There’s very little to complain about when it comes to Bloober Team and Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake. The atmosphere is just as creepy, disquieting and often uneasy as it was in the original. The haunted town’s famous fog still creates a solid sense of claustrophobia and the changes actually make sense for the most…

It’s Better Not to Linger in The Nether
As Spooktober marches on and the horror continues to surround, I find my thoughts turning to Minecraft. For the most part, it’s a pretty chill and lighthearted game. You just mine your stuff and build up whatever projects you can dream up. Sure, the nights are dangerous and the caves can be spooky, but otherwise…
Larian Dev Calls Out Scalpers Over BG3 Collector’s Edition
Whenver something is available in only limited quantities, be it concert tickets, special editions, shoes or collector’s items, you can be certain that scalpers will be there to ruin the fun for everyone. Sneaker fans and concert goers have been dealing with it for years and years, and it’s become an ever-growing issue in the…
The Horror That Surrounds: We Don’t Go To Vault 22
Despite being almost comedic a lot of the time, the Fallout universe nonetheless hosts more than a few downright creepy locations. Fallout 3’s Vault 108 and its legion of Garys is one. Basically the entirety of Point Lookout is another, and you could say The Sierra Madre in Fallout: New Vegas thanks to its combination…
Alien Isolation 2 Confirmed in Development!
After 10 years of thinking that Creative Assembly’s brilliant survival-horror, Alien: Isolation, was doomed to forever be a one-off, fans got an awesome surprise earlier this week: an official announcement from the developers themselves that a sequel is in the works.
The Horror That Surrounds: The Suffocating Anxiety of Deepnest
For the most part, Hollow Knight isn’t exactly a scary game. Sure, the bosses might make you fear for your life at times, but most of the rest of the experience is quite atmospheric and even relaxing. There is one pretty big exception to this though, an area of the map that can and will…
PS5 UI Update Reportedly Brought Unwanted Ads With It
So, earlier this month, Sony rolled out a UI update for the PS5. Its main feature is a customizable home screen that’ll display different things based on how users are interested in seeing and how they arrange it. However, it seems it’s also come with the unwanted addition of ads in a manner somewhat similar…
I Wish I Had More Pepper Grinder
My intial plan for this weekend’s game time had been to fight for the glory of the empreror in Space Marine 2 with a buddy of mine, but they were unexpectedly busy, which left me to find another game to play. Fortunately, Pepper Grinder was on sale, so I snapped it up since I’d actuallly…
Steam Reaches New Record for Concurrent Players
It seems that Steam only continues to grow as the years wear on rather than diminish as so many other platforms do. It’s doing so regardless of growing amounts of competition from the likes of Epic Games Store and the various publisher-centric services. It’s quite increible how much staying power Valve’s platform has, being strong…
Black Myth: Wukong – Final Thoughts at Journey’s End
Last time I spoke about Black Myth: Wukong, I did so mostly to rant a bit about boss de- sign and how a couple of bosses in particular really went against the game’s combat system. At the time, I was a bit fearful that I was going into more and more janky bosses, but, thankfully,…
