Resident Evil 7

The end result is a bit more like old Resident Evil than people may have imagined, and in the best way possible. One could find a lot of cause to compare this sequel to the reboot of Doom. It captures the spirit of old Resident Evil games and brings it forward in a modern, fresh direction. For those who may have felt betrayed by Resident Evil 6’s heavy action leanings, Resident Evil 7 is for you. You star as Ethan, a man on the hunt for his wife Mia. Thought to be dead, he receives an email from her three years later telling him to find her at Baker Plantation in Louisiana. Nothing strange about that, of course. Ethan heads off in order to find Mia. One has to wonder what first goes... Read More

The scene was set and I was ready for things to get real scary, real fast. Sadly, this excitement never came to fruition. The premise of the game is... Read More

SLENDERMAN: THE ARRIVAL

SLENDERMAN: THE ARRIVAL

Slenderman originally debuted a few years ago on PC and has created quite a following thanks to the tall, skinny character that has its own mythology outside of video games. However, it hasn't really had a chance to make an impact on consoles until now, with Midnight City picking up the publishing rights. And while the game still has a couple of good scares here and there, it just isn't quite the same beast as it was a few years ago. Something's sorely missing. Keep Calm And Slender In the game, you portray a guy who makes his way through a dark locale, trying to locate certain documents that go into more detail about the back story. Of course, as you might guess, things... Read More
