The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the latest in the playable horror movie genre from Supermassive Games. So far we’ve had a haunted diving trip, witch-hunting in ye olde Salem, and now we’ve got military monster mayhem.

The game is set in the dying embers of the Iraq War in 2003, and our heroes are a bunch of American Special Forces looking for weapons of mass destruction. They find them, sort of, when they’re trapped underground in a Sumerian temple full of monstrous creatures. The group is separated, and in our hands-on, the action swapped between the different collections of characters, like the couple with a history - Rachel and Eric - to Allied Forces soldier Salim. Horror fans will feel familiar with the territory, it feels very The Descent meets The Excorcist, you'll even find a statue of Pazuzu hidden as a little Easter Egg.
