My Silent Hill 2 Fan Theory

To be clear, nothing about the following theory necessarily negates any of the other possibilities: that Silent Hill is actually hell or purgatory, that Mary is dead in the backseat of James’ car the whole time, that everyone is dead, buried next to each other in a cemetery, stuck in a loop like ghosts trying

Silent Hill 2 Remake Review

Bloober Team absolutely nailed this remake. And unlike a lot of people apparently, I had no concerns about that. In fact, not only did I not have any apprehension about that, I was actually excited when I heard the news that they were the team working on it a few years back. I’m not sure

Amanda the Adventurer Review

Children’s stories, toys, TV shows, and often children themselves have had the ability to unnerve adults for decades (if not hundreds of years), but I’m not sure exactly when “Evil Kid’s TV Shows” became the trend it is now. Certainly, it’s been around since the creepypasta that inspired Channel Zero at least. In any case,

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Delightful Review

Dead Rising is just one of those games I saw release way back when, thought it looked fun, but just never played it for whatever reason, until now. It always looked like wacky arcade-style fun, and it does have that, but I was surprised to learn that it’s a fully open world game with an

Gray Dawn Review

Gray Dawn is another great example of how games can be simple, small, self-contained stories, and still be worth playing. It’s definitely a different speed that not all gamers will appreciate, but if you like walking simulators, I think this one will be enjoyable for you. This game is more religious than any other game

Dredge Review

While I’d certainly heard about the game, I didn’t really have any expectations going in. I didn’t even watch a trailer for the game first. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the game is great, charming and enchanting during the day, and absolutely terrifying at night. It probably goes a long way that my

Alan Wake and the Remedy Connected Universe

Considering just how important Alan Wake is to me, it’s hard to believe it took me so long to write about it. To try and give you an idea of how much I like Alan Wake, you have to understand that it’s not just a top-10 video game for me, but a top-10 storytelling experience

The Debate Continues: Is Physical Media Going Away?

The short answer is of course “No,” physical media will never go away entirely. However, as with most things, the truth is more nuanced and it’s definitely naive to ignore the way things have been trending over the past decade. You can’t stop progress. New technology always has and always will change the landscape of

A Quick Glance at Texas Chain Saw Massacre DLC

Find review of the full game here. New maps, family, victims, executions, outfits, and weapon skins, but they ain’t cheap. Fortunately, I get review copies for free, but if I had to pay, I don’t think I would. I understand the base game is only $40 and it isn’t cheap to maintain an online game

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Game Review

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre comes to us from the same developer of Friday the 13th, Gun Media. Despite one major deviation from the structure of Friday the 13th, if you enjoyed that game, you’ll probably enjoy this one too. That major deviation comes in the form of taking the asymmetrical 1v7 style and going
