$30 Humble Bundle Bags You A Shitton Of Resident Evil Games
10.8.2022
Sometimes Humble Bundle just comes along with virtually an entire franchise of games for the cost of less than one, making it hard to avoid the siren’s song of that “purchase” link. Today, with Humble’s “Decades of Horror” bundle, that franchise is Capcom’s Resident Evil. How would you like to...
Valve Boss Gabe Newell Didn't Want Zombies In Left 4 Dead
9.5.2022
Quick, without thinking too much, describe Left 4 Dead in only a few words. You probably came up with something like “a co-op zombie shooter.” Or perhaps “an online co-op FPS zombies game from Valve.” Point is, zombies would almost certainly be in there. Even so, back during Left 4 Dead’s...

I Can’t Stop Playing This Hades-Inspired Roguelike
16.2.2022
When roguelike games like Hades start you off with a sword, they usually just let you wield you one at a time. Not Warm Snow. This indie roguelike starts you off with not one, not two, but six whole swords. You can throw them at enemies with deadly precision, and then magically recall all of them...
The Most Unbelievable Part Of Dying Light 2? Everyone Getting Vaccinated
6.2.2022
Dying Light 2 is the latest big-budget open-world game blowing up on Steam and other platforms. I enjoyed it, less for its narrative and more because it features excellent parkour and fun combat. Oh, and there are zombies and other undead mutants. But that’s not the most hard-to-believe part...

13 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Back 4 Blood
18.10.2021
At first glance, Back 4 Blood might seem like a paint-by-numbers co-op shooter whose lineage traces back to Left 4 Dead. You might think you know the drill: point, shoot, pick up weapon, point, shoot again. Make it to the end of the level. Try not to die. But there’s a deceptive layer of complexity...
Back 4 Blood Beta Players Think They Hear Zombies Yelling The N-Word
7.8.2021
Last night, while playing the Back 4 Blood beta on PS5, I was attacked by a large group of zombies. That’s not surprising; it happens all the time in the game. What was shocking was hearing a sound clip from one of the zombies that made it seem like it was yelling out a racial slur. Based on viral...

6.8.2021
I don’t need to sell you on the brilliance of Left 4 Dead, especially when half the industry seems to be drawing inspiration from it right now. But after two hours with Back 4 Blood‘s verses and campaign modes, does it have the same genre-defining charm? That’s hard to say.Read more

9.6.2021
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s TranZit was an infamously unpopular Zombies experience when it launched in 2012. But hear me out: now might be the best time to reintroduce the map.Read more
Here's Everything Coming To And Leaving Game Pass Soon
18.5.2021
The back half of May will see a whole bunch of additions to the Game Pass library, anchored by Knockout City. I have lost many, many games of dodgeball IRL, so I’m looking forward to continuing that trend in an interesting-looking game that may or may not fizzle out immediately. Always impossible...
