Make Sure You Get The Right Gear With The ‘Silent Hill 2 Holiday Weapons’ Infomercial

Published

on

Let’s be honest and admit that Silent Hill 2 is easily one of the greatest survival horror games ever released. The fact that it still appears on many “Best Of” lists is a testament to the legacy that it created. Any chance to revisit the game is something that I welcome with open arms and Fungo has created just such the opportunity!

Just in time for the holidays, Fungo got together with Guy Cihi, the voice and motion capture actor for James Sunderland, and David Schaufele, the voice and motion capture actor for Eddie Dombrowski, to create a “Silent Hill 2 Holiday Weapons” infomercial, that pokes fun and pays tribute to many of the iconic weapons used in the game.

It’s pretty awesome to see Cihi again after so many years and hearing that iconic Sunderland voice is something very special. Give it a peek down below and relive your favorite SH2 memories!

‘Toxic Crusaders’ – Retroware’s Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up Coming Fall 2024

Published

Toxic Crusaders video game

Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.

Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.

Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.

In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!

“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”

Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here.  Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.

Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.

Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
