While everyone else in the room was bemoaning the presence of cockroaches in this chilling new trailer for Dementium: The Ward, this blogger was simply stunned by the music. The last thing we expected to hear was Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting" from the album of the same name, and yet it was strangely fitting despite the lack of singer Johnette Napolitano's amazing vocals. It's quite a slick little trailer; while light on the gameplay footage (which is okay! we've seen it), the video is heavy on mood, and we think it will definitely get you excited about spending time in The Ward.And we ain't lying when we tell you that it's a pretty creepy trailer -- definitely a step up on the perversity scale for DS games. See for yourself after the break.
1. Just how much of a captious malcontent does someone have to be to find a quarter-second clip of a skittering cockroach off-putting enough to be immediately blinded to the overwhelming amount of awesome material in that trailer?
If there end up being actual cockroaches in the game, I can guarantee here and now that they will be the BEST video game cockroaches since Animal Crossing.
