Things haven’t gone so well with Red Candle Games’ Devotion. Since its release earlier this month, the Taiwanese game was criticized by China for apparently mocking Chinese president Xi Jinping. That quickly led to a massive review bombing of the game on Steam that quickly spread to the first game in the series, Detention. And […]
We’re still waiting on the return of the Xbox’s other flagship franchise in Gears of War 5 (as well as the long-in-development film adaptation). The trailer for GoW5 was revealed last year at E3 with a 2019 release date, but we’ve heard nothing since then. But now, head of Xbox Phil Spencer has given us […]
Having debuted last Halloween on the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and PS Vita platforms, Aksys Games’ Death Mark will soon be making the transition to PC. With a classic J-Horror set-up, reminiscent of Ju-on or Ringu, the game’s central mystery revolves around a fatal omen that takes the form of an inexplicable bite mark. According […]
Since it bears repeating, Fallout 76 has had a rough go since its release. Bethesda knows it, and appears to have addressed it with their newly-unveiled Roadmap for 2019. Broken into seasons, the first update for this year begins with “Wild Appalachia” (which includes the previously-announced Survival Mode) coming in March on a rolling schedule. […]
Battle Royale loot shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (aka PUBG) is doing pretty well for itself on mobile (like 30 million daily active users and 200 million downloads in just eight months kinda well) , but like any long-running live service game, it needs some juicy events to keep players coming back or indeed to entice curious newcomers. So […]
Longtime fans of Resident Evil probably know the story about the first game’s opening cutscene, and how it was chopped for the North American and European releases. And how the Director’s Cut release mistakenly never included the uncut version of it, yet ironically the PC port of the game ended up with the uncut scene […]
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Yeah, the ending was clichéd, but dammit, the slow-motion ability, combined with some beefy weapons and slick graphics made for some fun times. And yes, this was also […]
It’s often posited that ‘’familiarity breeds contempt’’. This maxim is especially true in the horror genre, where overexposure can reduce once-menacing-killers and grotesque monsters into irritating nuisances. For evidence of this phenomenon, look no further than Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees: previously-intimidating slashers who have become so ingrained in pop-culture, that their appearances have been […]
With EA’s Anthem launching in just a few days (and with that Neil Blomkamp trailer still fresh in our minds), the developer has revealed a little bit more about what it has in mind for the post-launch future of the title. Anthem will be supported by three “acts.” The first act is set to go […]
In our Far Cry New Dawn review, Bloody Disgusting discovers that the New Dawn rocks, but doesn’t exactly prove to be a new day for post-apocalyptic shooters. If you’re anything like me, you’ll play the majority of Far Cry New Dawn with Timber, the doggo, by your side. It’s not that the rest of the […]
