‘Gun Home’ Injects Some Violence And “High Octane Introspection” Into ‘Gone Home’

You know what’s wrong with Gone Home? Plenty. You would think the near unanimous critical acclaim the game received, including an admirable 8.5 from our very own Kevin Kennedy, would make this an experience you really shouldn’t miss. That could’ve been the case if developer Full Bright hadn’t forgotten the three features that are necessary — nay, required — for a video game to be successful.

Instead, what we got was a game that had nary a dual-wieldable uzi, drop of blood, or the sweet satisfaction that washes over you once you’ve blown a tangerine sized hole in Hitler’s ugly five-head. See what could’ve been after the jump.

And in all seriousness, if you haven’t played Gone Home yet, you owe it to yourself to get on that. You can get it here.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
