Fans Can Now Play ‘The Evil Within 2’ In First-Person

Bethesda just announced today that their terrifying game The Evil Within 2 got a free update, you can now play the game in first-person. The game is normally third–person, but in one part of the game, where players must navigate a trap-filled maze while avoiding a stalking enemy, it’s in first-person. Players really liked the added tension the first person perspective gave; some who played the game on PC found a way to glitch it so the whole game could be played that way. The developers were not upset by this but instead embraced it and made the update for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Players who don’t own the game yet are able to try a free demo of the newly updated game and play the first couple of chapters, to add to this awesome gift the saved data from the demo will be transferred over to the full game if the player chooses to get the whole

Three Films Based On One Book, Who Got It Right?

In August of 1938, readers of Astounding Science-Fiction Magazine beat the summer heat by reading a chilling science-fiction story that took them to the heart of Antarctica where a group of scientists was trapped along with a shape-shifting extraterrestrial. That story was Who Goes There?, by Don A. Stuart, the pen name of John W. Campbell Jr. The story was later reprinted in book form where Campbell used his real name. The novella eventually spawned three movies, the first one in 1951 titled The Thing from Another World that was followed up by John Carpenter’s 1982 cult classic The Thing (it spawned a video game as well as a series of comics.) which was followed up by the 2011 prequel using the same name. Three movies based on one book. The film industry is known for taking a book and making it into a film with mixed results, usually negative. So the question remains, out of the three films based

New Photo Of Older Laurie Strode Released

https://twitter.com/jamieleecurtis/status/963034547205103619 A new photo of an older Laurie has emerged viva Jame Lee Curtis’s twitter account. The scream queen, who will be starring in a new Halloween film this October, looks fearsome as ever. While previous photos of the aged Laurie have been released, this is our best look yet at this new version of one of horror’s most iconic heroines. Danny McBride will be writing the movie, while John Carpenter produces and possibly scores. This would be the franchise creators first return to the franchise in over 20 years. This reboot will land right around the original Halloween’s 40th anniversary. Onset photos have already surfaced as Halloween enters production, for an October 19th release date. Until then all we can do is wait for more news to break and Michael to return home one last time.

9 Zombie Video Game Clichés That Need To Stop

Zombies are fun. Zombie movies are fun to watch. Zombie video games are more fun! There’s nothing like taking your frustrations out on a bunch of virtual undead eating machines and coming out on top. Some games offer you this and then some but over time there are elements in these games that have been done once or twice that start to become overused to the point that they become an annoying cliché that makes the genre repetitive and no longer fun. Since many developers are starting to get into the “immersion” fad. In gaming, culture immersion is when developers want the player(s) to feel like they are literally in the game, generally, this is applied towards VR devices like Oculus Rift but this practice is starting to find its way into non-VR games. For example, the winter sports game Steep the game can only be played online in a public lobby which many gaming fans find annoying (which it

The Pronouns of Fandom

Disclaimer: Sports, film, music, and art will do more to unite a nation than politics. All of these, collectively known as “entertainment” allow people a sense of belonging, identity and sharing. They can represent the best of us as a species. All can inspire, amaze and make us and make us better people. Notice I left out any reference to “ownership.” Grammar Nazis love to focus on the improper use of “You’re” and “Your” and “They’re and There.” I suggest they look into the misuse of certain pronouns. Fans of any medium don’t seem to understand “Us” and “Them” or “We” and “They.” A sports example: The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52. The players, coach, the staff that worked on a daily basis to make the machine run–THEY won the Super Bowl. YOU reading this did not. To see “We did it!” type posts online is another example of a spectator world that confuses viewing with doing. To be

She’s Back! Lindsay Lohan Returns With Werewolves

It’s been a while, but Hollywood’s favorite mean girl will soon return to the big screen in a new crime horror film, The Shadow Within. This will be Lohan’s first film since starring in the 2013 film The Canyons. The Shadow Within will be about a private detective (presumably played by Lohan) who’s trying to solve the murder of her uncle while keeping it a secret that she’s a descendant of werewolves. More information about the film is sparse and the film’s IMDB page seems to add to the confusion. What does not help is that there’s a movie with the same name that came out in 2007, mysteriously enough Lohan herself posted on Instagram a teaser poster for the film back in December but since has been removed. The fate of the picture is unknown whether or not it will howl its way to the big screen or whimper with its tail between its legs straight to DVD, all

Future “Cloverfield” Films Will Make It To The Theatre

The Super Bowl’s biggest surprise wasn’t The Patriot’s defeat, (fly Eagles fly!) but the release of “The Cloverfield Paradox” on Netflix, right after the game. The Cloverfield Franchise has a history of unique marketing, but announcing the impending release of an entry in one of cinema’s most intriguing franchises just hours in advance is pretty ballsy. The next film in the series however, the WW2 set Overlord will be making it’s way to theaters, according to thewrap.com. Netflix reportedly paid $5o Million dollars to Paramount for the exclusive right’s to Paradox, a hefty price tag the company might not be keen to repeat. Paradox has so far been panned by critics, with a score of 21 on Rotten Tomatoes to most recent entry 10 Cloverfield Lane’s 90. Netflix doesn’t typically release viewership numbers, but The Super Bowl itself was viewed by 103 million people. That’s a whole lot of eyes on an ad, even if a few people got up

Death Is Permanent In ‘Song Of Horror’

When you die in a video game, usually you restart from a checkpoint or where you last saved, but many gamers like a challenge, now comes the gaming term that either excites or terrifies players, “permadeath”. Permadeath is a gaming slang term for “permanent death” means exactly as it sounds, when you die in a game that’s it, game over, you must now start from scratch. Most games either don’t have this mechanic as it’s more or less a personal challenge made by the player themselves or in some games like Wolfenstein: New Colossus it’s a difficulty that you can unlock, but for upcoming survival horror game Song of Horror by Protocol Games it’s the game’s main feature. To ease your concerns about the permadeath mechanic in Song of Horror, it’s only permanent for one of 16 playable characters, that’s right, you can control 16 different characters!
