Survival horror FPS, Dementium: The Ward, received an official release date today of ... (cue up haunting music) Halloween. That's Oct. 31 in case you just can't be bothered to remember. The Gamecock published Dementium is a little independent title by Renegade Kid which impressed us at E3 because of its intuitive design and solid feel. Granted, it's on the Nintendo DS, so we don't have many survival horror FPS' to compare it to, but it was fun and almost made us miss our next appointment.
Dementium: The Ward is a mature rated game and uses the leeway that rating gives it. We're definitely looking forward to more DS titles from Renegade Kid. They seem to know what they're doing, getting Dementium together in about a year from scratch. With any luck, gamers will find Dementium and we can see more solid off-the-beaten-path DS titles from the company.

Man! And for a second there I though you were a Matrix maintenance program with an error!
"What? We never calibrated Halloween to be a religious holiday. There must be a ghost in the machine." (Which would be an odd comment, coming from a sentient computer program.)

Yeah the game looks really good and has a great atmosphere. It took forever but this fall seems to be when DS finally gets good FPS support. Looks like Zelda won't be the only game i'm getting this fall for ds

Looks like a change up as far as Nintendo games go.

Halloween not a religious celebration? Errr...where do you think it started? I take it you've never met a pagan or a Wiccan then.

it's not really celebrated as a religious holiday, commonly anyway, technically Christmas and easter are pagan holidays as well, technically the holy cross originated as a pagan representation of the zodiac, it's amusing really were some things in the bible originated, it's funny really when compared it becomes obvious the bible was highly based of the zodiac and the Egyptian book of the dead, for instance the book of the dead tells the story of Horus who was born of a virgin mother on December 25th signaled by a star to the east, was baptized at the age of 30 had 12 disciples was crucified and resurrected 3 days later, and this story dates back as far as 3000 B.C.
