Amnesia killed the horror genre

[ChrisR91]

I get sick and tired of people saying how scary Alan Wake, or Dead Space (I hear it from my girlfriend so much that it annoys the hell out of me). Both fun games with great atmosphere, just one problem. Your character is just as powerful as say any iconic movie horror villain. What Amnesia did perfectly is having you like a main character from a horror movie who must overcome all the horrors while living through the pain that can't be undone.
