List of horror video games

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Video game genres are based upon their gameplay element, not narrative or thematic setting. While survival horror is a genre, this list mentions every game that has the slightest hint of horror to it, like puzzle-platformer Catherine, action role-playing game Darksiders, the first-person shooters Aliens: Colonial Marines, The Darkness and Wolfenstein: The New Order.

 * Keep. The article is a bit of a mess, but I can source it.  I don't really like the idea of retitling it, as there's ample support for lists of horror games:  from GamesRadar,  from Kotaku,  from Rock Paper Shotgun,  from PC Gamer, and  from Game Informer.  I'm sure there are more, too.  If that's not enough, I'll go digging for more. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:46, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I added a bunch of sources to the article. I just realized that there's going to be lots of articles at Bloody Disgusting, too.  That would be a good source to check before removing entries. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
