The Mist Review
You can always tell when someone has translated Stephen King’s material correctly because of one simple element – the dialogue. Typically, in a Hollywood-style film, when someone has taken liberty with Stephen King’s ideas, the dialogue is short, and pointed, and there are more visuals than dialogue. Most people are under the belief that showing is better than telling. While The Shining is an abso...[Read More]
The Fabulous Fear Machine Review (PC)
This is the month when everyone should be pining for some fear, scares, and creeps in their entertainment. Maybe it’s your favorite Halloween film, such is the case that mine is The Thing, where it still gives me jump scares, even when I know what’s coming. Maybe it’s going on a ghost tour in your local area, where you can go hunt some real scares from shadow people and the undead. Or maybe, just ...[Read More]
GYLT Review
There are some games out there that are easy-breezy to get through. One such game is Sayonara Wild Hearts, where you start low in a deep depression, and end up pulling yourself up and together. The quick gameplay and gorgeous music make it an easily replayable game that might start as a tough pill to swallow but eventually will go down like a spoon of sugar. And then are games like GYLT. GYLT is a...[Read More]
Oxenfree II: Lost Signals Review
Back in 2016, Night School Studio released Oxenfree which ended up being one of the most surprisingly entertaining games of that year. The game featured a creepy, unsettling island world populated by irresponsible teenagers who didn’t know what they were meddling with until it was too late. Every ounce of the game oozed mystery, horror, and branching narrative choices with consequential impact. Al...[Read More]
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Review
The Curious Case Of Solving Cases But In Games If there is another genre I enjoy besides RPG, simulator, and horror, it is mystery. I love investigating areas, searching for evidence, and putting clues together to solve a case. I feel like Batman or Sherlock Holmes. I mean, come on. They both are fantastic and intellectual characters. Also, they have intriguing personalities and character developm...[Read More]
Renfield Review
Unsurprisingly, Nic Cage is a hot commodity right now. I mean, the guy can act and has proven it repeatedly over the last 10 years with movies like Pig, Jiu Jitsu, and Primal. His popularity renaissance hit its highest gear with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, as did hundreds, if not thousands of memes that were born from that performance. Tasteful and funny memes, but memes, nonetheless....[Read More]

Decarnation (Nintendo Switch)
Horror doesn’t have to just be jumpscares, fright feats, and other overused ooky-spooky tropes that are often seen in popular media every Autumn. Sometimes, a _lack_ of certainty or an air of uneasiness can be effective in making folks like you and I feel uneasy over a period of time. In gaming, series like Resident Evil push players into spaces of adrenaline-fueled horror, whereas titles li...[Read More]

Redfall Review
It has been a rough week for the folks at Arkane with their recent release of Redfall, a vampire open-world game that has a setup that would make John Carpenter smile. The game is being hailed as something that fell short of expectations, even going as far as drawing ire from Xbox head of everything Phil Spencer. And, to be quite frank, none of what is being said or felt is entirely wrong. While R...[Read More]

Ghostwire – Tokyo – Review
A year removed from our original review of Ghostwire: Tokyo and it has finally made it to the Xbox. So, how did opinions change since last year? I’m glad you asked because that’s why I’m typing this review. Anyway, while the game still has some issues with pacing and content, the overwhelming feeling of dread and a city filled with unnerving creepiness still dominate the gameplay. While those attr...[Read More]
