Interview With ‘COLINA: Legacy”s Composers Matthew Carl Earl & Jason Walsh Of Hexany Audio

Recently Chance6 Studios released their psychological horror game “COLINA: Legacy” on Steam. The game follows a young man named Alex who woke up alone in his grandmother’s house and realizes that things are not right. The story calls back to survival horror games from the past and mixes it with escape room puzzles all the while facing the unknown. One thing can make or break a good movie or video game, the soundtrack. When you want the best for your music you go to the best to get it done, this is where Hexany Audio comes in. You may not know the name but you most likely heard their work. Hexany Audio has done sound design, music composition, and voice-over recordings for companies like Disney, Google, Apple, SONY, Nike, Ubisoft, and Activision just to name a few! I was honored to interview two of Hexany Audio’s composers who worked on “COLINA: Legacy”, Matthew Carl Earl, lead composer and co-owner of

Rym Games is bringing a whole new level of terror to the Psychological Horror genre in gaming with “The Conjuring House” (no way related to the film series) that came out on September 25th.

Just like the sudden and dramatic exit of your favorite character on “The Walking Dead”, the same shocking end has come to the developers of “Telltale’s The Walking Dead” as of this afternoon around 90% of staff was laid off from Telltale Games, the developer of the hit TWD games, and “The Wolf Among Us”.

Video Game Review Double Feature! ‘Layers Of Fear’ & ‘>Observer_’ For Xbox One

Recently I wrote an article about the bundling of the two horror narrative games, “Layers of Fear” and “>Observer_”. The games’ developer Bloober Team gave me access to play both of their groundbreaking games for one epic review! Since this is a double review, I’m splitting the games up to avoid confusion and the last couple of paragraphs will be my final thoughts on both games. “Layers of Fear” is about a painter in the midst of the mental breakdown and his obsession over his latest art piece that he hopes will put him back on top. After you start looking at your latest work, that’s when the terror starts. As you explore the house, hallucinations begin to take over of paint drenched hallways, malformed specters, and artifacts that reflect your troubled past as you try to explore for answers only have your senses toyed with by the other side. There are times you have to do some problem solving

A Noob Playing An ARPG: Review Of ‘Shadows: Awakening’ For Xbox One

Just recently Kalypso Media and Games Farm brought a new twist on the RPG gameplay to consoles in the form of “Shadows: Awakening”. I’ve played RPGs before but not your traditional ones, so I was pretty excited when I was given the chance to review this interactive artwork! As the title of this review states, I’m a noob (newbie) to this type of game but for my fellow RPG noobs out there, this is a great startup to the genre! “Shadows: Awakening” follows a Demon summoned by a mysterious mage to help combat a growing threat that’s about to be unleashed in the Heretic Kingdoms after members of the secret society Penta Nera were assassinated! The Demon can’t go on this quest alone and needs the help of “puppets”, People who were once alive and players can choose to come back from the dead to live again and aide the Demon.

Enjoy Your Trip! Game Review Of ‘Elea’ For Xbox One

Not long ago I talked about the upcoming surreal sci-fi game “Elea”. The game’s developers, Kyodai and Sodesco were kind enough to allow me the chance to review the game early before its September 6th release. The game itself is an episodic adventure telling the story of Elea, who’s on a journey through space to find her husband who’s gone missing along with his crewmates on a mission to find a new planet to colonize and now his ship was found but is mysteriously going through a quarantine procedure. After completing the first chapter it should be noted that the story I’ve played will be updated on launch day with a different beginning since I don’t know exactly how much of a change there will be, I’ll forgo focusing too much on the narrative I encountered in my playthrough. The main thing that blew me away was the graphics! Nicely detailed and textured, the colors are amazing and fit well
