If you consider yourself a fan of the bean bag — a bean bag connoisseur, if you will — you’ve probably heard of Sumo. A couple years back I reviewed the Sumo Gigantor and the Sumo Sway (spoiler: I loved them) and because Sumo’s elite team of Comfort Scientists aren’t content to simply craft affordable… Read More
Before we get into the nitty gritty, and this game has gritty in spades, there’s something you should know: I’ve never actually played a Hitman game. I’ve watched a friend play through about twenty minutes of Blood Money, then we both got bored and switched to Resident Evil 4. That’s my experience with this series…. Read More
Back at E3 2011, Ubisoft introduced Killer Freaks From Outer Space, a sci-fi/horror first-person shooter made exclusively for Nintendo’s recently announced Wii U. The trailer’s over-the-top sense of humor raised some eyebrows and then… it fell off the radar. There wasn’t a peep for months until Ubisoft unveiled ZombiU at this year’s convention, a completely… Read More
The Walking Dead is over. The finale to Telltale’s brutal and often emotional take on the popular series is out, and after beating it, all I can really say is… damn. Everything comes to a head here –- friends will die, lessons will be learned, and even though this is the shortest episode in the… Read More
Lately, I’ve found myself more excited for a new episode in Telltale Games’ episodic game based on The Walking Dead than I am for most other games. I love a good story, especially when something like that is still so hard to come by in video games. After the intense and emotional roller coaster ride… Read More
Every so often a game comes along that is truly unforgettable. We’re adrift in a sea of sequels, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a new experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good sequel, and I’m very much looking forward to games like Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed III, and Far Cry… Read More
The wait is finally over. What has already been a stellar year for horror fans is about to get even better with the long awaited Resident Evil 6. Capcom’s “throw everything and see what sticks” approach has resulted in four different campaigns that practically feel like their own games, the return of the highly addictive… Read More
The first Torchlight was a fantastic game. It had a vibrant and colorful world that mixed fantasy and steampunk, but because of its many similarities to Diablo, many saw it as a dungeon crawler to keep them busy until Diablo III released. With Torchlight II, Runic Games has decided to up their game. Find out… Read More
Steam just unveiled its majestic and wonderful Big Picture Mode. I was using it lying in bed and scrolling around the fantastic streamlined dashboard on my tv also with an Xbox 360 controller. I decided to splurge and buy myself a game to try with my new set up. To The Moon had previously caught… Read More
The third episode in Telltale Games’ post-apocalyptic roller coaster ride The Walking Dead is out now, and wow, is it a doozy. The first episode, A New Day, introduced us to the game’s (mostly) likable cast of characters, then Episode 2 – Starved for Help took everything into an unexpectedly disturbing direction. Now it’s Episode… Read More
If you’re like me, then your nights are undoubtedly plagued by bloody fantasies that have you riding a ghostly horse into the field of battle, where demons and angels are warring over whatever it is the two sides can’t seem to agree upon. Just as you force your way into the frenzy, you whip out… Read More
This game has had a troubled past. It was originally planned as an installment in the True Crime series, then Activision dropped it because they couldn’t see it being successful enough to compete with the other sandbox action games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row. Square Enix was quick to pick it up and… Read More
It’s not every day that we get a brand spanking new horror title on XBLA, and it’s even rarer still that the game ends up being good. Remember Amy? Yeah. We sure do. Deadlight promises to whisk us away from the barren desert that was the month of July and ever so delicately drop us… Read More
Skyrim recently got its first expansion, adding new areas to explore, companions to chill with, enemies to slay and weapons with which to mow them down. It has some horror themes to it, as it expands on the vampire mythology a bit and offers you the chance to assume the role of a Vampire Lord… Read More
In Episode 1, we were introduced to The Walking Dead’s tired cast of survivors. We got to know them, befriend them, and depending on the choices you made, you probably made a few enemies along the way. Tough decisions were made, people died–sometimes by the decisions you were forced to make–and by the end, some… Read More
Having never really played a Ghost Recon game, I wasn’t entirely sure of what I should expect from Future Soldier. I knew there would be a lot of shooting, some military lingo I’d have no chance of understanding, and probably a few terrorists. What I didn’t know was how crazy fun it is to mark… Read More
For me, Lollipop Chainsaw is bittersweet, as it marks the end of an incredible collaboration between Goichi Suda (No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), and Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill composer). That’s not to say these talented souls won’t work together again, but with Mikami returning to his roots, it could be a while. Their… Read More
It took over a decade to get here, but the undisputed king of the dungeon crawlers is back, and oh my fuck does it taste good. Being a fan of this game is like being in an abusive relationship. You’ll invest your time, heart, and soul into this game–possibly ruining your social life in the… Read More
If you still haven’t decided whether or not you should drop your hard-earned cash to get Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City then fear not, because Uncle Adam is here to soothe away your doubt. Now that all ten missions of the Spec Ops campaign have been released, I’ll be covering those in this review as… Read More
Has every night since The Walking Dead’s season finale been a struggle for you as you fought to overcome the shakes and sweats that are telltale signs of WDW, or Walking Dead Withdrawal? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Thankfully, a game just came out that can help you get your Walking Dead fix, and it’s… Read More
It’s no secret the Silent Hill series has been struggling for the better part of a decade. Ever since The Room, a game that wasn’t originally planned to be a Silent Hill game, Konami has made a considerable effort to bring its renowned survival horror series back to its former glory. Now this isn’t to… Read More
It’s been too long since we’ve been able to enjoy the pure, sexual gratification that comes from penetrating the darkness of an unsuspecting Taken with a flashlight’s beam and watching it burst into an explosion of sparks and dispelled dark energy. But finally we can, and even though American Nightmare is of a considerably smaller… Read More
In 2005, Christopher Nolan took the Batman film franchise out of the depths of mediocrity, wiped away some of the lingering stains left by Poison Ivy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and hard nipple suits, and gave the Caped Crusader a gritty makeover. Three years later, when The Dark Knight came along, the memory of the campy, fun… Read More
Now, to clarify before people start listing off terrible games, NeverDead is not the second worst game ever. It’s the second worst game I’ve ever had the misfortune of playing, and while that number might not include every game out there, as a game reviewer, it’s still a fairly impressive feat. I don’t want to… Read More
