Insufferably verbose video game reviewer for Bloody Disgusting, with additional bylines at Flickering Myth, Newsweek, Metro and WhatCulture. This is the most concise thing I will ever write. Letterboxd https://boxd.it/469M3https://bsky.app/profile/harrisonabbott.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/harrisonabbott.bsky.social/post/3mhix7lnjfc2eProject Songbird has some faults in the gameplay department, and yet I find it difficult to get hung up on those when parts of this semi-autobiographical horror title resonated with me on such a deeply personal level.

To be clear, that is not meant as a dig, but rather as an affectionate endorsement.

Among other things, we covered the game’s graphic content, how it was too much for some colleagues, his interactions with the ESRB, and the awkwardness of working on raunchy scenes https://bloody-disgusting.com/exclusives/3930912/hellraiser-revival-developers-aim-to-deliver-authentic-clive-barker-experience-beyond-limits-exclusive-interview/30 Jan 2026 23:05 +0000at://did:plc:nzvx7o7mplc5rmf4e7to6bxs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdog3yoeus2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/harrisonabbott.bsky.social/post/3mcsdfafixs2hWith a cinematic adapatation just around the corner, I took a deep dive into Silent Hill 2 for @bloody-disgusting.com, looking at how ahead of its time it was, the way it uses the unique language of video games to tell its story, and what makes it so special https://bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3928669/that-special-place-that-makes-silent-hill-2-so-special-itself/19 Jan 2026 19:02 +0000at://did:plc:nzvx7o7mplc5rmf4e7to6bxs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcsdfafixs2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/harrisonabbott.bsky.social/post/3mbrptg5bzs232026 is looking to be another stellar year for horror gaming. Among other things, we’ve got macabre animal hybrids, legendary slasher icons, dino madness, and the return of a genre juggernaut.

The pitch perfect score by @seagreenmusic.bsky.social really made this 100+ years old film feel modern and dynamic again. Got distinct John Carpenter vibes (and I mean that as a high compliment)16 Oct 2025 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:nzvx7o7mplc5rmf4e7to6bxs/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dnhpcx5c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/harrisonabbott.bsky.social/post/3lzgz6er42k2wLike RE:7, Silent Hill f feels authentic to its roots but also completely fresh & exciting. It captures the essence of the series without getting bogged down in the past and has become one of my favouritie entires as a result.

What they fail to mention, however, is that this is really just a (well made) Predator clone.
