plenty Dreadful will be a safe place for all. And regarding the year that's soon to be, I'd very much like to know which horror game(s) you're most anticipating from the new year. Here's some of what we can expect to arrive at some point in the near future - and please do let me know if I missed anything...

Hey, you. It's me, Adam. I know it's been a while since I was here last, and there's been a reason for that. Change is afoot. I don't know if you can feel it yet, but something wicked(-ly cool) is coming this way, and the timing really couldn't be better. Our world's becoming more and more divided, but I believe we can fix it using the healing power of video games.

Regular readers of the Bloody Disgusting[bloody-disgusting.com] video games content might've noticed my fairly sudden disappearance from the site back in August. There was a reason for my hiatus, and here's why.

In the not-too-distant future I'll be returning as the "Big Cheese" of a brand new video games-centric horror news and culture site that I affectionately refer to as Plenty Dreadful. This is just the latest addition to the Bloody Disgusting family, joined by Cinema Runner[www.cinemarunner.com], launched earlier this year and run by a ridiculously amazing man by the name of Jonathan Barkan.

The goal is to launch the site next month, and for the first few months, Plenty Dreadful will have a lot of what longtime readers of the site have come to expect from Bloody Disgusting's games coverage, including recurring series on horror, art, cosplay, and technology, in addition to the news coverage, reviews, interviews, previews, etc.

Over time, I'd like to transform Plenty Dreadful into more of a site for crowdsourced content with featured posts from you. This won't happen immediately after launch, but soon after the site goes live and we have all the kinks worked out.

I want you to help me mold this website into something that's unique and wholly our own. There may be many websites like it, but this one is ours.

Basically, what I'm saying is I’d very much like for you to be the Patrick Swayze to my Demi Moore and help me shape something beautiful out of this formless chunk of sexually charged clay we've been given.

I'll have more for you in the coming weeks. Until then, feel free to head on over to Twitter, where you can follow me (@ThatOtherAdam) and (@PlentyDreadful)

xoxo
Adam
