Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

I was talking to my wife about the effect we have on our enjoyment. When I play Doom 3 on my PC, I damn near crap myself for the first 20 minutes I play. Luckily for my wife the laundry-lady, the scare effect of the 10th "monster closet" wears off after 20 minutes of gameplay.
I wonder: if we played Doom 3 together, would we experience the same fright level I do, or would we steel ourselves with each other's presence? Would we cling together in fear or would we heckle the second monster closet as a cheap and easy shot?
Or are scary games best played alone?
