Following Resident Evil 4 Remake, Fans Discuss Other Horror Games They Want To Return
Resident Evil 4 is getting a remake, there are leaks and rumours about Silent Hill getting the same treatment, while Dead Space's own revival is on the horizon. Classic horror games are back in full force, but fans are digging deeper into the forgotten gems that they want to see return.
