With the digital age of comics thriving, there sure have been some issues over the past few months. It began a month ago when Apple asked French comics distributor Izneo to remove over a thousand titles from the app due to content issues. Then began the whole “Saga” fiasco, which turned out to be ComiXology trying to stay in line with Apple’s guidelines. The “Saga” ban was blown out of proportion and eventually the issue in question was put back on the device. However, Bleeding Cool reports that now some other titles have been removed from the iOS app. READ MORE

In Fear I Trust is a trippy episodic horror game that’s coming to iOS. It’s a collaboration between Turn Me Up Games and Black Wing Foundation, and the gorgeous visuals, which you can see after the break, are courtesy of the Unreal Engine 3. It takes place in 1979 and it looks fantastically creepy. Honestly, I have no clue what’s going on in this new gameplay trailer. All I know is it looks deeply unnerving, and really, that’s all I need to know. Check out the trailer after the break.

Indie horror game Home brought pixelated horror goodness to PC earlier this year and now it’s looking to find a home on Mac, iOS, and if enough of you ask for it, Android, too. Home is a great little horror game with a fantastically creepy soundtrack — if you haven’t played it you can grab it on Steam for a paltry $1.49. Trust me, it’s worth it.

In related news, the PC version has apparently been a success, as Home creator Benjamin Rivers revealed his game has made its way to over 100,000 gamers. That’s big for an indie game, and that success will mean free content that will come in the near future.

System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian Scoring Upcoming Video Game ‘Morning Light’

Serj Tankian (System Of A Down) has announced that he has scored the upcoming Industrial Toys sci-fi shooter video game Morning Light, which will be hitting iOS devices Spring 2013. Tankian has also scored portions of John Woo’s 2007 video game Stranglehold, which was the sequel to the action film Hard Boiled (one of the greatest action films ever released).

Tankian comments, “I’m really enjoying working on Morning Star because it gives me the ability to create new musical worlds to complement the new visual worlds in the game. Though most of the gameplay will be action oriented cues, the stunning artwork and static scenes have inspired unique sounds unheard before.”

Industrial Toys CEO Alex Seropian adds, “We’ve been big fans of Serj’s for quite some time. The opportunity to collaborate with him on Morning Star gave us a way to take the game to a whole new level. We knew his score would be unique, but it’s his ability to interpret a scene or gameplay element and come up with something that makes it moodier, more dramatic or just more awesome that’s really got us pumped.”

Set 120 years into our future, Morning Star takes players aboard the MSRV-Joplin, a research vessel newly outfitted with military weaponry to explore a mysterious signal coming from within our Solar System. When inevitable disaster strikes, Tankian’s accompanying musical score provides the thrilling musical backdrop as players are transported across the cosmos to engage in an epic battle for the ages. The looming threat that awaits is unlike anything humanity has ever seen before.

‘The Drowning’ To Bring Console Quality Horror To iOS Early Next Year

There’s a new first-person horror game entering the iOS arena, and it looks really good. It’s called The Drowning, and its developer wants it to be a truly hardcore horror experience on iOS. When it comes to the App Store’s arsenal of horror games, the selection is largely a mixed bag. There are the forgettable titles like Silent Hill: The Escape and the Resident Evil 4 “port”, then there are a few that are actually quite good. Games like Dead Space offer gorgeous, bite-sized horror on the go. Developer Scattered Entertainment would very much like The Drowning to fall into the latter group. More after the break.

Even though Telltale’s episodic take on The Walking Dead has ended, that doesn’t mean you can’t still get your TWD fix. If you’re on the go a lot, or mobile, as they say, you may want to consider dropping $1.99 on The Walking Dead: Assault. It’s a brand new episodic game that follows Rick’s story, as opposed to following a new group of survivors. It actually look pretty good, though I haven’t had the chance to check it out myself.

It’s about time. Episode 3 in Telltale Games’ episode series based on The Walking Dead is finally available on iOS devices. Long Road Ahead has so far been my favorite episode of the bunch, and that’s saying something for a quality series like this. It’s an intense roller coaster ride that will leave you emotionally drained and hungry for the next episode, which released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 last week (it’s also pretty great).

If you’re looking to get your zombie fix, I highly suggest grabbing your iPhone or iPad so you can download Long Road Ahead now. Each episode is $4.99 if you grab them individually, or you can purchase them all for $14.99 and they’ll unlock as each new episode becomes available.

If you own and haven’t played it I highly recommend it.

There’s no shortage of runner games on Apple’s mobile gaming platform, but Curio stands apart from the rest by being horror themed, and having a fucking weird trailer. The game came out last December, but a brand new update that went live yesterday added more than 50% more content to the game, including new items, Easter Eggs, and a tutorial. I could keep talking about it, but I think I’d rather let Tommy Wiseau (writer, director and star of The Room) give you an idea of what you can expect from it in the trailer below.

You can grab Curio on the iTunes App store for a cool .99 cents. Head past the break for some more info about the game and what its first update has added to it. READ MORE
