Halo Infinite S Craig Is Xbox S New Mascot

When Halo Infinite’s gameplay was debuted during the July Xbox Games Showcase, few would have expected the post-show buzz would be focused on a single Brute. Video game fans latched onto an impromptu screengrab from the Halo Infinite trailer depicting an aloof Brute as an example of the game’s unimpressive visuals. The Brute’s detached facial expression, at first seen as a joke, ended up endearing him to the Halo and Xbox fanbase....

Hereditary What Inspired The New Horror Classic

It’s a bit unnerving to watch the new horror film Hereditary and think about the fact that writer/director Ari Aster was inspired to make the movie — which is about a family going through a series of awful, increasingly inexplicable occurrences following the death of its former matriarch — after his own clan endured a run of bad luck that left Aster half-wondering if they were cursed. “The beautiful thing about the horror genre or just genre filmmaking in general is that you can take personal material and you can just sort of push it through the genre filter and out comes a work of relative invention, right?...

How The Elder Scrolls Online Is Already Changing Thanks To The Beta

Perhaps the most thrilling aspect of Skyrim was experienced in the first few minutes of the game, following a short intro cinematic that effectively dropped players into the world of Tamriel with very little equipment and even less direction as to what they’re supposed to do or where to go. This design decision flies in the face of what’s become the status quo where developers often hold player’s hands with mind-numbing tutorials until they’re ready for the training wheels to come off....

How Free To Play Models Might Impact The Future Of Gaming

The free-to-play pay model for video games is proving to be increasingly popular, leaving many to wonder what players can expect in the future. With titles like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Smite, and Warframe, developers are discovering that, when the upfront costs of these experiences are dropped, players are more likely to spend extra money in-game, leading to increased profits. In reality, we will probably never see this type of pay-method completely replace the full-priced game....

How Tales Of Arise Could Perfect The Franchise Formula

To many players, the Tales series is JRPG comfort food. While genre juggernauts like Final Fantasy try something new with each entry, the Tales games rarely deviate from an established formula.

However, sometimes the lack of innovation grows a little stale, yet the upcoming Tales of Arise can thankfully fix that....

How The Twilight Zone Influenced Are You Afraid Of The Dark

Iron Harvest Review

Iron Harvest could be called a dark twist on post-WWI Europe, if the reality weren’t already just as dark. It has a well-realized dieselpunk setting dubbed “1920+” by its makers, with fictionalized versions of Poland (Polania), Russia (Rusviet), and Germany (Saxony) acting as the three factions of the game. Players will command massive diesel-powered mechs, colorful hero characters, and hapless infantry units in a medium-complexity RTS with robust campaigns and engaging multiplayer....

Halloween The Ingredients Of A Horror Classic

It’s the spring of 1978, and John Carpenter is in the midst of a risky decision. He’s reached the 20th and final day of shooting on Halloween, and has a final few hours to compose what will become the movie’s opening sequence: a point-of-view shot where we’re introduced to the young Michael Myers, aged six. But rather than make things easy on himself by shooting the scene as simply as possible, he’s decided to film it as one, unbroken sequence, with as few edits as he can get away with – an atmosphere-building bit of camera trickery inspired by Orson Welles’ Touch Of Evil....
