Legendary Stunt Man Alan MacFarlane Faces the Undead in ‘Zombie Golf’

For decades, film fans have watched Alan MacFarlane dodge explosions, take brutal hits, and fill out movie frames. All without ever learning his name.

This makes him an absolute legend.

Game Review: ‘End of Abyss’

If Little Nightmares and Dead Space had a baby, it would be Section 9’s End of Abyss, hands down. Over time, I’ve become not-so-much of a fan of top-down games, but this one has won me over. I want to thank Section 9 and Epic Games for the review opportunity and for restoring my faith in top-down games. End of Abyss is a top-down atmospheric dark sci-fi action-adventure where you play as Cel, a combat technician sent deep into an underground facility to uncover what’s happened to those inside and what’s trying to reach her. Now, onto the game itself! The controls for End of Abyss will take a little getting used to, but after a little time, you’ll get used to them. Headphones are a must for this, as they’ll help immerse yourself into the dark world the story is taking you into, along with helping you hear what’s crawling in the dark… There is no true “spoken dialogue,” as the

Garris echoed that praise, describing it as an over-the-top, unrelenting celebration of practical special effects that horror purists are bound to admire.
