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
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
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
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
The post-apocalyptic wilderness can be a dangerous place. Not everyone has the strength, cunning and resourcefulness that’s required to survive a world like the one in Metro: Last Light. In fact, there are some of us who will almost definitely end up being among the first to fall to the mutants, bandits, radiation, irradiated mutant… Read More
I’m incredibly excited for The Last Of Us. I love developer videos for games, because you don’t quite understand how much goes into a game until you see them. In this latest video, which you can check out past the break, the team goes in depth on extensive lighting, dead foliage, and much more. The… Read More
Just announced from companies Animantz and Dysotek, is the first person zombie shooter called Deadly Walkers. What they are pushing however is what sets them apart from most of the other droll zombie shooters. You MUST shoot a zombie in the head to kill it. I know, that sounds like a no brainer (eh? eh?)….

What’s better than a red band trailer? An extended red band trailer, obviously, duh. The Last Of Us is definitely looking like one of those rare games that gives non PS3 gamers a reason to buy one. In this trailer we get an awesome and gory look at what it takes to survive in the… Read More
If you’re like me than you’ve undoubtedly spent some time watching people nervously exploring the freaky indie horror hit Slender: The Eight Pages. This game is absolutely terrifying, so that makes it so much fun to watch, especially if you’re not quite brave enough to experience it yourself. Whether or not you’ve played The Eight… Read More
Most of us around here don’t care so much for the Black Ops games themselves. But if you’re talking zombies mode, I’m in. I think Treyarch would benefit from at least making the zombies mode available as a cheaper standalone game. Maybe something we could get on Xbox Live or the Playstation Network. Coming April… Read More
In this very special edition of Indie Horror Spotlight, it’s Adam vs. the Mosquito. Seriously. If there was a list of annoying video game bugs — the insects, not those of the technical variety — DreadOut’s mosquito would claim every spot on the list. That persistent creature followed me the whole time, and refused to… Read More
Finally we get to really see what this game looks like. I appreciate a creepy teaser every now and then, but I’ve been itching to see what this indie horror game actually looks like for some time now. The Legend is powered by the CryEngine 3 — the same engine the Crysis series uses —… Read More
Old school survival horror game Catequesis is this much closer to bringing pixelated horror goodness to PC, and I really can’t wait. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a story-driven indie horror game that’s heavily inspired by 90′s RPGs. If that tickles you like it does me, you should definitely check out the new trailer I have… Read More
If you’ve never seen a Tobuscus literal video game trailer, well then you my friends are missing out. Check it out below, and make sure you check out more in the colorful link I’ve provided.
Welcome to the new and improved Indie Horror Spotlight! See that hologram behind you? THAT’S PART OF IT. Okay, no holograms, but that would’ve been cool, right? Unfortunately, that’s not within our budget. Until we get our hologram funding, you’ll have to sit back and enjoy this brand new edition of IHS. What makes this… Read More
Comic book legend Stan Lee’s Youtube channel World of Heroes has just launched a new series called Cosplay Piano where they mash together music themes you may recognize from movies and television with a bit of cosplay. First up is the theme from AMC’s The Walking Dead, covered by the intensely talented pianist Sonya Belosouva,… Read More
The cel-shaded Ninja Gaiden spin-off Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z may use the Unreal 3 engine, but that isn’t keeping it from looking marvelous. In it you take on the role of a cyborg ninja who’s hunting Ryu Hayabusa. To reach him you’ll have to cut your way through hordes of assassins and zombies. It looks… Read More
Last night at GDC DICE showed off a visually impressive demo of Battlefield 4, featuring some gorgeous, open environments and some of the most realistic faces I’ve ever seen. It looks massive and more open than Battlefield 3, and did I mention it looks gorgeous? This is what next-gen looks like. Watch 17 incredible minutes… Read More
Dark is our chance to get a good vampire game. Though vampires seem to be taking over tv and movies, we haven’t seen much of an influx in the video game world. Which is a shame because if the right company starts putting the effort towards a game the genre could become as big as… Read More
