All In! Games announced that this summer, players will get to see the world from a different perspective with their upcoming first-person game Metamorphosis, a game inspired by the short story of the same name by Franz Kafka. The short story is about a young man named Gregor who woke up one morning finding himself transformed into a large insect affecting how his once close nit family slowly turns on him due to his transformation. In the game, players take on the role of Gregor, and much like in Kafka’s story he was a man that turned into a bug but this time instead of following the original story’s narrative, Gregor goes out to find out what happened to him. Gregor must use parkour skills to move around his environment as he gets used to his new abilities as an insect. Gregor also will be solving puzzles and finding clues about the mystery surrounding his transformation as he meets interesting

The 15-man team made up of AAA gaming veterans make up Cold Symmetry, and to make their mark on the gaming world they wasted no time and went right for the throat with their upcoming Souls-like flagship game, Mortal Shell. Souls games are a genre of games that are inspired by or a lot like the games in the “Dark Souls” game series where players earn points (souls) by killing enemies and can lose all of them if defeated in which these games are known to being very taxing. Souls games are also known for the unique combat system where dodging, and parrying attacks are just as important, if not more important, than attacks. Players take on the role of an empty vessel who is summoned by the “Dark Father” to retrieve glands from your fallen foes. To do so, the vessel must take on a “shell” (the remains of a fallen warrior) and harness their skills to fight the

CAPCOM was awesome enough to allow me a chance to experience to see that regardless of what’s going on in the world right now, there could be zombies and a large bio-weapon chasing me! Of course, I’m talking about Resident Evil 3, the latest installment in the remake boom that came to the franchise last year with the outstanding Resident Evil 2, but does RE3 keep the momentum going? This is a spoiler-free review so it’s safe sailing ahead! Resident Evil 3 takes place slightly before and during the events of Resident Evil 2 (just like in the original) and follows our heroine Jill Valentine as she tries to escape the horrors of Raccoon City as the T-Virus outbreak turns the citizens into Zombies. Jill must also face mutants and the fearsome Nemesis that pursues her with the objective to kill members of the S.T.A.R.S. unit. I’m quite impressed with how easy the controls are and being able to remember

Rock Pocket Games and Funcom have allowed me to play their Lovecraft inspired first-person horror game, Moons of Madness for the Xbox One. Moons of Madness has already been released on PC and received high praise by many before finally being released onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One today. In Moons of Madness, you take on the role of Shane Newhart, a lowly engineer with a level 1 security clearance working on a station on Mars. After waking from a nightmare and having to get back to work maintaining the facility, things start to go weird…and very wrong and somehow Shane’s past is involved. Onto the game itself: Moons of Madness is heavily narrative-driven and you’re along for the ride, very much like the “Layers of Fear” games, Narcosis, and Observer, where players have to solve puzzles to continue the narration and may have to run away from danger rather than fighting it. With what was mentioned above, as you

Nearly twelve hours ago I waited downloaded the Resident Evil 3 Demo and gave it a shot and I was impressed! The demo is roughly 20 minutes long but definitely shows you what you’re going to get yourself into when the full game comes out! Judging by the events in the Demo, this playthrough is taking place somewhere in the middle of the storyline As Jill is brought in to meet Carlos’s commanding officer who unlike in the original Resident Evil 3, is not completely incapacitated. The demo shows a bit of everything that you will encounter in the main game like puzzle solving, reading documents, crafting health and ammo, and of course combat. If you’re wondering, yes its true Nemesis is in the demo as well and he can really kick your ass! After completing the demo I was treated with a new trailer for the game that showed a bit more of what we will be seeing in
