Why am I not surprised the Venom sequel would have a title like this. The after credit scene made Carnage certain but knowing there won’t be Spider-man and this movie is going to be Pg-13, I feel like this movie has it’s legs broken from the get go. Time will tell but my hopes aren’t strong.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Man of Medan
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope reveal trailer genuinely sparked my interest and I have to admit, Until Dawn is one of my favorite horror games in recent years so I had high hopes that Supermassive games would deliver another awesome horror gem. Can lightning strike twice?
Four friends charter a boat captained by Fliss and venture off into the seas in search for a uncharted shipwreck. During the night they are captured by a group of pirates. During a botched escape attempt, their ship uncovers the remnants of a WW2 freighter that supposedly contains gold, or something much darker in it’s rusted halls…
So to answer my query, no lightning sure as hell didn’t strike twice here. What really killed this game is how fast this game ended, completing it in about 4 hours to an abrupt ending. The characters are fine but I only really cared about 2 of the 5 main characters and I wasn’t really into the pirates, who are basically generic bad guys. The scares are really hit and miss but admittedly, like much of the game, it feels lifted from Until Dawn. The score and atmosphere was nice as were the graphics but the facial animations bothered me and there were some frame rate drops. In the end, Man of Medan is a meh experience I’d think about at discount price. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Re-hydrated edition trailer
Sure. Why not. It looks like a fun platformer but just the fact there was a demand for a Spongebob game to be re-released just blows my mind. Strange days we live in ,folks.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope reveal trailer
I’m sad to say I missed the last installment of this blooming anthology, Little Hope looks pretty promising. I’m a huge fan of Until Dawn and I’m curious to see what kind of horror we can see next. I’ll definitely keep an eye on this one. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Resident Evil 4
It’s been 15 years since this particular legend dropped and it’s influence not only influenced the DeadSpace trilogy as well as the series leading up to the remakes of 2 and 3.
After the destruction of Raccoon City, it seems the Umbrella Corporation has finally fallen. Leon Kennedy, the once rookie cop of Resident Evil 2 ( classic) , has become a highly trained government agent on assignment in Europe- find Ashley Graham, the president’s missing daughter. Leon discovers a town overrun by a deadly cult under the influence of the Las Plagus, a mysterious parasite and masterminds Salazar and Saddler. Even with a host of new survival skills and some new weapons, can Leon save Ashley and survive the secrets of this grand conspiracy?
Resident Evil 4 took a lot of risks and made a lot of changes to gameplay and story and it was fantastic. The story is great and after completion, there’s plenty of extra modes to play which are really solid as well; Mercenaries, with a great list of characters, took weeks of my life alone. Gameplay was a humongous improvement and the game found a damn good balance between horror and action unlike Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 . The bosses are some of the most memorable of the series and Leon is badass hero. So where is the downside? One Word: Ashley. She’s a pain in the ass who will frequently make you want to drink, but hey, fan favorite Ada Wong returns and at least you can usually hide Ashley’s whiny ass in a dumpster. The game has aged over the years but there is still a shit load of fun to be had. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

American Horror Story: 1984
Ah the 80’s, a time of hair, blow, and slasher movies. Brooke and her new friends are off to be camp counselors at Camp Redwood, which is reopening from a tragic massacre years before. Legend has it, a maintenance man called Mr Jingles snapped and brutally murdered the campers and counselors, stealing there ears as his trophies. Margret Booth, the sole survivor of Camp Redwood’s previous massacre, pledges to open the camp and launch a new legacy based off of her tragedy; Brooke is no stranger to tragedies. But secrets emerge as Mr Jingles returns and there lives won’t ever be the same.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse was a low point for most of us but I’m happy to say 1984 was pretty awesome. I love the cheese of a 80’s sitcom mixed with the exploitation of classic Friday the 13th . I like the twists and turns the series takes. The acting is really good and everyone seems to be having fun with this season. Like many of the seasons, there is a lag in pacing between the overall second and third act and while normally I’d be pissed how this is the shortest season yet with only 9 episodes, it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Honestly, with the host of great music and cheese it might be the most fun AHS yet. In the end, it’s a simple story but really fun season I’d definitely recommend checking out.

Doom: Eternal
Like many people around the world, these are trying and troubling times. Some cope with technology, some with diving into fantasies. I dove into Hell.
At the end of Doom , the legions of Hell have nearly taken over Earth after escaping Mars. It’s up to the badass Slayer to fight back alone against the Khan Makyr and her Hell Priests as she tries to sacrifice our world for hers. Armed to the brim with his fimilair but upgraded arsenal, new weapons and abilities the Doom slayers futures on a bloody, ultra-violent quest that pulls back to the enigmatic Doom Slayer’s origin as he faces the Khan Makyr and the Icon of Sin…
Doom: Eternal is simply phenomenal and a superior sequel to the reboot. Everything that was great from the Doom 2016 game is carried over and the patchy stuff like platforming and relevance on certain weapons is cured. Platforming is smoother and crazier. Guns that weren’t great before are amazing now with easily switched alternate fires; every weapon you acquire is needed in this game. The demons are way more intense and the variety is insane; playing this game on normal is way harder but a lot more rewarding. The music and graphics are outstanding with awesome collectibles. Eternal will likely be my favorite game this year for damn good reason that I couldn’t recommend more. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
