Sometimes, you want to put a hole in the wall… then now, you have a hole in the wall you have to fix or get into a lot of trouble. That’s why destructive maps in games have always been popular and sadly are not used more. Thankfully Tuxedo Labs have created a game where pretty much everything is destructable! Teardown has made quite the splash on PC and has a devoted Mod community. Now Tuxedo Labs and Saber Interactive are bringing the destructive world of Teardown to console!

Activision is back with another installment in the biggest game franchise in history, Call of Duty, this time with the remake of Modern Warfare 3 that pits everyone’s favorite black ops team, Taskforce 141 against the infamous Vladimir Makarov. I had some gripes in my review of the Modern Warfare 2 reboot, especially about how the levels were laid out. Did things improve? Meh, kind of? Maybe? Let’s talk about it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has good graphics, sound, and voice acting. The controls are the same as they have always been, so returning COD vets like me will have no issue picking up the sticks. Overall when it comes to the game’s story, players familiar with the originals will be both surprised and not when it comes to the main story. There has been some improvement when it comes to the levels, in MW2 I felt there was no freedom to play as it was pretty scripted

The iconic multiplayer game Dead by Daylight has revealed its latest chapter featuring your favorite possessed doll, Chucky, from the Child’s Play franchise, with Brad Durif, the long-time voice of the deadly doll, reprising his role. “Given his size, it’s fair to refer to Chucky as a stealth Killer capable of hiding behind even the shortest obstacles in the map. With a deadly lunging attack, Chucky can quickly close the gap on survivors, letting out a maniacal laugh before taking them down with his twisted glee. His larger-than-life rage and pint-sized stature allows him to vault through windows and under pallets, allowing him to close in on his unsuspecting prey, unlike any other killer before, thanks to his Scamper ability.” The official website states. There are several add-ons inspired by iconic scenes from the franchise, and Chucky comes with three unique perks, including Hex: Two Can Play, which blinds or stuns victims; Friends’ Til The End allows you to reveal victims’

Some people love the thrill of being frightened. The suspense, worry, and anticipation for a scare is what give them a kick, and while most of us hide behind the sofa during horror movies, these guys can’t get enough of being spooked. Of course, horror fun doesn’t just stop with films, and in Canada, there are so many spooky-themed activities to be enjoyed – or endured, depending on your viewpoint. Things to Do for Lovers of Being Scared If you’re a fan of horror and looking for thrilling activities to enjoy in Canada, here are some top recommendations: Haunted Tours Canada is home to numerous haunted locations and ghost stories, so it’s a brilliant country to visit for horror fans. Cities like Toronto and Montreal host several different horror tours, with spooky sites to be explored and eerie histories to learn about.

Stanisław Lem’s novel The Invincible explores humanity’s relationship with life on other planets and how the evolution of life on Earth does not mean it’s superior. Starward Industries and 11 Bit Studio have brought Lem’s work to life in the appropriately named game adaptation, The Invincible. The Invincible follows astrobiologist Yasna, who is struggling to regain her memories while at the same time trying to figure out what happened to her crewmates on the planet of Regis III and the mystery behind these strange organic metal structures the crew was investigating. The controls for The Invincible are thankfully not complicated as the game keeps prompting you of what button does what. The soundtrack and sound design are stellar! The soundtrack catches the retro sci-fi mood with a modern twist. The thing I love about The Invincible is the art. The atompunk look of the equipment and tools, and the interior of the ship and vehicles. When it comes to the

Ten years ago, the first official game based on the internet sensation Slender Man, Slender: The Arrival, was released, and YouTube was never the same again. Now, new and old players of the game can enjoy it with updated graphics and extra content with the new 10th-anniversary version of Slender: The Arrival. Slender: The Arrival takes players to a mysterious forested area full of abandoned sites as Laura, a young woman searching for her friend Kate who has suddenly gone missing from her family home after her encounter with a mysterious Slender Man. Slender: The Arrival‘s controls are simple and more likely the same as they were back when the game first came out, I’ll admit I’ve never played it before. I will say, that I have seen clips and pictures of the original, and the graphics in this version are way better, but the lighting needs work; no matter what I adjust my gamma and flashlight strength to, it’s

At Fear Fest 2023, attendees were given a surprise on the first day of the event, a game launch. That game was Pleasantly Friendly Games and Feardemic’s No Son of Mine. The game was first launched on PS5, Switch, and PC at the time but has recently been released on Xbox, and Feardemic was awesome enough to send over a copy (thanks by the way!). No Son of Mine is a first-person survival horror where you search for clues about your mysterious pursuer, a demonic child. No Son of Mine‘s controls are limited, so they’re simple to remember. The audio is decent and the soundtrack helps set the mood, especially when things get spookier. No Son of Mine‘s gameplay is relatively simple, you explore the map looking for clues as they help you progress, as well as offer you some insight into the story. You acquire a red lens that allows you to see things you can’t see normally as

Looking at it at face value, Little Goody Two Shoes looks like weeb fodder that many gamers will steer clear of, but with a darker tone hidden between the bright and colorful anime appearance, it’s quite intriguing. Part fairy tale, part horror narrative, and part dating sim, I want to thank Astral Shift and Square Enix for the reviewing opportunity! Little Goody Two Shoes takes place in a fairy tale world where Elise, a young woman who was mysteriously found in the forest as an infant, yearns for a lavish lifestyle away from the village she now resides in. Lately, local superstition has been taking hold of the villagers, and with the discovery of red shoes on her property, Elise now finds herself torn between the life she knows, and a darker mysterious one awaiting her in the woods. Little Goody Two Shoes‘s controls are simple as most of what you have to do involves moving around and interacting with

Robocop was arguably one of the best films in the 80s, with its kitschy premise (that can only work in 80s films), memorable moments, merch, and memes. Over the years, video games have been made based on the film series, but admittedly, some of them did not catch the true essence of the film. Teyon and NACON teamed up with MGM to make what is possibly the best Robocop game to date, this is Robocop: Rogue City. Robocop: Rogue City takes players back to the mean streets of Detroit where a new mysterious crime lord is setting up shop and all the gangs of the city are auditioning to be part of the new criminal enterprise by ramping up their crime sprees, and only Robocop can help stem the tide of crime. Now, onto the game itself! Robocop: Rogue City‘s controls are your standard FPS kind which makes it easier to learn and remember as you start playing the game.
