Super Joystiq Podcast 066: Amnesia A Machine for Pigs, Outlast, Silent Hill and horror games

This week's Super Joystiq Podcast ain't afraid a no ghosts.

After our Grand Theft Auto 5 blowout, it's back to the regular, multi-game format. This week, Ludwig, Susan, Richard, and Jess convene to talk about a whole slew of horror games, including the reviews of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Outlast, and Foul Play. Also on-tap for this overflowing horror train, discussion on The Evil Within, the Silent Hill series, game-themed haunted houses at Universal Studios, and more.
