With October comes Halloween and with Halloween comes watching lots and lots of horror and horror-adjacent movies. These iconic movies usually have many spinoffs and, for better and for worse, sometimes that means video game tie-ins, too. Over the decades, we’ve seen the events of Halloween both adapted into being chased by Michael Myers via

At the time that The Sims 4 was released in 2014, it was missing a ton of features that gamers loved from the previous Sims title. In the years that followed, Maxis and EA released expansion packs of every shape and size to provide new careers, clothes, and houses. You would think that eight years

Video games have been trying to scare us since the early ’80s. While the seminal Haunted House Atari game, one of the earliest survival horror games, presented its scares through a mix of heavily-pixelated ghosts and spiders that weren’t so frightening at all, it was indicative of where the genre would one day go. With another push,

Rumors of a live-action Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation have been floating around almost as long as the franchise itself. Every year brings with it new rumors as well as new doubts that this Moby Dick of video game adaptations will ever actually happen. Still, what is a pipe dream to some is a guarantee

I’ll go to my grave defending good jump scares from all that oppose them. While I’m in my grave, I’ll leap out and scare anyone who comes to celebrate the death of anyone who would defend one of the most wrongfully reviled tropes in horror. Notice that I said good jumpscares. While horror is filled

Anyone coming from the Arkham series to Gotham Knights will probably have a lot of questions about the many gameplay differences between the two titles. However, “How do I glide in this game?” will probably be somewhere near the top of that list.  After all, gliding around Gotham City was a bit part of the

Gotham Knights gives you a ton of (arguably too many) objectives, mechanics, and functions to process pretty might right out of the gate. That’s why it’s so strange that the game makes one of its most basic features (how to switch characters) so much more confusing than it needs to be.  To change characters in

Boss fights are almost as old as video games themselves, but while most land somewhere between mild annoyances and controller throwing exercises, a few are just plain terrifying. There are some bosses we truly dread facing, not because of the challenge they pose, but because they stalk the shadows, are seemingly invincible, or look and

The good news is that Gotham Knights is filled with incredible suits that showcase many years of its characters’ histories (as well as some truly inspired new designs). The bad news is that Gotham Knights‘ suit unlock system is so convoluted and random that there is a chance you will never find every suit possibility

It’s hard to overstate how much I love RPGs. I love the robust character creation, the engaging mechanics, the beautiful stories, and the expansive worlds. But I have to admit something. Sometimes, I get a little tired of all the fantasy titles the genre is clogged with. You can hardly look at the RPG tag

This article contains spoilers for Gotham Knights. Gotham Knights lets players patrol Gotham City as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood. Why them and not Batman?

Gotham Knights might look like an Arkham game, but the new action-adventure title is actually a completely new Batman adventure that even features a new cast of characters and voice actors. We’ll have a lot to say about Gotham Knights in the coming days, but the quality of the game’s cast really is one of

While the soon-to-be-released Gotham Knights has Batman fans buzzing, a lot of that buzz is coming from gamers who can’t quite tell if the action-adventure game is directly related to Rocksteady’s legendary Arkham franchise. Simply put, Gotham Knights is not officially part of the Arkham game series. For that matter, it doesn’t even take place

The Resident Evil franchise has been the marquee name in horror gaming since the first title in the series was released for PlayStation way back in 1996. Yet, despite the fact the Resident Evil franchise is the most influential, important, and successful franchise in all of horror gaming, there’s always been a debate about how

When Sony launched the PlayStation 5, the company included an “Accolades” feature that was supposed to encourage camaraderie and discourage toxic behavior in multiplayer games. Earlier this year, Sony announced it was sunsetting the Accolades system, citing a lack of usage. Like so many of the best PS5 features, the problem with Accolades wasn’t that

There are those who would have you believe the last 15 years of horror gaming have been a notable low point for the genre. However, horror gaming hasn’t gone away in the last 15 years; it’s simply changed. Like a muted monster bursting from a lab, modern horror has escaped the confines of the Triple-A

Innovation comes in many forms. Some of the most notable innovators in history earned their notoriety by refining or popularizing an idea rather than strictly inventing it.

The road to Scorn’s release has been long and arduous. The game has gone through two Kickstarter campaigns, private funding, and a partnership with Microsoft, but now Ebb Software’s love letter to everything H.R. Giger is finally available. Even better, the game offers a decently-sized adventure, albeit one tailored to a specific gamer demographic. How

The history of video games is filled with brief eras of “clone” titles. In the early ’90s, there were various “Doom clones” that are now known as revolutionary first-person shooters. In the ’80s, Dragon Quest clones eventually contributed to the global rise of the JRPG genre. Even now, you still have incredible games trying to

Dare to speak the name of the scariest horror game character you know about. Odds are that you just whispered the name of Silent Hill‘s most famous monster, “Pyramid Head.” It’s always been a little odd that Pyramid Head became not just a legendary figure in horror gaming but the face of the Silent Hill

It’s been a little while since we’ve gotten any Starfield updates, but Bethesda’s Todd Howard recently broke that information dry steak by appearing in a new YouTube video focused on the upcoming RPG. While that video includes quite a bit of interesting information about the game, it’s hard to get past the fact that the
