DPM July: Sexy Gamer Peripherals, Saw II Hands-On Impressions, Limbo Review, & More!
It’s that time of the month again, as a new month begins we take a quick glance back at the previous month’s offerings. July was, as it usually is, light on new releases but fairly heavy on news (thanks to Comic Con).
Inside you’ll find some thoughts from TJ, our impressions on the upcoming Saw 2: Flesh and Blood (it’s looking like more gory fun!), a few reviews, and what we think of the QPad 5K gaming mouse and GameCom headset. So if you think you might’ve missed something (maybe you were outside doing whatever people do outside in the summer?) you should definitely get caught up.
TJ here. I find myself running out of things to blah about. So this month I will take a trip back in time to when the Nintendo Wii came out. Let’s talk graphics. They’re just not up to Playstation 3 Xbox 360 standards. Why? I get it, they wanted to spice it up with the Wiimote and the Nunchuck, but what about the graphics? My fear now for Nintendo is that they now will always be behind the Playstation and Xbox. As they progress to the next level, will the next Nintendo System only have PS3 and 360 graphics? I guess only time will tell. Step it up, Nintendo.
Adam, back to you.
Overall, July was light on just about everything, but that can be blamed on the coming holiday season (starts September!) so July and August can be considered the calm before the storm. You better finish your backlog of games (mine includes Red Dead Redemption, Singularity, and a little Transformers action) before the big titles start hitting shelves.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
