SAW II Slices Into Retail

Jigsaw and his deadly traps return in Konami's brutal horror/action/trap simulation game, SAW II. Definitely not for the weak-stomached gamer, this sequel has improved graphics and combat, a ton of new traps and is spread over even larger environments than the first game. Not a huge fan of the movies myself, but I liked the first's game a lot thanks to some devious puzzles and a mix of adventure game elements twisted on their ears. This one should be twice as gory and even more devious.

Dark and gritty screens below the jump - more to come in an update shortly.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare DLC Screens/Trailer

Rockstar's Western mega-hit gets some truly chilling (and awesomely gory) new content later this year with the Undead Nightmare DLC pack for the PS3 and Xbox 360. here's a look at the trailer plus game poster art and two of the slightly gorier screen shots not in my hands-on preview. Played a tiny bit at this year's New York Comic Con and yup, it's most likely going to be the best ten bucks (or 800 Microsoft Points) you'll spend on an expansion pack this year. Expect five or so hours of single player content and an as yet to be revealed multiplayer mode. More on the game on the normal DAF blog - click below, enjoy the trailer and keep an eye peeled (har har) for more on the game shortly.

Gallery Update V: Splatterhouse

And here we go again... more bloody Splatterhouse goodness courtesy of Namco Bandai. My, my, my... the blood does fly in these shots, doesn't it?

Gallery: Knights Contract (Ultra-Violence Screens)

Namco Bandai's upcoming addition to the spate of hyper-violent God of War-influenced games has some truly bizarre-looking monsters and a nicely stylized look to it that I like quite a lot. It's also one pretty gore-packed hack-up, as you'll see in these screens not quite ready for the regular DAF blog (thanks, ESRB and your silly restrictions!). With a 2011 release date, here's hoping the game gets enough polish and press to become a hit in its own right. GO, Game Republic!
