I'm looking forward to The Evil Within 2. The first game had plenty of issues, but I dug the way it blended a bunch of horror influences to make a batshit crazy story that never stopped to see if the player was paying attention. Plus, its u...   read

Retroid is recording its fifth episode tonight, and we'll be talking about retro horror games. I'm not very familiar with the topic myself, but I'm bringing in three experts, so we're switching the cast up quite a bit this week. I'll b...   read

Bethesda's The Evil Within 2 reveal at E3 went about as smoothly as anyone could hope for. There was a well-produced trailer, a description of the plot, and a release date. Probably most important, there was a thirst from fans for...   read

Ch...ch...ch... Ah...ah...ah... Somehow I’ve made it through life without viewing a single Friday the 13th movie, yet after playing this game I feel it’s probably unnecessary (see what I did there above??). Kickstarted back in O...   read

Resident Evil 7 is a very good game, and it's one of 2017's most pleasant surprises so far. After so many years of not quite delivering what Resident Evil fans want, Capcom took things in a new direction and gave the series new li...   read
