Although the Kinect’s triumphant march to date has been relying mostly on 3D modeling hacks and dancing games, someone was bound to throw the hardcore a bone one of these days, right? Well, it turns out they did, about a year ago, in the form of the announcement of a survival horror game called Rise of Nightmares published by Sega. That’s all we knew about it until it recently got the ESRB treatment.
“This is a horror-adventure game in which players assume the role of an American tourist who must rescue his wife from a deranged scientist,” is how the ESRB sums it up. It’s not hard to see how this could easily turn into fun with “zombie-like creatures and disfigured monsters inside a mansion environment”.
