Happy Halloween Ghouls and Ghoulettes! When you think of Halloween you don’t see yourself spending time at the beach right? Or at a beach out of time…and space? Well, that’s how I spent my Halloween in Broken Pieces. I want to give thanks to Elseware Experience and Freedom Games for the reviewing opportunity. Broken Pieces takes place on the seaside of France in 1993 where players take on the role of Elise, a woman searching for her missing fiance as the world seems to be outside of time and the village she’s in is devoid of life as an event took place resulting in the population going missing and supernatural threats stalk the streets. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, Broken Pieces thankfully has a tutorial system but the more I played it, it became evident that the game is more suited for mouse and keyboard which makes some interactions and movements awkward. The game’s

Fans of the Call of Duty game series were either dreading or looking forward to the latest installment in the franchise, the remake of the 2009 Modern Warfare 2. I’ll admit it’s been a LONG time since I’ve played COD, the last being Black Ops 3, which made me put the controller down on the series as I felt the series was focusing more on online multiplayer fanservicing than single-player campaigns. So, has the series redeemed itself in my eyes? Let’s check out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. I would like to thank Infinity Ward and Treyarch for the reviewing opportunity. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II picks up where the 2019 game left off and follows Taskforce 141, a multi-national special operations group made up of the SAS, CIA, Mexican Special Forces, Russian and American PMCs, and freedom fighters from the fictional country of Urzikstan. 141 is up against an Iranian Quds Force Major seeking vengeance for the

Today the first-person mystery horror Charon’s Staircase was released for all consoles and PC in time for Halloween to give you some chills over the weekend, does it deliver? Let’s find out, but first, I would like to thank SOEDESCO and Indigo Studios for the reviewing opportunity. Charon’s Staircase (pronounced Karen) takes place in an unidentified (presumably) Eastern European country in the 1970s that will be joining the European Union but wants the totalitarian skeleton in its closet to be erased. This is where agent “Desmond” comes in. Desmond is assigned to retrieve and destroy secret documents relating to human experiments conducted at the Oak Grove estate. Once there Desmond uncovers darker secrets he wishes to share with the world…if he survives. Now onto the game itself! Charon’s Staircase‘s controls are limited as the game focuses mainly on exploring and puzzle-solving. The game is fully voice acted as it’s narrated at points of the game as Desmond tells his story.

Giallo is a genre in Italian cinema, think of Noir films but with horror elements thrown into the story and occasional eroticism… can’t be European (especially Italian) without that right? Now combine that with old folklore from Sardinia and what do you get? You get Saturnalia, a survival horror game where players must uncover the truth in order to survive their stay in an ancient Italian village. I want to give thanks to Santa Ragione for the reviewing opportunity! Saturnalia takes place in an old village on the island of Sardinia where they play as one of four playable characters trying to make sense of the events going on in the village surrounding a mysterious ritual where a horned creature stalks the streets at night. Now onto the game itself. The controls for Saturnalia are limited but surprisingly a tad difficult to grasp at first. At the start of the game, it would have been nice to have a tutorial

CD Projekt Red earlier this month hinted that a game was in the works codenamed “Canis Majoris”. Today CDPR revealed that this secretive project is in fact The Witcher Remake. The remake of the widely popular 2007 RPG that has spawned two sequels, multiple spin-off games, and a TV series is said to be remade from the “ground up” using engine 5 technology with game developer Fool Theory heading it up. Veteran developers who worked on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be working on the remake as well, hopefully easing the anxiety fans might feel hearing about the remake. The Witcher series overall is about a monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia who is known as a Witcher, a monster hunter with supernatural powers, that hunts monsters in a fantasy medieval world. The games are based on the Polish book series of the same name by Andrezej Sapkowski. The game is in

It’s no secret that I was a big fan of A Plague Tale: Innocence with its gripping story, intense puzzles, and of course the large hoard of rats. You can imagine my excitement when I found out that this beautifully twisted coming-of-age story had a sequel. I want to give a big thank you to Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment for letting me give A Plague Tale: Requiem a try! A Plague Tale Requiem picks up where the last game’s story left off with the De Rune siblings, Amicia and Hugo, who are now away from their home region escaping the inquisition that wanted to take Hugo to use his mysterious powers in their favor. Hugo’s condition which seemed to have gone away six months prior has come back, and so have the rats, and Amica must now protect Hugo once again in order to find a way to save him. Now onto the game itself! The controls for Requiem

We had the toys, we used vacuum cleaners as proton packs, we bought toy slime out of capsule machines to pretend it was ectoplasm and wore swimming goggles pretending they were Nightvision headsets. We did whatever we could to feel like a Ghostbuster. May you be a fan of the films or cartoon series growing up, nothing felt more awesome than pretending to hunt ghosts and duel out supernatural justice… well now Illfonic has brought this childhood nostalgia to life in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed! A big thank you to Illfonic for making this review possible as well as fulfilling the dream of seven-year-old me that’s still deep inside. In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed players take on a role of a new recruit that was just hired by Winston Zeddemore (voiced by Ernie Hudson), who has bought back the old firehouse HQ to bring back the Ghostbusters to help rid NYC of ghostly troubles. Winston is not the only Ghostbuster that came

Halloween is right around the corner! You see it everywhere, people setting up their displays outside, turning their living rooms into crypts, getting their costumes, stockpiling candy… that’s fine, but what else can you add to your arsenal of all hallows cheer that you already don’t have? I say neon signs! Lucky for you, Sketch & Etch has you covered with their line of Halloween-themed neon lights! I would like to give a big shout-out to the awesome folks at S&E for helping make this review possible! The neon sign that I got is the try-and-true Jack-o-lantern. With a clear acrylic back and LED Neon tubing, this 15×15 pumpkin puts out a lot of light but with the free dimmer remote that came with it, I can make it as bright as I want, even in daylight the sign glows brightly on its highest setting, still able to draw attention during daylight hours! The sign also came with mounting hardware
