Some of the games in this collection are really good, others are bad. But it is a really great and partially very scary experience.

The Dread X Collection is an extremely innovative concept, marred by the fact that it's the first collection, and therefore doesn't quite know what it's doing just yet. 10 short horror experiences, all made with extremely tight deadlines, ranging from tiresome and uninspired to unsettlingly beautiful. Thus becomes an issue with ranking the Dread X Collections, as how do you rate a game that is in itself a collection of smaller original games, with nothing else to it? With the varying quality of some of the titles within, it would be more sensible to rate each one individually, but since I can't do that here I've decided to try to give the entire thing a rating I think it deserves, while stating that the price is worth it for just some of these games, such as Outsiders, Summer Night, and especially Shatter.
