Mascot Horror has been around for a long time now, as have parkour games; some even incorporated horror and Parkour together…but Mascot Horror and Parkour…with Dinosaurs! That’s what you’ll be getting in WDR Studio’s Terrible Lizards. Terrible Lizards takes place in 1992 and brings us to the roadside attraction on Route 66, Dalton’s Dinos. Jordan, a college student and track athlete, experiences car trouble and waits inside the attraction for a tow, only to find the sprawling attraction and museum…empty. Now. Onto the game itself! The controls for the game respond well and are easy to learn. I will say Jordon seems to want to climb on everything if you get too close, which gets a bit annoying, and compared to other parkour games, he seems to “Slide” on landing, meaning he has a bit too much forward momentum. Sound-wise, the voice acting and soundtrack are phenomenal. The art of the game is fitting for the story it’s telling, a

This is going to be an interesting one, everybody. It’s rare, but it happens, that I get contacted and asked to have a look at a game after it’s been published. So when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate team got a hold of me and asked that I take a look at the game, as someone with a couple of totes full of TMNT toys from the 90s, I could not say no, so a big thank you for sending over a copy for me to check out! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a roguelike that takes players all over New York City as our half-shelled heroes, as they try to bring order to the growing chaos in the city after strange portals opened up around the city, and one of them took Master Splinter! After I’ve played it, I will say the game is definitely meant to be played with others, as even playing on story mode

Moviegoers and haunt enthusiasts usually rely on personal opinion when rating horror films and haunted houses. Past experiences, distinct preferences, and personal fears shape their reactions. However, a revolutionary new platform, the first of its kind, called Scream Score® aims to judge horror through direct scientific measurement. Designed by creator Heather Doggett, the innovative application measures real human fear responses to determine how scary an attraction or film truly is. Biometrics and Fear Tracking The Scream Score app downloads to any modern smartphone and connects seamlessly to standard smartwatches. While a user watches a terrifying film or walks through a haunted attraction, the app tracks vital biometrics. It monitors subtle physiological changes, such as sudden heart rate spikes and shifts in walking pace, to calculate fear intensity. Afterward, users can upload their biometric data to see an accurate, objective measurement of their scare response. Social Features and Complete Privacy Users can easily compare their fear metrics with friends, family, and

It’s no secret, I’m a big fan of the Remothered games. This started back when I first began to cover Remothered: Tormented Fathers, and after reviewing it, I was fascinated by the story and gameplay. Then I got the privilege to check out its sequel, Broken Porcelain, which kind of left me disappointed with its bugs. Now, it all comes down to this: the grand finale of the series, and Stormind Games were awesome again, allowing me to dive headfirst into the world of Remothered one last time with Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy. Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy takes us to Sicily in 2012 as we follow Susan Harper (Cissy Jones) and her husband, Angelo, who arrive at the Villa Ashmann after receiving a tape in the mail showing their kidnapped daughter. Once inside, Susan must hide for her life as she uncovers the Ashmann family’s secrets and the origin of its most notorious resident, the Red Nun (Maggie Robertson). Now. Onto the

It’s a fact that there’s a right way and a wrong way to make a horror game. Unfortunately, ASD Studio and Axyos Games’ first-person horror game, FIRE AND ASHES, has committed some of what I can call sins of horror gaming. FIRE AND ASHES follows Harry, a man who’s been institutionalized and trapped in a twisted asylum where he must fight for his survival and uncover why he’s there. The controls for FIRE AND ASHES are alright but are overcomplicated for combat for some reason. Graphics-wise, the game looks decent, along with the lighting…and that’s where the praise stops. Combat is clunky; animations for opening doors are bugged, there are supposed to be subtitles (if you turn them on), but they don’t appear, or when they do, it’s late. You can “Swim,” but I shit you not, they just animated the arms making the swimming motion, but you’re actually just WALKING underwater; yes, you sink to the bottom and just walk.

GUNNAR has always been there to ensure gamers and anyone else who stares at screens for long periods gets the best protection while staying stylish, but what about when it’s time to relax?

The answer is GUNNAR’s Ojai, a new vision recovery system designed to help you and your eyes to relax after looking at a screen for hours! I want to give a massive thank you to GUNNAR for sending over the Ojai for me to try for myself! Out of the box, the Ojai Vision Recovery System is ready for use.

Well, this was a short one, so the review is…well…short. This is Psalm 5:9-13, possibly the creepiest game I’ve reviewed in months! There’s really no backstory to Psalm 5:9-13; you literally wake up in the dark and explore different rooms to get answers. The controls are extremely limited, as this is a walking sim. You use one button to zoom in the camera and another to interact when prompted; other than that, that’s it for controls. The sound design of the game is well done; the ambiance is creepy and makes you paranoid as you play, as some sounds seem to be designed to distract you in order to build up to a scare. The graphics are great but hidden behind a VHS filter, unfortunately. I know people like that look, but sometimes it can be a tad much; in this case, it both works for and against the game. Gameplay-wise, the game is quite simple.

Castlevania is a title that demands respect as one of the strongest franchises in gaming history and has been seen on many consoles over the years. Unfortunately for me, the only title I’ve played was Castlevania 64 for, you guessed it, the Nintendo 64. Now, years later, Konami was awesome enough to allow me to check out the latest entry in the series, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse! Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is set 23 years after the events of Castlevania III and the Netflix animated series. Tevor Belmont and his daughter Rose are in Paris after a demonic outbreak occurred and is painting the city red. The duo split up to fight monsters and find the source of the evil, which may actually be caused by an old nemesis. Now, onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, they are very responsive and simple, almost like an old-school arcade. The game’s art is what shines the brightest for me! I’ve heard the
