SCP: First Contact [Film]

SCP: First Contact is by now a classic Machinima created by Evan Royalty, which has reached over 7 million views on YouTube. A most impressive achievement! As the title might allude, it’s a film set in the SCP universe—where we have a team of special operatives investigating a strange event in the Yukon territory. For you that have experienced SCP before knows that nothing good will come from this, beyond providing a tension filled horror flick, that is. It’s made in the Grand Theft Auto 5 engine, and what has been created here is nothing short of remarkable—from atmosphere, to story and voice acting. Take a look for yourself, down below (if you dare).

Arma Reforger: Operation Omega – Back to 1989, baby! [Review]

Finally, Bohemia Interactive decided to release something for us single-player addicts—in the form of a mini-campaign doing commando stuff behind enemy lines. This, naturally, caught my attention, since so far the multiplayer-focused Arma Reforger has not interested me much—beyond a vague curiosity in testing the new and supposed improved engine, that is. So, was it worth the purchase? Read and find out!

Echoes of the Living is out in Early Access!

The survival horror Echoes of the Living is finally out in Early Access! EA, you might sigh, but to be fair, it’s a different kind of EA, as the game is apparently complete. At least one campaign is, while the second one still needs some more work on. This is according to the developers, anyway. It just seems to me that there might be a few issues with the game, as a string of patches has been released since it came out. Maybe not everything is hunky-dory—so a tiny warning.

Beyond this, the game looks excellent, and it comes with an opening discount that lasts until the tenth of November. It rests at a respectable 81% approval rate currently, which is pretty good. Down below, you will find the latest trailer!

The X-Files: Resist or Serve – Tunguska Oil Menace [Review]

I want to believe… that there is a good X-files game out there. Believing is one thing, getting it is another. I’m not saying The X-Files: Resist or Serve is terrible, because it’s not. It’s not exactly great, either. Enjoyable yes, somewhat faithful to the lore for the X-Files buffs, with “janky” as its middle name. So, for everyone climbing on board, be warned! You will be in for a rough ride! Before anything else, some technical things.

The Complete Project Zomboid Lore Story [Film]

Say, how about a full feature zombie outbreak mock documentary in the world of Project Zomboid? It has everything from the initial conspiracy, to the failed evacuation of Muldraugh—so prepare your behind for a full bloody undead disaster time-line. I found it very amusing that Spiffo, the cute mascot, is implied to be part of the outbreak—at least the owners of the logo. I doubt this is canon in any way, but it works as any other explanation for the outbreak.

The creators (Undead Captures) made the film in a first-person camera view, in a low-poly visual style that works splendidly to capture the feel of Project Zomboid. Seeing as it actually looks like it could be from the game, but now viewed from a boots-on-the-ground perspective. Overall, everything involved with this fan project is impressive—from the motion capture for the animations, to the story and atmosphere. It feels true to the genre, campy, but still a serious tale from the apocalypse. It was very easy for me to get caught up in the story.

I highly recommend you check out the movie after the jump, especially if you enjoy the zombie genre, and have played Project Zomboid. There’s a lot for fans to recognize!
