Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Justine review
In honour of the teaser website for the next Amnesia game by Frictional Games I decided that I would do a retrospective on the original Amnesia and it's add-on Justine. Allow me to start the review by mentioning that I am well aware of how much has been said about this game by every reviewer in existence and I am likewise aware that there probably hasn't been anyone who's ever played it that didn't like it.
Well unless the player absolutely cannot stand having to shower every time after gaming from having pissed themselves in fear too much.
Dead Island DLC
Some new DLC for Dead Island will be hitting the Island on the 1st of February. Apparently featuring the main game's original antagonist, Colonel Ryder White, it makes for an interesting idea for some DLC. Perhaps it's a prequel of some sort... I don't know enough about Dead Island to be able to say...
What I do know, is that there is a trailer, it's pretty cool and the DLC will probably be full of even more awesome and gruesome bashing and slashing of zombies to bits. And disembowelling. And electrocuting. And shooting. Hell how many ways are there to actually KILL a zombie?!?
ThatForrow’s Demo Time – The Darkness 2
ThatForrow, international funny man and game player has brought us the second in his series of Demo Time. This, the second episode, features the upcoming horror/shooter The Darkness II by 2K Games.
So sit back, relax... Well actually... You'll find it difficult to relax here... It's creepy and amusing in spades! So sit forward, tense up and have a wee chuckle! Here's Master Forrow's Dem Time!
Project Zomboid: Upcoming Update
Here's something we haven't heard of in a while! Project Zomboid! Still in Alpha stages and still not really close to completion but still slowly shaping up to be an absolute monster of a game full of difficulty, challenges and zombies all after your delicious, delicious brains. The sheer scope of the developer's intentions for the game is rather mind boggling and still (despite checking out it regularly) still makes me raise my eyebrows at the momentous task still ahead of them.

SOPA: Right, fuck this! Let’s Riot!
Picture semi-related...
Okay so this might instantly strike you as not a very serious post but I absolutely urge you to take a minute to read this and to take this seriously because we might well be seeing that start of something truly horrific. The destruction of free speech and free will that the internet allows... Now this is first and foremost a gaming website but I (alongside other gamers out there actually) have to say that this is definitely worth making a post about and as such definitely worth a look.
Now I will do my best to explain SOPA but, for reasons I will mention in the next paragraph, I am definitely not the most advised person on this subject. I suggest you skip to the bottom of the post and check out the videos I post there or that you go here: http://americancensorship.org/ What I am doing right now is simply trying to make anyone reading this more aware of what's going on (everyone should be told) and you should do the same! Watch the videos and then tell everyone you can to check out the site I just linked!
Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City Beta
Okay, so yeah I told a bit of a fib in the previous post. But really this article is small enough that I almost decided to not post it. Anyway, apparently a new Resident Evil game called Operation Racoon City which is (also apparently) a new take on the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3 is due to have a beta released early next year.
I've never really been into the Resident Evil games, but I figure I'll try and keep this on my radar anyway. Check the trailer after the jump.
No More Room In Hell, Sweet-ass mod.
Just saw this trailer over at Rock Paper Shotgun, signifying the imminant release of 8-player co-op zombie hell. 8 player co-op.... 8 player co-op. 8 playe... you get the point. That sounds awesome, looks awesome and is a mod for Half Life 2.
Video Diaries… Mmm Delicious
Some of you may have been keeping up with my delightful Gears of War 3 Diary (if you haven't you can check Days 1 and 2 here, Day 3 here and Day 4 here) but perhaps for some of you reading is a chore which you would rather not do on too regular a basis.
Well fear not my friends! On our Youtube channel Tim has been hacking his way through Dead Island with his roomate Jamie and he's been filming it for our loving public. Aren't you lucky? You can view the videos on our channel or here after the jump! You can also check out our review of Dead Island here!
