Dementium: The Ward Review

By Chris Hudak

The Beginning of the End

The End really is coming. Just in these last two weeks, we’ve seen not one but two immersive horror games appear for the tiny screens of handheld video game systems. One is Silent Hill: Origins. The other is Gamecock’s gutsy, ambitious Dementium: The Ward. With signs like…

  • True FPS horror...on the tiny DS screen!
  • Eerie visuals/audio presentation
  • Smooth, responsive action
  • Clever details
  • Annoying save scheme
  • Repetitive respawns
  • God, my wrist!
