Quantcast



Leave it to me to be all about seeing a fairly obscure title when I headed to this year's E3. One of the ones high on my list that fits this description was Ju-On: The Grudge, a game based on the Japanese horror film of the same name. Since it was described as a "haunted house simulator" rather than a straightforward horror game, I was especially curious to see how it played.

XSEED was kind enough to let me have a few moments of hands-on time with Ju-On today, but unfortunately by the time Dale North and I got around to doing the previews of the games we had seen, the bone-deep exhaustion of E3 had caught up with us. I didn't want to miss the chance to talk about what I had played though, so I decided to make a little video instead. I'm going to bed now.

I've come to realize, much to my detriment, that I will buy anything a woman tries to sell me while in bed.

The only thing hotter than a woman in bed, a woman in bed talking about video games. That Mexican is so lucky.

@Niero So violent. . . DO IT.

Also, I can't say I was expecting THE GRUDGE to be a good game. What a pleasant surprise.

I remember that feeling... being so incredibly tired but still excited because you're at E3. It's a constant struggle.
