Saber Interactive, iLLOGIKA Studios, and EP1T0ME Studios have announced that they are banding together to bring the cinematic universe of “A Quiet Place” to life in the upcoming survival horror game A Quiet Place. More news will come in time but overall information about the game is that it’s a single-player, story-driven horror adventure set in the Paramount Film’s universe with an original story full of suspense, emotion, and drama that the films brought to fans who can now personally experience the horrors of that quiet world full of ravenous creatures themselves! The game is projected for a 2022 release. The “A Quiet Place” films follow a family of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world torn apart by alien creatures that are blind but have a super-sensitive sense of hearing where the slightest sound draws them in for the kill. Both films were directed by John Krasinski starring Emily Blunt.

In the recently released horror game The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, like the previous titles in the series, the basis of the game’s plot comes from historical events, in Man of Medan it was the urban legend during WWII of a ghost ship, in Little Hope, it was the Salem Witch Trials, and now in House of Ashes it’s the Curse of Akkad. At the start of the story, we see the Akkadians sacrificing Gutian soldiers with Naram-Sin of Akkad watching over before the curse takes shape in a supernatural way dooming Naram-Sin and the Akkadians. Historically there was mentioned a curse that befell the ancient ruler and his people, but what was it really? Let’s get right to it! Naram-Sin of Akkad was a real ruler, the fourth out of seven rulers of the Akkadian Empire that is now modern Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Turkey. It was said that he and the empire fell out of favor

A big thank you to BANDAI NAMCO for making this review possible and to help get the spooks flowing during the Halloween season with their third edition to their critically acclaimed The Dark Pictures Anthology series titled House of Ashes starring Ashley Tisdale. Like the previous titles, House of Ashes takes players to a remote part of the world where terror awaits and decisions are made with consequences and affect the outcome of the game’s main story. This time players are not adrift on a ghost ship in the Pacific or a fog enveloped ghost town in New England but trapped underground in a crumbling Assyrian temple in Iraq during the latter half of the Iraq War in 2003 where ancient horrors await. Returning fans of the game will be glad to know that the controls for the game are the same as the previous two games. The usual mechanics of the game is still there and thankfully have not

Bingo and horror movies go together like peanut butter and jelly. When the horror genre has Christmas films that involve dabbers and wheels filled with balls, from Psycho to The Candyman and Dracula, you know there’s a crossover! However, the majority of them are quite dated now, and they highlight the retro nature of bingo. The game has moved on a lot since the 1980s and 90s, yet there aren’t many movies or TV series that represent the genre. Of course, that doesn’t stop motion picture buffs wondering what a 21st-century bingo horror flick would look like today. Some people would say it’s your ghastly duty. Scene One: A Rowdy Bingo Party Hear us out – a modern bingo horror scene would be a killer’s dream. The game has evolved so much in the last couple of decades that it provides the ideal cover for people with bad intentions. Think about traditional halls and function rooms, and consider how quiet

A big thank you to Crytek and Saber Interactive for the opportunity to check out the Crysis Remastered Trilogy that brings all three games back and in HD. for those not familiar with the game series, Crysis centers around the player playing as a soldier wearing a Nanosuit that allows them to cloak, build impenetrable

The Farm 51 and All in! Games were awesome enough to allow me the chance to explore the decaying ruins of Pripyat and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Chernobylite, an FPS survival game that takes players to the most radiated zone in the world. In Chernobylite players take on the role of Igor, a Ukrainian physicist, who worked at Chernobyl doing research involving interdimensional travel along with his fiancé who went missing during the meltdown of the power plant. After the disaster, a new element was made that Igor is studying called Chernobylite that also has attracted the attention of the NAR who have taken over the wasteland. Along with the human threat, there are now also mysterious creatures that thanks to the Chernobylite, have traverse dimensions and now stalk the wasteland. Now onto the game itself! Once you get the game starting players will have to adjust the sensitivity as I noticed at the start I turn too slow,

It’s no secret, people like to kill zombies, but how would they fair staring down a massive hoard of them barreling towards them like a tsunami of bloody flesh and nightmare fuel? Well, now you can in World War Z: Aftermath. A big thanks to Saber Interactive for the opportunity to try out this game! The game takes place in the same universe as Paramount Picture’s film World War Z where players team up to survive the massive hoard of zombies. It should be noted that World War Z: Aftermath is an addition to the main game and not a standalone story. Aftermath features new characters and two new levels, Rome and Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. The biggest addition to the game is the option to have the game in First-Person, which added a whole new dynamic to the intensity of the game. I have not played the game before now and after a few hours going solo with AI teammates;
