I have noticed something with my recent playing-through of Darksiders; the spider theme in videos games is very abundant. I am curious to know the extent and reasons for this apparent pattern.
First of all do you think spiders as a theme for an area/dungeon, as well as enemies and bosses is a common theme in gaming? Is it limited to a certain genre of game?
Secondly, do you think the spider theme is a good one to consistently apply to gaming? Or is it starting to wear out its interest.
Lastly, why do you suppose the theme keeps popping up? Is it just a general societal fear of spiders? Or is there something more about them?
