Yes, Dementium: The Ward is shipping for the Nintendo DS on October 31. If you haven’t been paying attention, Dementium is this seemingly very gory, very fluid, and very nice survival horror/FPS where you must escape a decrepit hospital while solving puzzles and shooting zombies.
Escaping decrepit hospitals has always been one of my life goals.

To many, the impending release date may be good news. After all, it’s always nice to hear when a game is shipping, and said date is reasonably close. But when release dates coincide, things start to get a little nasty.

If all you’ve seen of Dementium: The Ward is pictures, then you haven’t seen it. I’ve embedded its new trailer below, so do take the time to watch. It’s not your average ad trailer, mind you. The video gives us a peek at the seemingly-deliberate pace of this FPS/survival horror game.

I don’t know about you, but seeing this trailer convinces me that I should buy this game.

Finally, another FPS is coming to the DS. The little handheld that could is set to come out with Dementium: The Ward. According to the press release, Dementium combines FPS action, adventure, and survival horror.

They had me at FPS action. W00t! No really, no sarcasm there. Surprised?

A lot of things are going for the new game. For one, Dementium isn’t going to be on rails. The last time I played anything of the sort, I’ve had nightmares for a month. Ever heard of Touch the Dead? If you haven’t, good for you. Keep it that way.
