A few months ago I was stunned a little at the The Haunting of Sharon Tate trailer and I have to say I’ve kind of stunned at this Ted Bundy movie. I don’t have a problem with Effron as the notorious killer, in fact I think he has what it takes to pull it off. What gets me is the tone of the trailer. Is it me or does the trailer kind of try to make Bundy look like a folk hero more than a serial killer? Other than that, I still think it looks interesting. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Demon Souls Remaster Up To Sony Says Miyazaki
Many people have been curious over the years and especially this year being the Demon Souls 10 year anniversary, are we looking at a remaster of the game that first introduced us to the way Miyazaki designed games that later would become Dark Souls and Bloodborne. In recent interviews, however, Miyazaki has revealed that even if he wanted to, which the idea makes him nervous, it would, in the end, be up to Sony, not From Software since Sony holds the IP.
If it happens or not, I don’t know but it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing ever. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
5 Great Fantastic 4 villains
There’s been talk about the supposed Fantastic 4 DLC rumored for Marvel’s Spider-man (PS4) which brought me to feel that strange nostalgia I have for Marvel’s first family. Of course when it comes to the 4, there’s 2 certain baddies you have to mention and I will but there are others that deserve some love. Starting with some we’ll be getting our first look at in the MCU soon, let’s begin with…
1. The Skrull-
The Skrull are a huge threat in the Marvel Universe and will be the main antagonist in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie as well as having ties to the X-Men: Dark Phoenix storyline and The Secret Invasion event which will likely be the next Avengers tale after Thanos. So what makes them so menacing? They are badass shape-shifters capable of replicating powers and memories as well as the Super Skrull that are stronger and blend powers together, which makes for a hell of a foe against the Four…
2. Mole Man-
Disgruntled and mad, this freaky dwarf lives under New York with his army of mutant creatures he creates. Whether it’s creepy mole beasts that a step below H.R. Giger’s monsters or massive kaiju sized freaks, he has an intense hate for the 4 and an a perverted lust for Sue Storm. He honestly makes a better start up villain than, well, we’ll get to him later…
3. Puppet Master-
So his name pretty much sums up his deal: he makes life like puppets of living people he can control to do his bidding. While he maybe the weakest threat on this list, I’m including him because of the connection he has to the most tragic but arguably beloved member of the 4, Ben Grimm- The Thing. Puppet Master is the father of Grimm’s blind love, Alicia; part of his motive is his dislike of Grimm and likely the fact a giant rock dude is trying to rock his daughter..
4. Dr Doom-
Here we have not only the arch enemy of the Fantastic Four who hates Mr. Fantastic’s guts but also has faced against Namor, Dr Strange, Thor, Black Panther, Iron Man and the Avengers. This brilliant dictator of Latveria is a technological genius, strategic mastermind, and mystic powerhouse who is known for his tragic backstory and cold, terrifying metal mask. Behind that mask is a complex man who sees himself a hero while the world sees Doom…
5. Galactus-
There are some forces beyond good or evil in the universe. Sometimes there are things so great they are simply nature. Galactus almost fits into this category. Galactus predates the Big Bang and literally devours world with the help of his cosmic herald, the Silver Surfer. He is damn near unbeatable and is a threat worthy of uniting the cosmos but the four have banded together to ward him off..
I hope everyone enjoyed the list. I do give mention to Namor, Diablo, the Thinker, Annihilus, and the Frightful Four as great Fantastic Four villains that deserve some love. May the gaming gods Flame On!
Farming Simulator, E-Sports.
Not gonna lie, that seems like a satire article doesn’t it? Maybe some sort of click bait? Well, it’s being reported by The Verge and Kotaku and Motherboard. This is legitimately a thing, and as news to me, this is apparently quite real in life. Don’t get me wrong always knew bull riding was real and stuff like that but it seems like there is an entire world of farm games out there. Not like Farming Simulator 17 (Xbox One) farming games but like people having competitions type.
Well, the e-sports league will see people stacking hay bails and such for a chance at their chunk of 100k Euros (just over 113 thousand US dollars) in 10 tournaments across Europe, tho sadly us over here in the states are a bit out of luck. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Farming Simulator 15 (PS4)
Some of you may remember a while back, got curious and bought Farming Simulator 17 (Xbox One) to see what it was like. Well, Farming Simulator 15 was on sale and I had to see what that game was like and not surprisingly it is quite a bit like Farming Simulator 17. There are of course some added tools, crops and animals and the graphics are better but the game is basically the same, even at least one of the farms seems exactly the same.
