Destiny is a franchise that gets too much flak. It reminds me of the kind of treatment that games like Call of Duty and Fortnite receive, because while not bad, most critics hate the idea of what they are, and rightfully so. But Destiny deserves some credit – the graphics are reality breaking, the gameplay addicting once you’re sucked in and the loot, ok we gu
E3 2019 has come to a close, and as usual, the event featured a staggering number of games on display, including some promising horror games. With no new Capcom announcement as was rumored, the horror genre was a bit underrepresented compared to previous years, but there were still quite a few impressive horror titles at the s
The shift between video game morality when the first Fable game released — all the way back in September 2004 — and now has been massive. Fable 2025 trailer helped lay the foundation for morality as a central factor in games, and watching a character slowly grow horns as they fall further into evil is still neat, but it has far less weight than what fans expect to see
The funny part being that this score makes it equal to Fallout 4, a game many fans consider one of the worst (although it ain’t too shabby if you ask us). Still, this is one of the classics in modern gaming and still receives so much support from the community. So an 84 ain’t cutting
Alongside games like Knights of the Old Republic , which featured its own morality system with a light side and dark side meter, black-and-white moral systems were fairly common in a game, adding an additional layer of depth to individual characters. It was an early blueprint for what was to come, providing ways for players to impact a game’s narrative, at least to a degree, with decision making, but not quite having the effect on entire worlds like fans see in more modern ga
Due to the highly-publicized fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out in a brutally unfinished state. One can see where work stopped on the title’s story and it was rushed out to mar
Life and death are inevitable parts of existence. All things born will eventually leave this place, and while no one quite knows where they go, traces of their time on Earth linger after they leave. This doesn’t solely apply to living beings, eit
Dying Light 2 was seen in a couple of different press conferences at E3 2019, with both highlighting its parkour action and threatening undead hordes. Besides learning that Dying Light 2 is aiming for a spring 2020 release, we also found out that it will place a much higher emphasis on player choice. In fact, the developers estimate that someone’s first run through Dying Light 2 will only allow them to see half of the game because of
An overall score of 85 ain’t bad if we’re talking games like Fallout 4 or maybe Modern Warefare, but South Park The Stick of Truth is a masterpiece, fan of the show or not. It’s one of the best of its genre – something that is on the level of games like Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 and Witche
Just like Until Dawn featured some Hollywood star power, so too does The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan , with Shawn Ashmore playing one of the lead roles, alongside Pip Torrens. The first game in a new horror anthology series , The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan looks to deliver very similar gameplay to Until Dawn , but with a new ghost ship setting and a new cast of characters, it should still feel like a fresh experience when it launches on August
Fable 3 is one of those games that makes you think “why, why isn’t this game good?” Any Xbox owner back in the early-to-mid 2000s would’ve told you that the Fable franchise could contend with the greats. And all it needed was a crowing third game to solidify this franchise as one of the best – but, that never c
One of the more surprising moments during Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference was the announcement of a Blair Witch video game . Based on the blockbuster found-footage horror movie series, Blair Witch benefits from being developed by Bloober Team, the studio behind hit horror games like Layers of Fear and Observer . Featuring first-person psychological horror front and center, Blair Witch looks to carry on the tradition of those titles, and even better yet, horror fans only have to wait until August 30 to get their hands on the g
A rebooted Fable that returns the franchise to the fantasy world of its first entry allows the developer to turn back the clock on the series for a true reboot. It also helps Fable stay in that Breath of the Wild territory while letting Fable excel with its own unique style and tone for which it is kn
Originally due for release this past March, The Sinking City was delayed to June 27. This gave the game one last opportunity to be shown off at E3, where it made an appearance during the Kinda Funny Games Showcase. The Sinking City looks to blend detective gameplay as seen in the Sherlock Holmes series with Lovecraftian horror, which is a concept that seems to have plenty of potential. With The Sinking City due out by the end of the month , horror game fans don’t have to wait too much longer to find out if it’s able to deliver on its promising prem
