L.A. Noire was an ambitious project from the get-go, spinning the narratives of multiple mysterious murders that fell to Cole Phelps to solve. Players would scope out crime scenes for clues, investigate bodies, and question possible witnesses to piece together the puzzle. Most witnesses even had tells eagle-eyed players could detect to see when they were lying, and certain dialogue options could be selected to try and deduce what was t

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

February starts off slow, as far as television premieres goes, thanks to the Winter Olympics; however the second week of month brings both the return of The Walking Dead season 4 on AMC and the premiere of House of Cards season 2 on Netf

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 Resource management, and thus began the troubled development of Half-Life

While not every title is so lucky, there are some games that rise from the ashes and escape the dreaded development hell, arriving late but welcome to store shelves to the delight of their patient fans. These are the best games to have escaped development limbo and how long they were trapped th

Though this fantastic title eventually reached the hands of murder mystery and noir aficionados , it almost never did, as it faced numerous cancelations and delays across its seven-year development time. The game changed hands with publishers and platforms due to how long it was developed for, as the consoles it originally planned to release for became obsol

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

There will be several different killers in the game, each loosely based on different classic horror movie villains, but only one was featured in the PAX demo, a hulking Jason-like with a machete and bear traps. As the killer, you can always see where the generators are, so you have a good idea at least where to patrol. If a survivor makes a loud noise, like from failing that generator prompt, a prominent icon shows up onscreen giving you the exact location. Likewise, when a generator is fixed, it turns on and gets highlighted in your view. Show up to the generator and see a fading red trail leading away and you know a survivor is very close. Chase them down and give them a good slash and you’ll injure them, making it much easier to catch up with them again later. A second slash will down them, making them eligible to be picked up and carried to a meat hook to be "sacrificed" upon death as tendrils take them away. The whole concept of needing to hang the survivors up on a hook instead of just killing them right then and there is a little silly, of course, but it provides good tension for the game on both sides.

After the franchise went with a more action-oriented approach for a few entries, it was clear that the Resident Evil series needed to get back to its roots. Capcom did exactly that with Resident Evil 7 , delivering an overwhelming survival-horror experience full of exploration, deadly traps, and horrific monsters for players to contend with. Especially brave players can even play through the entire game with PlayStation VR , transporting them directly into the hellish world of the Baker family plantation and all the terrors that come with
