GameInformer News Everyone has different fears, which means different players have a different definition of the scariest game they've ever played. What's yours?
We actually detailed some of our own last year in a feature about the scariest moment we've ever encountered. For me, Silent Hill 2 is still probably the scariest game I've ever played. I definitely respond to psychological horror more than jump scares and monsters – even though Silent Hill does have its fair share of those.
What about yours? What would you consider to be the scariest game you've ever played?

GameInformer News An image has been making the rounds on the Internet this morning featuring possibly every SNES character sprite uncomfortably jammed into a single image.
It's an impressive game of Where's Waldo for video games characters. If you can think of it, it's probably in this image somewhere. I'm a little scared to zoom in and start looking, but feel free to do so yourself. You can find a larger version of the image here, or by clicking the image above..

GameInformer News Bungie's latest patch may have removed Destiny's hallowed "treasure cave," but tenacious players have already found a new location to farm engrams. Are these types of farming exploits really a bad thing for games?
I haven't taken advantage of any of Destiny's "treasure caves" (which, on a side note, sounds like a really inappropriate euphemism), but that doesn't mean I'm necessarily against the practice; sometimes finding an exploit in a game (especially grind-heavy ones like Destiny) can be extremely rewarding, even if they aren't condoned by the developer. In fact, I may have opened several ill-gotten Horadric Caches in Diablo III that were sent to me by an unscrupulous coworker without a tinge of guilt. So my first inclination would be that Bungie should let gamers play the way they want to, and instead focus their energy on tweaking other aspects of the game like loot drops (which thankfully they appear to be doing).

GameInformer News Blizzard's free-to-play collectible card game may have over 20 million players, but a Chinese online retailer is giving gamers a real-life (and totally illegal) alternative.
Games In Asia's Thomas Price has a full breakdown of the boxed set, which includes two sets of every class-specific card and four copies of every basic and legendary card. The game also comes with a variety of tokens to designate status effects, and counters to keep track of minions' changing health and attack stats. It probably goes without saying, but the physical adaptation is not officially licensed or endorsed by Blizzard.
Price says that while the physical card game is relatively faithful to the digital game (despite obviously missing changes made by Blizzard's continual patches for balancing), aspects of it are slower, awkward, and more tedious – not surprising since Hearthstone was built from the ground up to be digital. If paying roughly $50 for a counterfeit version of a free-to-play game isn't enough to stop you from importing a copy, there's also the fact that all of the writing is in Chinese. It is interesting to see what a physical adaptation of Hearthstone might look like, however, even if the digital version is still the way to go. Check out more photos and impressions at the link the below.
