Prepare to Die, PC Gamers, ‘Dark Souls II’ is Here

Published

I hope you’ve adequately prepared yourself to die a thousand deaths (and then some), because the latest installment in From Software’s famously unforgiving dark fantasy series, Dark Souls II, has arrived on PC. Never before has a game’s tagline — “Prepare to Die” — been so apt. I lost count of my death toll when I was working on my review of the game.

Speaking of which, if you’re still on the fence about it, I rewarded it a 9.5 in my review, where I called it a “masterpiece,” and one of the most “beautiful, horrifying, unforgiving, and most rewarding experiences I’ve had during my gaming career.”

If you can handle it, this is very much a game worth experiencing. And if you’ve been patient it sounds as if the PC version is the best, if you have a rig that can handle it.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

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.
