Now is a Good Time to Buy Some ‘Resident Evil’ Games
If you’re looking to grow your library of horror games, you may want to head over to PSN where they’ve discounted a handful of Capcom titles, including Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for $1.49, Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD for $5.99 and the Resident Evil 6 Ultimate Edition for $19.49 (or $13.64 if you have PS Plus). That last one comes with all of the multiplayer DLC for Resident Evil 6, including its Siege, Onslaught, Survivor and Predator multiplayer modes, as well as additional maps.
For those who aren’t looking to expand their library of horror games, Remember Me has also been discounted to $11.99. The sale will only be live until tomorrow, so if one of these deals sounds too good to be true, I suggest you get on it!
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
