If you have never played one of the two games in the Obscure series, you missed one hell of a horror experience! Basically an adventure game, you had to fight

against strange monsters and hideous plants, using light as a weapon and a few teens as your allies. Both the original and the sequel were some great games, and it only seems natural that another sequel is in the works. Its name will be Obscure: The Aftermath and it already promises to be one of the greater survival horror games ever.

Of course such a game needs a decent promotion, so the developers Ignition Entertainment have joined forces with Red 40 Productions to create a series of live-action videos based on the game. Actually, the first one to be released will depict the opening scene from Obscure: The Aftermath. We'll see (and that really sounds familiar!) a bunch of teens enjoying a college party that is soon going to turn into a nightmare: a mysterious carnivorous plant with hallucinogenic effects transforms people into hideous monsters. So the fight for survival is set to begin!

"I am extremely excited to be a part of this unique production bringing the music, videogame and film industries together like never before," said Red 40 Productions owner and CEO Don Tyler. "The films take key story and gameplay elements from Obscure: The Aftermath mixed with a script and cinematic components to give people a real taste of the mind-bending horror awaiting game players."

The films were already shot at the old American Greetings Creative Studios building set, and they feature a cast of sexy, young men and women, including Matt Waldeck, who recently appeared in "The Young and the Restless." God! That "mini" series still exists?

Obscure: The Aftermath already seems to be looking great and it will be available for PC, PS2 and Wii and it is slated for a release on the 25th of March this year. So keep your eyes open, this will be one of the best game experiences you'll ever live!
