    Those who played Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly on the PS2 know that it's a great psychological creep-fest, and now the game has arrived for the Xbox bigger, badder, and more beautiful.

    A chilling adventure that makes your skin crawl. The new FPS mode is simply great and makes playing the game much more effortless. [Mar. 05]

    This game was a little easy, but it scared the crap out of me, and that is what I wanted. Best horror game ever.

When I first started this game, I could only play for like 15 min at a time (mind you, I was playing late at night) because I was so uncomfortable and nervous. great for scares, but not exactly a fun game… Expand
