New Screenshots Of ‘A Plague Tale: Innocence’ Shows Beauty And Despair

In 2019 players will be taken to medieval France during the darkest moments in history, the Black Death, and witness the horrors through the eyes of orphaned siblings Amicia and Hugo De Rune in “A Plague Tale: Innocence”. The game by Asobo Studios combines adventure, stealth, and action as the De Rune siblings are escaping the Inquisition as well as avoiding hoards of ravenous rats! The rats (much like during the actual Plague) play a big role during gameplay. The rats are afraid of light and fire which can be used to keep them at bay, but this could attract Inquisitors. In order to avoid being seen by your human foes, players will have to stick to the shadows but by being in the shadows the rats may come for you so it’s safe to say this game will keep you on your toes. The game will be in third-person and the only real weapons Amicia has at her disposal

More Teeth: ‘Jurassic World Evolution: Secrets Of Dr. Wu’ Review

B.D. Wong is back as malevolently sinister Dr. Wu in the DLC “Jurassic World Evolution: Secrets of Dr. Wu”. DLC means Downloadable Content, it’s an add-on to a game. Frontier Development was kind enough to give me the chance to play the DLC and share it with you! First, I suggest before playing the DLC that you complete the main game first and unlock all the dinosaur genomes, building updates, research etc as this will help you have a leg up as this story mode is a bit more challenging! In the DLC you get two new dinosaurs that are part of the missions you unlock, the Troodon, a small carnivore with a poisonous bite and unfortunately these little rascals like to bite EVERYTHING! The second is the Olorotitan, a duck-billed type of dino, which like its cousins in the game, is very temperamental. Overall the DLC is worth the price! The new dinosaurs are fun to have and to

Slappy Is Back One Last Time In ‘Goosebumps Escape The Cage’

The little creepy dummy Slappy is back one last time in Krikey’s latest multiplayer augmented reality game, “Goosebumps Escape the Cage”. As the name implies, you’re stuck inside a cage all thanks to Slappy and it’s up to you and a friend to escape. Like the previous games, you solve puzzles within a set amount of time as well as escaping a maze. Each level has a jump scare that’s unique to it and gameplay is different each time you play. The game is available for free on the App Store and Google Play. Krikey teamed up with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment in a “Goosebumps AR Takeover” campaign to help promote the release of “Goosebumps 2” that’s coming to digital on Christmas and Blu-ray January 15th.

Review: Things Are Just Ducky In ‘Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden’!

The creative folks over at The Bearded Ladies and Funcom were nice enough to allow me to review their new real-time strategy game, “Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden”. This story merges tactical strategy, stealth, and turn-based combat along with exploration and scavenging. Without any spoilers, the story takes place in the future after humanity pretty much messed everything up and years later the new generation is picking up the pieces. The world is known as “the zone” where it’s not safe to be, the only safe place is a haven called the “Ark”. A special group of explorers known as Stalkers ventures out into the zone to gather supplies and ensure that a race of marauders known as the ghouls are kept at bay. Now come our heroes, a mutant boar named Borman and a Dux the duck. While looking for a lost group of stalkers they meet up with one of the missing stalkers, Selma, she looks human

‘Monster Of Worchester’ Released From Prison

David McGreavy was serving a life sentence for the murder of three children he was babysitting in 1973. McGreavy was called the “Monster of Worchester” due to how he murdered the children, all siblings, but he was also called the “Real Friday the 13th Killer” as the murders took place on the 13th of Friday in April of 1973. McGreavy was living with the Ralph family as he was friends with the children’s father, Clive Ralph. Both Clive and his wife worked nights leaving McGreavy to babysit the children but on that fateful night, McGreavy was drunk and he had a history of being a violent drunk as well. Shortly before the killings, McGreavy was at a pub with a friend and drank 5-7 pints of beer. After arriving back at the Ralph residence, he broke the skull of 8-month old Samantha, slit the throat of 2-year old Dawn, and strangled 4-year old Paul. Afterward, McGreavy took a pickax and

Negan Is Back And Lucille Is Still Thirsty In ‘Tekken 7: Season Pass 2’!

The most infamous and popular villain from AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Negan and his barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat Lucille are making a comeback in the fighting game “Tekken 7: Season Pass 2“. Tekken is a fighting game series that was popular back in the arcade days before it came into our homes as console games. The game is known for its large roster of anime-like characters with unique abilities and finishing moves. “Tekken 7” is already out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC but “Season Pass 2” (which can be bought separately if you already own the game or bundled with the game when you buy it) will be bringing back some popular characters from the game’s past and introducing Negan. Negan’s release date is unknown at this time but it’s safe to say his introduction to the game will be just as dramatic as it was for “The Walking Dead”.

A Puzzler Of A Puzzle Game: ‘Energy Cycle Edge’ Review

Sometimes gamers just want to take a break away from most games and want to exercise…their brains. Casual puzzle games have always been a great fallback for most but this game from indie game developer Sometimes You is not only eye-catching…its head scratching. I present to you, “Energy Cycle Edge”, a 3-D puzzle game that will be coming out December 5th for all consoles including PC. The objective of the game is to match all the cells on the playing field to the same color. That’s where the simplicity ends. Every time you click a cell to change its color, the whole row will change as well. That doesn’t sound bad? Look below, that’s level 1. This is level 44, the final level. Yes, like most puzzle games the levels become more complex and to add to it, the puzzles will become more three dimensional. You’ll have to rotate the puzzle in order to solve the level which I can

Show No Fear! Product Review Of The ‘NoSweat Hat Liners’

I know what you’re thinking, “A product review?!” yes, and buckle up! The awesome folks at NoSweat sent me one of their hat liners to try out for you guys. NoSweat makes liners for hats, (sports) helmets, and hard hats. The liners are designed to wick away sweat and prevent it from dripping down your face, and in this case, protecting your hat from becoming discolored or stained with sweat. These liners are currently being used by professional athletes Scott Langley, Stewart Cink, Brandon McManus, Dallas Keuchel, Golden Tate, TJ Oshie, Matt Adams, and Kerry Feirman. Now onward to the review! The liners come in an easy to open (and resalable) bag. The instructions are pretty much repeated all over the bag even with a picture showing you how it should be put into the ball cap. The back of the liner is pretty sticky so you got to make sure you’re lined up right on the first try. The

‘Alien: Blackout’ Coming Soon?

Fans of the Alien franchise are learning today that 20th Century Fox recently purchased the trademark for the title “Alien: Blackout” under the category for video games. With the trademark purchase possibly means within a month or two there will be an announcement. Many are assuming the game’s announcement will be at the upcoming award ceremony The Game Awards as the slogan for the event this year is “Worlds Will Change” which first appeared on Geoff Keighley’s (The host of the ceremony) twitter. The slogan along with its appearance is hauntingly familiar with the company slogan of the Alien franchises human antagonist, Weyland-Yutani, whose motto is “Building better worlds” Another post on twitter that’s making fans squirm with excitement comes from gaming legend Hideo Kojima. Kojima who’s known to fans for making the best games in the industry like the “Metal Gear” and “Zone of Enders” series, and the horror sensation “PT”, tweeted that he visited 20th Century Fox and
