I love being afraid, but I hate feeling powerless.It’s a delicate balance that survival horror games have struggled to nail down for years, and there’s no better proof of that than the Resident Evil series. From the dark halls of the Arklay Mansion and haunting aesthetics of the RPD in earlier RE games, to the boulder-punching and zombie-suplexing action of the series’ middle years, we now find ourselves at a crossroads where even Capcom doesn’t know which way to turn — so, somehow, it went both ways.Resident Evil: Requiem is the ninth mainline game in the series, and it is…
After the massive success of the Fallout TV series, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and more, it seems the era of video game adaptations is only getting bigger. Director Paul W.S. Anderson has been at it for decades, adapting the likes of Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and Monster Hunter to the big screen, and he can’t believe there are filmmakers out there creating adaptations without being fans of the source material.”I think it’s important for me to be a fan,” Anderson said on the podcast Post Games, as spotted by PC Gamer. “You know, it always shocks me when directors…

After more than 20 years, DC and Marvel’s biggest and best crossover JLA/Avengers (or Avengers/JLA depending on the issue) is returning to print as a monthly comic with a new facsimile edition re-release that recreates the original 2003-2004 series in its entirety.This is only the second reprint of the crossover, following an extremely limited re-release in a single volume after the 2022 death of George Pérez, the legendary artist of JLA/Avengers, who created the comic alongside writer Kurt Busiek in a landmark run on the monthly Avengers series.The original release of JLA/Avengers was decades in the making, with Marvel and…

The only shortcoming is a lack of visual drama, but that can now be addressed with Cazanu’s new CinematicFX mod: where missed bullets hitting innocent masonry would previously amount to an understated thunk, scenery impacts now throw up vast clouds of dust, smoke, and debris. Cinematic effects, indeed.

In the last couple of months, the original Guild Wars, an MMORPG first released in 2005, came back out of maintenance mode as Guild Wars Reforged. The sudden re-release brought with it an upscaled UI, controller support,…
