A video game adaptation of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, one of the most recognizable works of horror literature in contemporary history, is long overdue. In the game, you can either play a horrifying member of the Slaughter family or struggle to survive as one of their intended victims.

Number 9: Instinction
Instruction will feature a cast of ferocious dinosaurs rather than pit players against ghosts or zombies. Avoid them as you explore beautiful locales, crack puzzles, and learn a vast narrative.
