Slot machines have benefitted majorly from themed games. Even though slot machine games have always had a fairly sizeable amount of gamblers, the introduction of themed games to the the market has been a revelation. Many have enticed gamblers who were not too focused on slot machine games to focus their attention on this industry sector as slot machine games have begun to base their storylines and gameplay on famous faces, movies, and TV shows. It is no surprise that some of these casino games are based on crime themes. Some popular TV shows and movies are based on true or fictional crime. Whether it is titles such as Peaky Blinders or the Godfather developers have honed in on a niche that hadn’t previously existed. However, thanks to these slot machines, games now contain the best computer graphics that money can buy. You can find some good examples here: www.mbitcasino.io/slots.

It’s that time of year as 2022 is coming to a close and along with it many game releases. This year was a busy review year, and going through the list I was able to come up with 15 horror games that I reviewed ranked from bad to good. It’s a long list so let’s start with one of the worse games reviewed this year, shall we? 35MM This Russian-made first-person game is labeled as a “Survival Horror” taking place in a post-apocalyptic world. The scariest thing about this game was how horrifically boring it was with a lack of scares and action. The game is more of a depressing walking simulator. Mothmen 1966 An 80s-style DOS game about a group of characters trying to survive a night with multiple Mothmen attacking them. The premise sounded promising but the game copped out on that. The game’s slow pace, and abrupt ending (just as a story was actually forming!) I wanted

The announcement has now been made on Twitter that a live-action feature adaptation of the popular game “BioShock” is heading your way. Netflix will partner with 2K and Take-Two Interactive, the studio that created the game, and its parent company which will be producing the movie, whose details are still being kept quiet. “BioShock” was first released back in 2007. It follows Jack, a passenger on an airplane that crashes into the ocean near the underwater city of Rapture, a haven where the rich and powerful can live out their lives free from the restrictions of land-based governments. But as Jack quickly learns, the city has turned into a horrific den of monsters. The game was a hit and went on to spawn two sequels. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

With the year nearly ending I was allowed the opportunity to play Children of Silentown nearly a month early thanks to Daedelic Entertainment and Elf Games. A spooky game that’s rated E for everyone?! How does that work? Let’s find out, this is Children of Silentown. Children of Silentown takes place in a small village located in the middle of a forest that’s home to monsters that can be heard at night. Due to the threat outside the village, strict rules based on superstitions were put into place but the foundation of the village is slowly being rocked by Lucy and her quest for answers about her nightmares and the disappearance of her mother which has the village on edge. Now onto the game itself! Children of Silentown‘s controls are pretty basic as it’s a point-and-click style game, with tutorials and reminders of what buttons do what. What I really like is that when the characters “speak” (it’s in the

When it comes to casino games, slot machines tend to be the ones that most people tend to veer toward. That’s why so many gambling establishments will offer a variety of slot games for people to choose from. Most standard casinos will have rows upon rows of slot machines lined up to cater to hungry gamblers who are looking for a quick and easy way to have fun. And since online gambling sites have been gaining significant levels of prominence and popularity lately, it should go without saying that online versions of slot games have been increasing in popularity as well. One of the main reasons that slot games are so popular is that they’re so easy to get into. Unlike other more complex casino games like poker or blackjack, slots are literally as simple as pushing a button. Of course, it’s a lot more nuanced than that, but that’s the general gist of the game. Many gamblers can spend
