Cyberpunk and Comic books go hand in hand but in a videogame format? In FORECLOSED players are in a cyberpunk world told like a comic book and follows Evan Kapnos who had his identity foreclosed on after a company he was augmented through went bankrupt, not only that, now people from an unknown organization are trying to kill him. Unfortunately, my experience with FORECLOSED was no very good, starting with a bug that would not let the game work for several days, even after the game’s launch, after it somehow started to work, I sort of wished it still hadn’t. To start off with, on a positive note, the animation is unique and the concept of having the game come across as an interactive comic made it intriguing… that’s the extent of the positive notes I have. Though the overall look of the game is supposed to be a “Comic” look, it’s just unappealing texture-wise. The change in views can

It’s no mystery that H.P. Lovecraft liked coffee, it’s actually one of his most know quotes: I like coffee exceedingly” And it’s also ironic that across the spot of Lovecraft’s birthplace at 454 Angell Street in Providence Rhode Island is a Starbucks. So what more could a fan of both Lovecraft and Coffee want? How about The Cup of Cthulhu by Storm Crow a chain of Nerd-Bars in Canada that caters to us who love pop culture and want to break away from the typical bar scene. This insolated travel mug as you can see is a parody of the Starbucks logo (see above the irony). The cup itself is double-walled steel that keeps your drink hot/cold for eons (well a few hours but we can dream right?). The handle on the top is convenient for if your hands are full and you want to loop your finger through it like Cthulhu’s tendril looping through someone’s sanity, the handle as

Zombie games pretty much have the same premise, zombies take over the world, survival is key, fight and scavenge in order to survive. Nothing new right? Well Pixel Split Games, Assemble Entertainment, and WhisperGames changed that by combining rogue-lite elements with silliness that birthed this pixilated strategy, Deadly Days. Deadly Days is a pixilated strategy game where failure can be a good thing as the more you keep trying again, the more you uncover as no playthrough is the same. The game’s story is quite silly, some bad burgers were produced and sold in a fast food restaurant turning people into zombies, you take control of survivors to help battle the hoards of zombies while trying to find the burger joint that caused this apocalypse and destroy it. The controls for Deadly Days are easy to master as they’re quite simple, plus the humorous tutorial at the start helps. The game’s sound designe is relatively simple but the soundtrack is

Halloween will be upon us soon, and you might think it’s too early to be thinking about accessorizing your outfit, you’re wrong! Now’s the time to consider options! May I introduce you to Dark Relics, a site with dark designs that you can wear on your fingers or around your neck! I would like to give a big thank you to Dark Relics for making this review possible! Dark Relics was awesome and sent me three rings to try; the first ring is called The Kraken, or as I call it, “The Cultist”, the ring features a skull with tentacles. The second ring is called, appropriately, Two Ravens, or as I call it, “Odin’s Ravens” after Huginn and Muninn who act as Odin’s eyes, the ring features the pair of ravens wrapped around your finger. Finally, there’s the Davy Jones, or as I call it, you probably already know, “Cthulhu’s Skull”. The ring features a humanoid skull with tentacles flowing

A big thank you to Neon Giant and Curve Digital for the opportunity to review this cyberpunk RPG! If you’re still being burned by a certain cyberpunk game earlier this year or can’t get enough of the cyberpunk aesthetics, then The Ascent is for you! The Ascent takes players to another planet where a corporate-operated city stretches high in the air and is home to millions of workers (more like slaves) to The Ascent Group arcology from all over the galaxy. One day, the company’s systems shut down putting the livelihood of all who live in the city in jeopardy as rival corporate groups and black marketers try to take advantage. I’m letting slide some tech issues as it’s been announced that patches are on the way in August and September but let’s get on to the game itself! This is a third-person shooter where the camera is set at a higher angle so aiming during combat can be slightly

Lovecraft.

After the announcement trailer for the upcoming first-person adventure game BLACKTAIL fans have commented on the music heard in it and made it clear they wanted to hear more. Today developer THE PARASITE has released more information about the game’s soundtrack. The game’s soundtrack will be composed by the award-winning composer Arkadiusz Reikowski who also composed the soundtrack for Layers of Fear 2, Blair Witch, and The Medium where he worked alongside legendary composer Akira Yamaoka. Reilowski had this to say about what fans will be expecting to hear: In BLACKTAIL, a combination of dreamlike, Slavic themes, and modern motifs is unheard of, and allows us to create something truly unique, something that has not been previously seen in the videogame industry.