Now clearly I could be wrong, there may be slight differences as I didn’t go and examine things carefully but they are at least quite similar. There as also some things missing that I liked from 17, such as the ability to tie things down on your trailers. This, of course, isn’t a deal breaker and if you simply want to see if you like the genre, by all means, pick it up on sale. The 2 are similar enough I don’t see a reason to purchase one over the other if you simply want to experiment and see if you like it.
That being said, if you played 15 and never played 17 and are looking to upgrade I would suggest just buying Farming Simulator 19. I haven’t played it yet but these two are so similar I can’t imagine 19 being vastly different to the point you would dislike it but like these. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Bonkers, brilliant and ready to break necks — Later Levels
It’s 1992, I’m a teenager in the arcades with my mates and we’re pumping 20p after 20p into the Street Fighter II machine in a vain attempt to beat enough CPU opponents in order to face the final four. Then, from nowhere a cabinet shouts out ‘FINISH HIM!’ and all our heads turn. That’s my […]

Cultist Simulator
Cultist Simulator is a rather interesting game. In fact, it is actually a rather interesting review to try to write since to tell you how to play the game in itself would actually mess up a huge part of the game. The game is a card game, you use the card to make choices. Each card is used to do a different thing such as go to work or study. You will need to manage your money, health, and even your mental health, or your dread. Yes, you can go insane and die. You can die in a whole host of ways actually, then pick up as a new character. Once I died and restarted as a detective that had a file on my last character.
This all seems pretty vague, and the reason it sounds vague is telling you too much would actually ruin the game. The idea of the game is mostly figuring out how and what to do and what happens when you do it. I have included a video so you can see it in action, but I suggest just trying it for yourself. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

5 great Superman villains
Awhile back I covered the Reign of the Supermen trailer , which chronicles the emergence of four powerhouses after Superman’s death at the hands of Doomsday, one of which being Hank Henshaw, the Cyborg Superman, a great DC villain in his own right. Much like Henshaw, villains like Brainiac and Darkseid are as much JLA villains. This countdown I tried to go a bit different by I have to say I found this trickier than I first thought with such as Mongul, DarkSeid, Brainiac, Metallo and the Cyborg Superman. Without further ado, starting with one of my personal DC favorites let’s begin with..
1. General Zod-
I love Zod not because of the fact that he is a militant Superman essentially with a crew of Kryptonian followers as well as alien tech but for how duty bound he is to the people of Krypton and the cause of trying to preserve what’s left of there race and prosperity. Despite the fact he does some radical shit, Superman still respects him as a equal.
2. Mr Mxyzptlk-
This is a strange one. Mr M ( his full name is a royal bitch to spell out all the time) is a small, impish figure from another dimension than loves to screw with the Man of Steel. He’s magic, which nerfs most of Sup’s power set and can warp reality. He is a good antithesis to the warm, chiseled man in the blue and red tights.
3. Bizarro-
Superman has always been known as the one of the greatest forces of good out there, but what happens when he doesn’t know what is good? What happens if right is wrong, wrong is right and you are a godlike being with the brains of Lenny from Of mice and men . Well, you get Bizarro. What makes him a tragic figure is how he truly doesn’t understand the world around him and how Superman is mean because he stops his rampages.
4. Lex Luther –
Of course I had to include Sup’s arch enemy, a rich, bald, pissed off dude who hates Superman because he’s basically god on Earth. That’s pretty much what it always barrels down to. Luther is a brilliant man who does invent a badass suit in the comics to go toe to toe with his near unstoppable foe and comes up with with some great schemes to wreak havoc across not only Metropolis but the DC landscape.
5. Doomsday-
When I finished my list of My Top 10 DC Villains- part 2 I said Doomsday deserved one of the top spots for the single fact he did the unthinkable: he killed Superman. He doesn’t need a complex backstory or intricate power set, he is simply hate and destruction incarnate and he is a utter badass.
I hope you all have enjoyed my list and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
