Days Gone Review
I want to make a habit of reviewing certain things that I am playing or watching in the future. This may include things that have been out for some time or even brand new releases. In this case, I am reviewing something that has been out for about a year now. Days Gone is an open-world survival/horror game set in Oregon two years after the zombie (infected) apocalypse occurs. I remember seeing the reveal at E3 the year it was announced, and it completely blew me away. If you don't know, I am a sucker for anything zombie-related. And yes, I still watch the Walking Dead. After seeing that we would take on massive hordes of zombies that can move faster than the living, I knew we were in for a treat. I was prepared to pick it up on day 1, but I began to see mediocre reviews. This led to me putting it on hold for a while, but I am so glad that I decided to dive into it. If you haven't played this game and want to remain completely spoiler-free, play the game, then come back and read my thoughts...

Phasmophobia - A Horror Game
After gathering the necessary equipment, the four of us walked out of the truck onto the paved walkway with parallel garden lights that led up to an unassuming house. The house itself was in the middle of a very picturesque neighborhood next to rows of cookie-cutter houses. It even had a white picket fence.

The Scariest Video Games
The widespread use of video games leads to the existence of different genres of them. Scary game lovers say that the feeling of playing horror games is far better than watching movies and gives you that real adrenaline rush. In these games, the quality must always be more than the quantity to give a greater experience to the player. The graphics help players to transfer to another reality and feel the fear that their character feels. Horror games are based on narrative or visual presentation. Haunted House is one of the first horror games, released in 1992 but which is the scariest video game ever made?

Making a Horror Themed Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has bought out a level of creativity in all of us that we didn’t know we had. Although the items the game gives you are almost all inclined towards your typical, cute-sy, fairy-esque island, sometimes you need to mix it up a bit. As an avid lover of all things horror, I set out on a mission to make my island the spookiest island I could manage. For anybody else who loves horror and wants to add it to their ACNH island, here’s some tips I picked up along the way! If you’re looking for something specific, you can ctrl+f to jump to: island names, villagers, clothing, furniture, area ideas and custom designs

The Best Game You've Never Played
Pathologic 2 is a game I found on sale unexpectedly - and I fell in love. Or those heart palpatations were the sheer panic of the game's day system closing in from the word go; I couldn't tell you.

Retro Review
What pains me the most about the 'Next Gen' & 'Current Gen' consoles is their distinct lack of backward compatibility. I won't lie it often infuriates me as it seems like a deliberate ploy so that gamers need to repurchase an old game. More often than not the old game is exclusively available for download so the gamer doesn't even get a box with instructions to get the most out of the game. As a collector this really does annoy me and I'm sure it annoys many other gamers out there too. It forces great consoles like the Playstation 3 to become retro a lot quicker than they need to. Great games like the one I'm reviewing today are then re-packaged much to the expense of the customer and much to the delight of industry juggernauts like Sony and Microsoft.

'East Coast Nightmares' Bringing Bad Dreams to PC and Consoles
You arrive at a dimly lit carnival, the joyous screams of children echoing throughout the grounds. They’re broken for a moment by the horrifying grunt of your first assailant. A clown, demented and twisted by whatever supernatural horrors await, swipes at you. Your only escape is through the ominous facade of a clown’s head, its teeth sharpened and its eyes glowing under a neon hue. Rushing through its mouth, you hope to escape the monstrosity at your heels, unaware that you’ve run right into your very own East Coast Nightmares.

My Predictions for The Last of Us II
In May 2020, Naughy Dog is once again immersing us into the dark, dreary, and depressing world of The Last of Us. With the focus primarily on Ellie, now grown and full of rage, the highly anticipated follow-up is sure to be just as emotionally charged as the original. It is Naughty Dog, after all, a developer known for drawing raw emotion from its fanbase.

Five Nights At Freddy's
For ages I have been obsessed with decoding the mystery of this franchise. I've seen all the play-throughs, watched all of the Game Theorist videos, and filled notebooks with my ramblings trying to puzzle it all out.
