There was a time when I personally believed that Resident Evil 4 never needed a remake. The original game that was released in 2005 has held up fantastically over the years and become such an influence on third-person action and horror games. Hell, we’re still seeing that influence in the series today as the exceptional […]

I’m going to come clean and admit that Dead Cells missed my radar entirely when it first released back in 2018. The “MetroidVania” style roguelike challenges players with zipping through an ever changing environment while progressively growing stronger with each run, facing challenging bosses along the way. Where Dead Cells stands out from the crowd […]

Warning: This article includes Scream VI spoilers. I love going to the theater. I mean, who doesn’t? The chance to see a great horror movie up on the biggest screen possible is one of the simplest pleasures in life. And now there’s a bevy of options to see your movie in such as RealD 3D, […]

It’s hard to talk about the fourth entry in the long running Fatal Frame franchise in anything but a retrospective manner. Mask of the Lunar Eclipse was originally released for the Nintendo Wii nearly 15 years ago and was a collaboration between series creator Makoto Shibata and director/writer Goichi “Suda51” Suda (of No More Heroes […]

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Infinity Pool. Media criticizing the upper class is about a dime a dozen these days, truth be told. From Best Picture nominee Triangle of Sadness and the popular Netflix original Glass Onion, to HBO’s fascinating series The White Lotus, there’s no shortage of media criticizing those who have too much […]

We’ve come a long way in the Resident Evil series. After begging for years for a remake of Resident Evil 2, we finally got one and it was such a resounding success that Capcom gave its sister game Resident Evil 3 the same treatment. Now comes a full remake of quite possibly the most seminal […]

Atomic Heart from developer Mundfish is quite the conundrum in the way that I kept asking myself, “how did this go so wrong?” Announced all the way back in 2017, the game has had a long development cycle fueled by player hype and expectation over what the game actually was or what it was going […]

Have you ever experienced a melting pot of design choices so unique that you can’t help but love the final result despite some glaring flaws? That’s how I felt while playing Wanted: Dead. The new game from development studio Soleil Ltd. is being described as a “love letter to the sixth generation of consoles” and […]

The slasher film. Across several decades, one of the most dominating sub-genres in the entire horror sphere. From the beginning days of the formative slashers in the 1970s, all the way to today’s reboots, sequels, and fresh originals. From classic icons such as Michael Myers to modern killers like Mia Goth’s Pearl. The slasher truly […]

Back in 2008 when the original Dead Space was released, players were almost immediately enamored with its action-inspired gameplay, space horror setting, and next-generation technology that elevated the experience to a level never seen before. It’s a game whose legacy lives on and has yet to be replicated properly even by its own sequels that […]

2022 was a great year for gaming, all things considered. From seeing Supermassive finally break away from their Dark Pictures Anthology with The Quarry, to Resident Evil: Village finally delivering on its DLC promise, to the long-awaited Dead Space successor The Callisto Protocol finally being released, horror in particular had a pretty eventful year. 2023 […]

Mortal Kombat just celebrated its 30th anniversary this past October and it got me thinking. Not about where the franchise can go from here, or who the top tier character is in Mortal Kombat 11 (it’s Cetrion, thank me later). No, instead the anniversary got me thinking about one of the more controversial aspects of […]

In 1996, Japanese gaming company Capcom set the gaming industry on fire with the release of Resident Evil and in turn gave birth to the survival horror genre in gaming. In 2002 they released a highly regarded remake, and in 2005 they rewrote the survival horror genre they invented with the action focused Resident Evil […]

You know what rules? Vampires. You know what else rules? Westerns. Both of them are surprisingly under-utilized in games. Sure you have stuff like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines or Red Dead Redemption but you never see Vampires or Cowboys pop up in games too often. Let alone together. Until now. Enter Evil West, the […]

I have a massive love/hate relationship with the Dying Light franchise. I’m intrigued by the concept of a safe-day, dangerous-night zombie game where the focus is to survive using what you find and how you traverse the world. I also respect the amount of support the games receive (the first Dying Light received support all […]
