In this edition of Gaming By Design, Colin and Richard are looking at fear in videogames. Discussing plenty of great examples of where games have scared them; how these shocking sections work and finally designing on their feet and talking about where this feature could go in the future. This weeks reading list to keep you entertained and informed is Eternal Darkness, Saw, System Shock 2 and even Animal Crossing -- however the real goal is to get you talking amongst yourselves about the mechanics that make videogames work.

Looking at as many videogame mechanics as we can get away with; we aim to output 7 podcasts in Season 1. We'll be focusing and discussing the mechanics that take games from the good to the sublime citing plenty of examples. Hopefully our musings will be entertaining and informative - but our real aim is to get you dissecting and talking amongst yourselves.
