I’ve long been of the opinion graphics don’t really matter, certainly not of much as they used to. You could have the most realistic or high fidelity game ever made and it’d still be garbage if the gameplay is no good (see: The Callisto Protocol). However, this isn’t to say that visuals don’t matter at…

Spooktober: The Many Traumas of Outer Wilds
Outer Wilds is a fantastic game where you discover the mysteries of your galaxy, while a supernova occurs every 22 minutes. (And time travel is involved or else it would be a very short game indeed). Nothing else can truly compare, making this one of my favorite games of all time. There’s just one teensy,…
Spooktober 2025: The Terrifying Brilliance of RE7’s Video Tapes
It might be because I’ve been playing and discussing games for so long now, but I find myself wandering back to the same games every time the spooky season rolls around. I play new stuff constantly, horror games included, but I suppose it just takes a lot for something to really stick now. Anyway, I…

Spooktober 2025: Resonance – Moondrop
In the not-too-distant past, I completed my first ever FNAF game: Security Breach, and its DLC, Ruin. While probably not the best entry points for the series as far as understanding its lore and characters goes, I found the experience to be mostly enjoyable and suitably weird and creepy. I was surprised by jump scares…
Xbox Hardware Mostly Unavailable in Europe
In a past news post, I speculated that Microsoft secretly wants out of the console business and is purposely driving customers away from Xbox in order to make the move less messy. It’s only my pet theory, but I think it’d go a long way towards explaning the baffling string of decisions made regarding the…
Spooktober: Just How Far Will the Aberrations in Dredge Spread?
Whereas some horror games have you getting chased by terrifying monstrosities that scream and moan as they shuffle or outright bolt after you, the horror of Dredge is far more understated. In fact, the game could almost appear relaxing on the surface. You play as a new fisherman who just moved to the island of…
Spooktober: The Absolute Terror of Outlast Endures 11 Years Later
I’ve been a horror game fan for a very long time, probably since the days of the original Dead Space on Xbox 360. If horror or even just spooky themes count, then it’s even longer, going back all the way to the likes of Ghostly Grove or Haunted Hall in Donkey Kong Country 2. Spooky…

Spooktober 2025: Blue Prince’s (E)state of Madness
Have you ever visited or heard about the Winchester Mystery House? Located in northern California, it’s a massive Victorian home that was built and built onto over the course of more than three decades, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Its owner was Sarah Winchester, heir to the famed Winchester arms fortune. What…
