Game Review: ‘Zombie Army 4: Dead War’ Is Way Too Much Fun!

There is no way I can stay calm and professional about this game… Rebellion just took the whole Nazi-Zombie killing genre of gaming to a whole new level of blood splattering Nazi-killing goodness in their latest game Zombie Army 4: Dead War, the latest in their “Zombie Army” franchise. To put it bluntly, this game is what happens when Sniper Elite (another game by Rebellion), Left 4 Dead, and Call of Duty Zombies all had a wild night together in a closet at an awesome party which resulted in the birth of this game! This game continues the story of the previous games; I’ll admit I never played them but the introduction at the start of the game breaks it down perfectly so you don’t feel like to miss anything. You’re part of a global resistance movement that’s fighting back against the hoard of undead Nazis that were unleashed by Hitler as he was losing the war, at the time

The Sun Sets On ‘The Terror: Infamy’

The season finally AMC’s horror anthology series, “The Terror” ended on a high note with its second season titled “Infamy” that took place during the events of the Second World War when American citizens of Japanese descent were forced into internment camps as the American government feared that they would aid the Empire of Japan from within. After watching all the episodes here’s my spoiler-free look at The Terror: Infamy. First off, unlike the first season, this season’s story is original and right from the get-go, it pulls you in with the creepiness! As much as I loved the first season, it’s kind of boring in comparison with this one as there’s a lot of buildup with brief moments of horror followed up by more exposition. In this season, the story is being told as the action unfolds. I should also note that there are moments where the characters speak Japanese and there are subtitles, thankfully these moments are timed

Ghastly Souvenirs: Episode 4 Of ‘The Terror: Infamy’ Touches On War Time Horror

WARNING: The following article contains images that are considered disturbing. Last night’s episode of The Terror: Infamy is picking up the horror factor and living up to my expectations! But something from the episode titled “The Weak Are Meat”, stood out towards the beginning of the episode that’s quickly forgotten as the action picks up. In this scene, this season’s protagonist, Chester (Derek Mio) is escorted through the scene of a recent battle and as he passes by a tent, we see a Marine carving a human shinbone and as we pass by through Chester’s eyes we see a human skull wearing an Imperial Japanese military cap on a stick. This is based on historical fact. Leading up to war with Japan and the eventual internment of Japanese Americans, a dehumanizing campaign began on the home front in response to reported war crimes in China by Japanese troops during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) and the colonization of Korea (1910-1941).

Before you watch the season premiere tomorrow, there are some details that you should really know if you want to understand a couple of big plot points for the show. I’ve mentioned some things in a past article about The Terror: Infamy but I’ll go a bit into detail this time so you can look like a smarty pants while watching the show and explain things to your friends or family if they say they don’t understand what’s going on. First, just like the previous season, the story was inspired by true historical events. The title of the second season “Infamy” is most likely in reference to President F.D. Roosevelt’s

Preview: Sniper Elite V2 Remastered

Rebellion was awesome enough to send me a preview of their upcoming game, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered for the Xbox One. This remastered version of the game is chock-full of goodies for any fan of sniper games, or for someone like me who’s played the original game. This third-person shooter will take you behind enemy lines towards the end of the Second World War as an OSS operative and sniper. You can go in guns blazing or (my preferred method) stealthy and keeping the enemy as far away as your sniper scope can zoom. You can lone wolf it or bring a friend to back you up. This game is a lot of fun to play, you can set traps to cover your escape, place explosives for you to snipe, and you can hone your sniper skills (depending on the difficulty). The best part is when you shoot your rifle, there’s a cinematic scene where you follow the bullet to

Hans Asperger: Autism’s Dr. Jekyll And Nazi Mr. Hyde

WARNING: The following information and images may be disturbing to some In a shocking twist that would be something out of a Hitchcock film, Hans Asperger, the Austrian Pediatrician, Medical Theorist, and a professor was on the wrong side of history, make that, the darkest wrong side of history. Though Asperger is known and celebrated for his research in childhood autism and discovering the higher functioning spectrum of it which was named after him (Asperger Syndrome), he was involved in a dark chapter in history many are not aware of, Action T4. On April 19, 2018, Molecular Autism published their findings after eight years of peer review concluding that Asperger, who has said in the past that he defended his patients against the Nazis, in fact, partook in Action T4 (Aktion T4) the systematically forced euthanasia of mentally handicapped children. Asperger himself did not actively murder any of his patients but referred them to one of eight euthanasia sites, Am

Is It Time For A Real ‘Call Of Duty Zombies’ Game?

Call of Duty has been one of the most influential and successful video game franchises out there. You say the name and most people know what you’re talking about, but the last few years it seems many fans shrug at the mention of the game or talk down about it now regardless of what critics say about the games. What official critics say and the stats showing the sales of games are one thing but the biggest concern is, are the fans happy with the games? For years the game’s roots were mainly entwined in World War II but then ‘Activision’ left the past and came into a more modern era with Modern Warfare (2007) which seemed to have re-spark interest with old fans and opened the door for new fans. Not long afterward fans were taken into an alternate historical reality with Black Ops (2010) which eventually took the series towards more of a futuristic approach, but it was
