I hope you’re ready for even more undead goodness, because the sixth batch of Steam Greenlight games were revealed today, and it includes not one, but two zombie games. The first is one we’ve covered before — the turn-based RPG Dead State — and the other is Dead Trigger. The latter is a shooter that… Read More
Capcom may be working on bringing the original Resident Evil trilogy to PC, though it may be down the road a ways. On the company’s Unity forum, Capcom USA senior VP Christian Svensson said “We have been trying to get [Capcom Japan] to let us update [Resident Evil 1-3] to run on Win 7/8 and… Read More
Thought that first survival guide was all you would need to survive in thee post-apocalyptic wasteland of Metro Last Light? That was only the beginning, there’s still so much more left to learn before you’re truly ready. The second entry in Last Light’s Ranger Survival Guide shifts the focus to the enemies that inhabit this… Read More
Were you funny enough to win an iPad? Doubtful. Sadly most of you couldn’t even make me crack a smile. “Don’t feed the dead.” That’s all you got?! If you want an iPad you gotta work for it! Well, I did pick a winner. One of the only ones who made me literally laugh out… Read More
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Big Robot’s “Tweedpunk robo-horror” game Sir, You Are Being Hunted is available for pre-order. If you have $20 and a desire to be hunted through a procedurally generated environment by dapper robots, you can get it here. If you do decide to lay down the cash, pre-ordering it will grant… Read More
I like to fancy myself an enthusiast of the horror genre. I’m experienced, desensitized, some might say. For some reason, all that experience goes out the window when I play a game like Slender: The Arrival — the “reimagining” of Mark Hadley’s The Eight Pages, which you probably remember taking the Internet by storm last… Read More
It’s all conjecture, but judging by the images Climax Studios — the dev behind Silent Hill: Origins and Shattered Memories — has been trickling out via their Facebook page, it looks like their next game may be of the horror persuasion… and maybe set in a dollhouse. I can see it, dollhouses are creepy. Now,… Read More
Purchasing items in video games is rarely easy. There’s usually multiple in-game currencies to deal with, crazy expensive items, inventory/weight management, comparing the stats on that dagger you have equipped with the shiny new one, the burning question of whether you should sell that mysterious new item now or save it for later… it can… Read More
Halloween is still so very far away, but that’s not going to keep me from craving the warm glow of jack o’ lanterns, the excitement of going to a new haunted house, and that amazing crisp autumn air. Michael Dougherty’s horror anthology Trick ‘r Treat is, in my humble opinion, the best movie to watch… Read More
Let’s talk about NERDCORE. Nerdcore is rap, but it’s all about the geeky stuff. Think mc chris. I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of rap, nerdcore or otherwise, but this is an Alan Wake rap, so it has to be amazing, right? It most definitely does. This rap is brought to us by Youtuber… Read More
The achievements for Dead Island Riptide have been made available online. Nothing outside the norm here, just your average collection of “kill x amount of enemies,” “reach level x,” and “find x amount of collectibles.” Some are a little more intriguing — I’d very much like to know who these mysterious twins are. Check out… Read More
If you haven’t played it yet, Anna is a very strange indie horror game. It’s like a weird dream that often borders on the nightmarish. If that sounds like your bag, you can grab the extended edition — complete with new environments, puzzles, music, and improved visuals — available now on Steam. At $9.99, it’s… Read More
Matt Cohen has taken to Kickstarter in search of funds to help complete the development of the first expansion for his indie horror game, dubbed Paranormal: The Town. It takes the randomized horror out of the house and into a small town, which according to the feature list has been inspired by Silent Hill. “If… Read More
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said something in a recent interview with X360 magazine that I found very interesting. According to Yerli, visuals are the most important part of a game, or at least his studio’s games. They make up 60% of it, if you’d like to get specific. Yerli told X360 “The better the graphics,… Read More
I’ve been a horror fan for most of my life. When my friends were doing whatever it is kids do outside, I was in my room exploring the foggy streets of Silent Hill, or being mercilessly picked on by SHODAN. The atmosphere, monsters, music — I instantly fell in love with it all. Over the… Read More
I’ve known for some time now that little girls, or children in general, are terrifying creatures that simply aren’t to be trusted. It’s their soulless, beady eyes that gives them away. One look into those button sized black holes and you just know that an evil lurks on the other side. Artist Liran has done… Read More
If you’ve ever had to work late at the office, alone, with coffee that refuses to exit the mug, then you’re almost definitely going to love One Late Night. Seriously, this might be the best thing you’ve ever watched, because it literally has all of that. What else does it have? How about keys in… Read More
Boredom Bytes is back, bitches! That was inappropriate, I apologize. It’s just that I get easily excited, and sharing awesome Internet videos with all of you makes me excited, then on top of that I’ve had like, a lot of Mountain Dew. Too much, probably. Is two two liters too much? WebMD probably has the… Read More
Undead Labs has been hard at work on a very ambitious post-apocalyptic zombie game called State of Decay. We’ve covered it before, but in case you’re familiar with the title, all you really need to know is it aims to do the zombie genre right. It has hordes of the undead, deep character customization, resource… Read More
The Souls series has what you would call, quite the reputation. No, it isn’t a game that sells Call Of Duty numbers, or blows us out of the water with earth shattering graphics and game play. (No, I’m not saying either of those are bad) The series is known for being brutal, and relentless. In… Read More
It’s getting to the point in time I think where I need to pick up Call Of Duty: Black Ops II. Not so much for anything besides zombies mode. Though I do enjoy the multiplayer. In the new zombies map Mob Of The Dead, you will find yourselves playing Hollywood mobster superstars Billy Handsome (Ray… Read More

Thanks to Lonnie for the heads up on this. Coming May 1st as a standalone downloadable game is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. From the video it seems it doesn’t actually have anything to do with Far Cry 3, though there could be some nods later in the game. The guys over at IGN got… Read More
