Fear the Spotlight Review (PS5)
When the spooky season arrives each year, I forget how much fun it is playing creepy, suspense-filled horror games that add to the ambiance of the season. The safe bets are usually Resident Evil titles or maybe even Phasmophobia. This year, there has been a large influx of creepy games hitting the digital shelves, which makes the choice of scary-time gaming a bit harder to choose from. One such g...[Read More]
Until Dawn Remake (PS5)
On my bingo card of ‘Games that will set the Internet on fire’, I had no idea that it would be the Until Dawn remake from developer Ballistic Moon. This game seemed like a slam dunk and no-brainer when it came to release and reception, as there are plenty of people out there who enjoyed the hell out of the first release. Now, while Digital Foundry has a wonderful visual breakdown of what works and...[Read More]
Paramount Scares Volume 2 Review
It is certainly Halloween season because scary movies have started rearing their beautiful, gross heads. I usually celebrate this season by picking out frightful Friday films at home each week and having my yearly viewing of The Addams Family. It is a wicked way to celebrate a month of horror before we get all family-friendly holidays. Paramount feels the same way about horror films in October, as...[Read More]
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit Review (PC)
Okay. Hear me out. Just for a second. Maybe…just maybe…this is what Five Nights at Freddy’s should have been like from the start. I know, blasphemy, but I would have played the hell out of the series if they had all been like this. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit from developer Mega Cat Studios is a major shift in how FNAF is played. Instead of a first-person horror, it’s a 2D-ish adventure ...[Read More]

TSUKIHIME – A piece of blue glass moon Review (PS4)
If you want a visual novel, this is a visual novel. TSUKIHIME – A piece of blue glass moon from developer Type-Moon is a deep and well-written monster and mayhem-driven story. It’s quite a journey. While I would certainly like a bit more interactivity in my visual novel, as you’re often making dialogue choices rather than action-based ones, having a good story with hard turns and twists make...[Read More]
#BLUD Review (PC)
#BLUD is a game that lives with the heart of the Powerpuff Girls while maintaining the personality of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That is one helluva combination for a game to contain, especially when the visuals back it all up. And believe me, this is a visually stunning game on so many levels. The game doesn’t live solely on its prettiness and powerful edginess, it also contains a wonderful backbo...[Read More]
Fallout TV Series Review (Streaming)
Video game to screen is a big deal now. With the success of films like Sonic the Hedgehog (1 and 2) and television shows like HBO’s The Last of Us, the production world is starting to realize that the biggest entertainment industry might have some stories to tell. It’s a sentiment that I have been crowing about for years. I mean, the good stories are laid out in video game format with character de...[Read More]
Lisa Frankenstein Review (Digital)
I like a good movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously. In the 80s, I lived off the likes of Volunteers and Better Off Dead, mainly for the goofy nature of the films. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with good old-fashioned dumb fun. It’s what the 80s thrived on until it approached the 90s. Now, I mention this because that is what Lisa Frankenstein aspired to be. It borrowed a heavy amount of ...[Read More]
The 7th Guest VR Review (PSVR2)
Years ago, I was privy to experiencing the game The 7th Guest on my very early DOS computer with a new and shiny CD-ROM add-on. The game featured live video mixed with CGI environments and puzzles that told a creepy-ass story of a man who trapped kids and guests within his mansion. While the game was mostly just a puzzle-driven experience, the introduction to CD-ROM-based gaming created a new path...[Read More]
Rosemary’s Baby 4K Review
To start this review, I must confess something. I have never seen Rosemary’s Baby. It was one of those Halloween gems that I had always heard was a must-see, but I just didn’t take it too seriously to make time for it during the creepy season. I mean, how dramatic could it be that a woman carries the love child of the devil? How in the world do you put that story together and not make it goofy? Th...[Read More]
