Some movie music will keep on giving you the chills, long after the credits rolling. The haunting piano riff from John Carpenter's classic horror movie Halloween makes it one of those tunes. But, when it's a bunch of video game car horns bleating it out? It's actually kind of funny.

This teaser trailer for Slasher Vol. 1: Summer Camp isn't much to go off, but the concept -- a third-person survival game inspired by '80s slasher films -- is strong enough that I'm listening.

In this first game, you'll play as a teenage camp counselor alongside other players trying to survive until dawn (as if that means you're truly safe) -- or the killer. That could be good! Or not! I don't recall there being many attempts to recreate the movie genre in videogames.

Breach & Clear developer Gun Media is on point for Summer Camp but the studio is working with special effects legend Tom Savini and Friday the 13th composer Harry Manfredini. Can't say I have high expectations for the game, but we'll see. Hope it's decent.

Internet speeds in America are pathetic, which you probably already knew if you...live in America. A new piece in The New York Times report makes that more clear.

Watching a movie is like playing roulette: we have no idea which ending we'll be seeing. Will it be the original, or another version inspired by a failed test screening, or "creative differences"? Sometimes the change is for the better; sometimes not. Here, we rank 13 alternate horror film endings from worst to best.

Size Five Games, previously known as Zombie Cow Studios (the studio behind the twin-stick edutainment STD shooter Privates and point-and-click adventure titles such as Time Gentleman, Please!), has released the debut trailer for its upcoming stealth-action game The Swindle.

Described as a "Steampunk Cybercrime Caper," Size Five's Dan Marshall says he likes to think of The Swindle as "a stealth game for the rest of us." The developer elaborates by adding:

"I suck at stealth games, I have neither the patience nor the disposition to creep slowly behind someone hoping they don’t turn around on an AI's whim. The Swindle is my answer to that – it's in your interest to remain undetected as long as possible on a heist, but being discovered and setting all the alarm bells ringing feels more like an inevitability than a fail state. At that point, the game switches from being a sneaky-sneaky stealth game to an all-out-action race against the clock."

The gameplay hook centers around sneaking undetected into procedurally generated buildings, hacking their systems to drain them of funds and then making a daring escape with all the loot. Your ill-gotten gains can then be used to upgrade your character to take on even bigger and more dangerous jobs.

Marshall's experience with the genre squares fairly well with my own. While I don't dislike stealth-based games, it's encouraging to see the developer acknowledge that the genre isn't a good fit for everybody, and is actively working to strike a balance between stealth and action that will hopefully keep impatient people like me invested in their game.

The Swindle will be going into closed beta in a few months, so, if this is something you'd be interested in taking part in, you're invited to follow @danthat on Twitter for more details.
