18 New Video Games Coming In 2015 You Need To Know About

11. Until Dawn

Starring 'that girl from Heroes' Hayden Panettiere, Until Dawn is a fairly fresh take on the horror genre, filtering it through one of the most tried n' tested tropes in cinema history - the classic 'girl alone at home' scenario. The difference here is that although you'll be used to seeing this sort of thing passively play out on screen, there's something immediately intense when it's happening to you, and you're the one who has to react fast to get away from a house-invading intruder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eJ7TXVyz7M That concept alone is what sold the level in Heavy Rain where Madison had to confront a potential killer returning home, and although there's not been a whole lot revealed for this apart from a gameplay demo and many a shot of Hayden donning a towel and sprinting for her life, it's a classic set-up that might be worn through in film that still has bucket-loads of potential in gaming.
