Originally announced in 2020 and forecast for release in 2021, the game went dark for long enough for fans to worry it had met its end. An announcement from Paradox finally admitted they had taken the project away from Hardsuit Labs, and that its development would be undertaken by a different studio. After a few more years of radio silence, fans gave up hope until another announcement in September 2023 proved that the game has awoken from torpor and will release in 2

Though it is a sequel by name, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not a sequel by nature, taking place in a different city and allowing players to don the fangs of a different vampire. Set in Seattle, players take on the role of a freshly awoken elder vampire, able to choose from four of the vampire clans from the pen-and-paper RPG , with more likely released as DLC following the game's rele

March and April may not hold as many options as previous months, but there are still quite a few good picks available. Suits returns to USA; Whose Line Is It Anyway? proves what works, works (even on the CW); PBS finally premieres the BBC mini-series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven; Orphan Black returns to BBC America; and Game of Thrones season 4 premieres… at some po

Half-Life was undeniably one of Valve's greatest successes , introducing players to the crowbar-wielding Gordon Freeman and Black Mesa, the research facility where he worked. A sequel seemed like it was inevitable to capitalize on the success of the first slg game units, and thus began the troubled development of Half-Life

When it comes to video games, the horror genre has had its ups and downs. There was a period of time where horror games were virtually non-existent, but thanks to popular games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill , they became an important part of the industry. The rise of online multiplayer and games like Call of Duty saw developers move away from horror games, but then the success of indie horror games led to a mainstream resurgence that we're still seeing to

What should be a relatively uneventful job takes a turn for the demented, as the player is harassed and pursued by animatronic animals that appear to be possessed. It may rely heavily on jump scares, but there's no denying Five Nights at Freddy 's ability to genuinely scare its fans, and it's all backed up by some interesting, expansive, and surprisingly deep l

The phrase ‘development hell’ is one that is likely to send shivers down the spines of gamers everywhere. When games face severe delays during the development process with no finite end date in sight, it is often a death knell, resulting in the cancelation of some very ambitious proje

It may be a little on the cheesy side, but The Evil Within 2 is still a step above the original game in almost every way imaginable. Refining the Resident Evil 4 -style of survival-horror, The Evil Within 2 offers some classic horror action combined with open world sections that help it stand apart from other games in the genre. As we noted in our review for The Evil Within 2 , the game is easily one of the best survival-horror games in years, and even those disappointed by the first one may want to give the sequel a s

Your goal is to fix five generators in the level that will power the door leading to safety and get out. The levels are procedurally generated each time, though, so you’re never going to be able to memorize the layout and map the most efficient routes; you’re going to need to balance exploration with stealth in order to find the generators without getting spotted and winding up on one of the killer’s meat hooks. Every time you run, you leave a trail through the woods the killer will see and follow straight to you, so when you’re looking around, tread lightly. Fixing a generator doesn’t require much more than time and a bit of timing as a prompt similar to the Gears of War active reload pops up occasionally to make sure you’re still paying attention. Missing that prompt is a surefire way to get the killer on your tail as it causes the generator to make a loud noise with a visual icon on the killer’s display.

January starts off with the highly-anticipated premiere of Community season 5, and then the world of television jumps backs in to gear as all of your favorite shows begin making their return from the holiday hia

The first Outlast successfully translated the found footage horror genre to video game form, and Outlast 2 delivers a similar, yet arguably even scarier, experience. Outlast 2 changes the setting from a mental asylum to rural Arizona, where players are chased down by insane cult members. Its dark religious themes help to make Outlast 2 especially unnerving, and while the first half is a bit slow, the second half is a dizzying rollercoaster of shocking scenes and moments that will be drilled into the minds of anyone brave enough to play through
