Yesterday I started playing Severed - the first (and only) DLC for Dead Space 2. Those who read my reviews, or talk to me on the Everything Survival Horror union, know that Dead Space 2 is one of my favorite new IPs in recent years; and yet, after playing for exactly 15 minutes (5 of which were to memorize myself with the controls again) I turned off my Xbox 360 and haven't touched it again since.

I don't know why, but the prospect of dark environments, creepy sound ques and gross alien monsters just doesn't appeal to me right now... In other words - I don't feel like playing horror games.

This is kind of a big deal, since usually all I play are horror games, or at least some sort of gory action title. But lately I feel more like action-rpg titles or a thrilling action-adventure game. I mean, I did spend the last few days playing Dead Island, but that's not really horror (walking down bright sunny beaches with a co-op friend isn't really frightening).

I haven't played a horror title for a while now, and for some reason I don't really miss it... most of the games I'm looking forward are action oriented and I can't help but feel there is something wrong with me.

By the way, this situation doesn't apply to movies. All I've been watching are horror/sci-fi movies (I Saw the Devil is pretty good, you should watch it) and I'm constantly looking for more of them to watch.

Anyways, just thought I'd share it... What type of games are you craving right know?

P.S: Deus Ex: Human Revolution is great, go play it.
