I found the initial setting and first few minutes of Dementium: The Ward (NDS) to be deeply fucked up, but my unwillingness to deal with that nightmarish environment while riding the train to work forced me to put it down. Another horror-themed game is Touch the Dead, a budget rail shooter that uses the DS touch screen for precision aiming - just touch where you want the bullets to go. The catch is that you must reload manually by touching and dragging ammo into your gun, which sounds like what Darren is talking about on the iPhone. I wouldn't call Touch the Dead scary though, it's just kinda fun for what it is. Also, here's a winner for Nintendo of Japan: Nintendogeza, where you can use your DS to bow repeatedly and grovel before others for forgiveness. If you can remember which 80s cartoon had a robot named Grovel (which did just that whenever it was called), give yourself a pat on the back from me.
