Horror Games--I will freely admit to being a coward.

I don't play horror games because I am a total wuss.  I know that if I try them I will be plagued by horrible nightmares and just general freakiness (like bolting awake in the middle of the night at the smallest sound).  I am, however, greatly intrigued by them.  Especially one that was just recently released "Alien:  Isolation."

As a fan of the "Alien" movies I could totally see myself playing this, except for a couple of things.  Firstly, as mentioned above, I am a fraidy cat.  Yup, I will cry myself to sleep if I try to play it.  Secondly, everyone knows that the "Alien" games are generally all full of suck.  However, this game looks really awesome.  My brother played it and said he really enjoyed it.  He did describe it as "pants-crappingly" scary.  I read a review and the reviewer stated that the game isn't so much about gore/violence as it is about anxiety.  Trying to move about the ship when you know the alien is watching you, accomplishing tasks knowing that thing is out there, ready to jump out of the shadows at you.

So I probably won't play it.  But it does look amazing.  Here's a trailer:
