How did this trailer for the upcoming ‘Call of Cthulhu’ video game based on H.P. Lovecraft’s Gothic horror classic of the same name and the attendant Cthulhu Mythos which has developed around his brand of cosmic horror get me out of the existential funk I’ve been in enough to actually[…]
I don’t own a Microsoft XBOX, and I don’t want to. But for the first time ever a game designed for the platform kind of makes me wish I had one. That game is ‘Cuphead’, an indie platformer hand-animated in a style intended to evoke the aesthetic of 1930’s cartoons! […]
There are a lot of survival games. There are a lot of horror games. There are a lot of survival horror games. But only one survival horror game is actually hell to play. That game is MadMind Studio’s forthcoming property ‘AGONY’. Featuring a whole load of Geoetic-style sigils and a[…]
When Bethesda and Machine games brought Nazi-hunter BJ Blazkowicz to “next-gen” consoles in ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’, a revival of the grandaddy of shooters, ‘Castle Wolfenstein’, set in a Nazi-dominated 1960’s, they produced one of the best first person shooters of our modern era.

‘Assassin’s Creed Chronicles’ is the new 2-and-a-half-D side-scrolling iteration of Ubisoft’s popular historic conspiracy series.

Last month ‘Assassin’s Creed Unity’, Ubisoft’s ambitious first “next gen” entry in its long-running historical-fiction adventure series, was released amid a flurry of complaints.

I’ve never played any of the ‘Far Cry’ games, but the more I see of Ubisoft’s newest entry in the series, ‘Far Cry 4’, the more I feel like I might need to play this shit. Elephants, sadhus, magic tigers, a color festival, leopards, a crazed dictator, shooting while driving[…]
I could’ve posted about ‘Assasin’s Creed Unity’, Ubisoft’s first entry in their long-running historic fantasy series for so-called “next-gen” consoles a few months ago. But there were just too many goddamn trailers out there floating around touting the game’s groundbreaking graphics and gameplay that I just couldn’t choose which one[…]
Holy. Fucking. Shit. I had Ubisoft’s ‘Watch_Dogs’ pre-ordered when it was supposed to be out last Fall. And I’ve been anticipating the game in general for some time before that. But this new trailer, which focuses on the game’s digital recreation of the city of Chicago, just upped the ante[…]
Yesterday, for no particular reason, I decided I should invest in a membership in Sony’s PlayStation Plus service. If you’re not aware, it’s a subscription-based service that gives members access to free game downloads, game previews, discounts on items in the PlayStation store, online saves, and other junk. So far[…]
Today marks the release of ‘Burial at Sea: Episode Two’, the last piece of ‘BioShock Infinite’ DLC, and the final hurrah for the Irrational Games studio, which was shuttered by it’s founder Ken Levin earlier this year. ‘BioShock Infinite’ remains my favorite gaming title of 2013, and the ‘Burial at[…]
In the wake of a pretty serious content leak by SONY, Rockstar has released the final ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ trailer before the game’s September 17th release. This trailer offers a bit more insight into how Michael gets pulled back into the world of crime, as well as how far[…]
