Video: Mystery Steam Reviews, but scary because Resident Evil has given birthStay together for the kids
Stay together for the kids
Let’s just pretend that Halloween is this weekend and we were very timely when choosing the theme for this week’s Mystery Steam Reviews, okay?
Okay…
GHOSTS! GOBLINS! SCARY THINGS! Yes, because it’s that time of the year again, we decided to test each other’s horror game knowledge (via Steam reviews) on this week’s episode ofThe PC Gaming Weekspot.
So, I know I said we’d be doing games set in Britain, but one quick look at the calendar changed that. How could we not focus on all things spooky at this time of year? And, yes, I know there is a lifeline that reveals the genre, so we’ve altered that a little for this episode. Next week, wewillbe choosing games that are set in Britain. Equally as scary, some could argue.

MYSTERY STEAM REVIEWS RULE BIBLE™
For those not in the know, or who need a refresher.
Colm and Matthew both bringthreeSteam reviews to the MSR arena (yes, arena), but they omit the name of the game each review is for. Their opponent must correctly guess the name of that game, including any numbers or subtitles. However, there is some leeway for things such as “Complete Edition” or “Definitive Edition.” One correct answer = one point.
While both combatants have90 secondson each Mystery Steam Review, they also have help in the form of three lifelines. These can be used at any stage during battle, and pause the 90-second timer. Each lifeline can only be used once.
Questionallows whoever is in the hot seat to ask a simple yes or no question, as long as the question isn’t, “is the name of the game [insert name of the game here]?". WhenSecond Opinionis used, the man in the warm chair will get to hear a second Steam review of the same game. And whenGenreis activated, the genre of the game is revealed to the man with the fiery arse.
