When it comes to faith people either have it, don’t, or are unsure. In Saint Kotar, the faith of our heroes is tested as modern faith and old traditions collide. I want to thank SOEDESCO and Red Martyer Entertainment for the reviewing opportunity! Saint Kotar takes players to a remote town in Croatia where the people practice modern and pagan beliefs while under the watchful eyes of the town’s leaders who rule with fear. The village is also plagued by kidnappings and murders carried out by the “Moon Ghouls”, a group of cannibal cultists. Players take on the roles of Benedek, a monk, and staunch Catholic, and Nikolay, a Deacon and Benedek’s brother-in-law. The two find themselves waking up in a living nightmare as Benedek’s estranged sister (and Nikolay’s wife) has gone missing and is somehow involved in events that just took place in the town. Now onto the game itself. Saint Kotar is a point-and-click game, which becomes obvious

The recent installment of the video game series, The Dark Pictures Anthology titled The Devil In Me, focused on the exploits of the infamous 19century serial killer H.H. Holmes. In the game as well as pretty much anywhere else you always hear that Holmes (real name Herman Webster Mudgett) is “America’s First Serial Killer”. This title is only half true. Holmes is probably America’s first highly publicized Serial Killer thanks to there being advances in communications at the time, photographs, and 42 states with decent size populations for the time to hear and read about his exploits and trial. But H.H. Holmes is not the first serial killer to spill the blood of his fellow citizens on its soil. The title really belongs to the Harpe Brothers. The Harpe Brothers, Joshua (also known as Micajah), and William (also known as Wiley) were both born either in Scotland OR the British Colony of North Carolina in the 18th century. The life

On Halloween, we reported that Henry Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth for the fourth season of Netflix’s hit series “The Witcher.” The news may have felt like a horrible trick perpetrated by Netflix, but unfortunately, the news is true. And today, we’ve got the first look at Helmsworth as Geralt. Known for his role in The Hunger Games franchise, Hemsworth’s version of the series’ main character looks like a milder version of the chiseled, badass, fighter we’ve come to know and love. While we’re open to giving Hemsworth a shot. Don’t get me wrong, I mean no insult to Hemsworth’s talent, but replacing an established character, especially one that was perfectly cast, is always risky. Why did Cavill leave? According to MSN, the star began to consider leaving in season two due to the fact that he was not satisfied with the direction the show was taking and that he didn’t see “eye to eye with the producers.”

Halloween may be over but the spooks keep coming and Bandai Namco brought it with their latest installment in their The Dark Pictures Anthology series with the fourth story in the series The Devil In Me. I want to thank Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco for allowing me to continue checking out this series for our readers! Let us take a look at The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me. The Devil In Me takes an interesting turn in the series where the game’s story is not inspired by historical events with supernatural undertones (A rumored ghost ship, The Salem Witch Trials, and the curse of Naram-Sin) but by something very real, Serial Killers. The serial killer that the game focuses on is non-other than the infamous H.H. Holmes. The plot of The Devil In Me follows a documentary group who are in the middle of making a documentary about Holmes and were given the opportunity of a lifetime,
