Recently, decided to start a new run in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. I’d already finished the game once last year, so figured I’d already know what was in store for me this time around. That is, I would know if I played the game on “normal” again and didn’t bump it up to “Madhouse” difficulty….
An Absolute Mad-Lad is Bringing Ray-Tracing to N64 Games on PC
For those of us who grew up with the likes of the N64 and Gamecube, it’s really not difficult to enjoy the old games as they are. It’s how we remember them after all. Still, there’s no denying that these games are getting older with each passing day, and are thus looking more and more…
Square Enix President Says Japanese Games Shouldn’t Follow Western Trends
If you’ve been playing games for a while, then you’ve likely noticed how many games wind up feeling the same.

Vampyr Looks Even Better (Spookier?) on PS5 and PS4 Pro Now
When it launched in 2018, Vampyr was already a decent-looking game. It wasn’t pushing the envelope of visuals, but it didn’t look bad either. If anything, its art style and visual fidelity actually served the overall feel of the game, that of hopelessness and melancholy in a completely exhausted and plague-ridden London. The game could…
