Project Dark Is Six Games You Can Play With Your Eyes Closed

Shows like PAX East can be pretty overwhelming. Every inch of the expo floor is filled with new and exciting games fighting to grab your attention with giant displays and flashy demos.

Redfall Is The Latest Example Of Games Chasing Dead Trends

Everything moves in trends. Things are in, then things are out. We see it in fashion, movies, television, animation, sport, and video games. A few years ago, every cartoon had eyes like that (you know what I mean), and then we all hated them, so new ones don’t. High waisted is in, then low wasted is in. We want sequels, then cinematic universes, then standalone adventures. Teams play four at the back, then three at the back, then four with one inverted full back....

Resident Evil 4's Leon Kennedy Is The Ultimate Himbo

I’m spending my weekend with a very beautiful (but very stupid) man named Leon Kennedy. While he’s not my all-time favouriteResident Evilcharacter - thatis and always will be Ada Wong- Leon represents my favourite kind of video game hero. As games have begun to take themselves more seriously and trended into darkness, our heroes have become gruff and stoic, barking or muttering lines about their disinterest in their ongoing quest. That, or they push further and just becomehorrible and unpleasant, as was the case with Atomic Heart....

Resident Evil 4’s Microtransactions Are A Disgusting Act Of Duplicity

Capcomis a cheeky little bugger. By that I mean the publisher has added abunch of microtransactionstoResident Evil 4Remake as part of the Mercenaries Update. The Horde mode is free and comes with a bunch of extra content, and always has been, so it’s hollow to excuse the sudden presence of gross optional purchases as part of the usual package.
