After more than a year of speculation as to what the ending of Resident Evil 8: Village actually means, and after several months since the Winters’ Expansion was announced, fans will finally be getting their answers at the end of this month. To prepare for this next (and possibly last) major piece of DLC, Capcom…

To Play on Hard or Not to Play on Hard?
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….
Resonance: ‘Go Tell Aunt Rhody’
Usually when we talk about video game music, we talk about music that’s actually in the game and part of the soundtrack. I mean, typically it’s the only music that’s associated with a given game so it’s really the only option. There are special cases though, and Michael Levene’s version of “Go Tell Aunt Rhody”…
Hatmonster’s 2021 Game of the Year
I don’t know about you, but I always struggle to recall what all I’ve played each year. It’s not that good games don’t leave an impression, rather it’s more that I play so many different ones (and talk about so many more) that it’s easy to lose track of them. Not to worry though, I’ve…
Resident Evil Village is a Decent Action/Horror Hybrid
After finally getting around to playing Resident Evil 7, I was very much looking forward to seeing what Capcom would do with Resident Evil 8. I absolutely loved the tension-filled corridors of the Baker house in the previous game, so I was initially disappointed when it was announced that Village would be more like Resident…
Resident Evil 7 HAS UNLOCKABLES!!
I recently finished my first playthrough of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and I have to say that I kinda wish I hadn’t sat on it for so long. Its savory combination of tension, puzzles and exploration wound up being something I’d been looking for for quite awhile now, and it took actually finding it to…
Diving Into Resident Evil 7 (Finally)
For the longest time, I’ve lived as a quasi-fan of the Resident Evil series. With the exception of Resident Evil 6, I’ve always found myself excited whenever a new one was announced and more than happy to watch friends play through them. However, I’ve never been of a mind to actually play a Resident Evil…
Make the Fear Real
Silence. Nothing but silence and the ever-present, inky darkness. I’m still standing somehow, but I have no idea where I am. I’m tempted to stop and figure-out what happened, but that’ll need to wait. My oxygen is running low, and I can only proceed at a slow walk. If I don’t get moving right now,…
REVII: From Trailer to Launch
It’s official: Resident Evil is scary again! Even if it is borrowing a bit from the likes of Amnesia and Outlast, but there’s no denying that Resident Evil is finally delivering the scares its fans have been wanting for so many years. This shouldn’t really be coming as a shock since so much of the game’s…
Monsters Are Better Left to the Imagination
Monsters are a classic horror staple, both onscreen and off. They’re everything horrible that one can imagine, a dark and twisted force of nature, bent on nothing less than the grisly murder humankind, of the innocent and of guilty. Monsters are the embodiment of fear itself, absolutely terrifying yet indescribable.
