10 Video Games Designed To Totally Screw With You

5. Black & White 2 Whispers Your Name

Did you hear that? Or did you imagine it? Did Black & White 2 really just whisper your name? Yep. It probably did.

Black & White 2 will totally haunt your dreams by whispering your name like it’s your creepy conscience keeping watch on you.
