‘Call Of Cthulhu’ Pre-Order Now On Sale

Focus Home Interactive is having a massive sale on many of their games for a limited time, October 16th – October 22nd. You can save upwards to 80% on some titles, I highly recommend “Vampyr” as its 50% off for this limited time! For us Lovecraft fans, the highly anticipated role-playing horror game “Call of Cthulhu: The official Video Game” is available for pre-order but for a limited time the price is down 10%, which in hindsight is some decent wiggle room. Don’t worry, the sale is also on for PS4 fans as well. “Call of Cthulhu: The official Video Game” takes players on a journey into madness as they play as a private detective named Edward Pierce who is investigating the mysterious deaths of the members of the Hawkins family and discovers something otherworldly and darker is at play. The game will be out October 30th on all gaming platforms.

Ninja Theory Creates “Senua’s Scholarship” After Their Video Game Heroine

It’s no big secret; I love “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice”, the dark fantasy video game by Ninja Theory struck a chord with many players as it deals with the sensitive subject of mental health, uniquely through the eyes of a young woman back in early human history during the time of Celts and Vikings. In order to make the symptoms of Senua’s psychosis authentic, Ninja Theory consulted with Mental Health experts as well as individuals who actually are going through treatment for the illness. Because of this delicate attention to detail, “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” to date has won 19 awards! Proceeds of the sale of the game went towards charities involving mental health but now Ninja Theory has taken it a step further, by creating a scholarship that will fund training for mental health tutors at the CPFT Recovery College East who played a big role in helping with research for the game, the scholarship is appropriately named “Senua’s Scholarship”.

Xbox One Review: ‘Amnesia Collection’ PART 1

I’ve wanted to review the new “Amnesia Collection” that’s out now on Xbox One, but I wanted to give the main game “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” a fair review since it’s been out for years and many opinions and reviews were already made about it, so here we go. You play as a man named Daniel, an explorer who awakens in a castle with no memory of how he got there but finds a trail of liquid that he follows and soon discovers clues to his past. He was cursed after an encounter with a mystical orb on an expedition. As the curse of a shadow haunts him he seeks help from a baron named Alex, who’s been experimenting with the orbs that have otherworldly powers that either allows those in control of it to travel different plains of existence or immortality. Through exploring the castle, Daniel learns what he and Alex have done in their quest to control the

Future of ‘Telltale’s The Walking Dead’ Uncertain After Shakeup

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”. Friday started with 250 employees and ended with 225 seeking employment elsewhere. Due to the sudden “Red Wedding” surprise has now put the remainder of TWD final season in jeopardy as episode 2 will be coming out in a couple of days.

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

‘Bendy And The Ink Machine’ Coming To Xbox One And PlayStation 4

You may have heard of him or at least have seen his cheery black and tan face in the toy aisle at stores, Bendy. Some know who he is and others may not but soon many more will get to know this little guy as he’s coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this October! Don’t let his smiling mug and the whimsical title of his game, “Bendy and the Ink Machine” fool you, the Disneyesque façade of this story is pure horror survival!

After arriving Henry soon realizes that something is wrong with the studio as there’s no one around, ink is splattered everywhere and the characters from the animated films the studio is famed for are alive, some of which are hell-bent on killing.

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. In the start you will be given the choice

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

‘GUTS’ Coming To PS4 & Xbox One This Fall

Flux Game Studio’s fighting game splattering the PC gaming scene “GUTS” is now being developed for consoles this fall, this comes in light of some major updates to the PC version as well. The game is a lot (and not) like traditional fighting arcade games, with the exception that under its cartoonish appearance it’s ultra-bloody. “GUTS” is a game show (not to be confused with the 90’s Nickelodeon game show!) where fighters fight to the bloody end using unique fighting styles leading up to using your GUTS finisher. As the characters fight, they’ll lose limbs which won’t stop them as there are unique fighting moves associated with missing limbs! The comedic animations along with the outlandish violence confirm the developers claim that the game is a “Tarantino-style” game. Keep an eye out this fall as “GUTS” comes to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
