Now I'm just a guy with a Notepad window open and no words in it, because the six or seven opening sentences I've tried for my latest piece have all been backspaced out again. You'd think that having done this more than 60 times before, I'd be able to come up with...something. Anything. As long as it doesn't sound horribly cheesy and actually leads in what I want to say, rather than force me away from it.
I could spring that lovely alliteration "Fatal Frame walks a fine line between fear and frustration" thing that spontaneously came to mind earlier this week but I don't want to open that way. I've tried the whole thing with how characters in horror movies and games always get themselves into trouble by going places they know they should stay away from, but yawn. Snore. I could start about how survival horror employs a feeling of vulnerability to scare you - in this case by arming you with only a camera - but not only does everybody already know about that genre staple, it's also something that has been done by other Fatal Frame reviews already.
This really shouldn't be this hard. I've played the game, I've formed my opinion, I know what I want to say. Damn me if I can figure out how to say it though.
EDIT: Whew. Done.
