MENACE [Full cinematic trailer]

When Overhype Studios released the demo for Menace, they also dropped a small teaser that showed off the brutality of their created world—in part. Well, fret no more, the full length trailer is here, and it’s awesome (as expected). Sadly, it isn’t that much longer than the teaser, but it adds context to what we saw earlier. 

Two noticeable things here. The sludge that grabs a dead (or wounded) marine around the one-minute mark looks really nasty and terrifying. I foresee grotesque body-horror in the future! Also, note to self, avoid everything slimy and bubbling. Then the second thing comes at about one and a half minute in—and it’s a damn Terminator machine, directly manifested from my “future wars” nightmares. Wow! Talk about the unexpected, and it looks like what the title of the game indicates: Menacing! Check out the cool trailer after the jump.

Resident Evil: The Lost City of America [Video]

Fetch your popcorn! A fantastic Resident Evil lore video by VF86 TV has arrived that tells the tale of Raccoon City in the style of a late night true-crime documentary. Serious effort has gone into the production, which makes it feel like the real thing. It’s eerily immersive, with slick editing, music and voice-acting—in other words: top-notch stuff if you want something spooky to watch for the month of October. You can check out the film after the jump!

Resident Evil: Caliban Cove by S.D. Perry [Book Tip]

I have finally finished Caliban Cove, S.D. Perry’s first venture into non-canon original Resident Evil fiction. What is cool about this novel is that it picks up immediately after Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy, and it remains consistent with that story, and how she has written the characters so far. I didn’t expect anything else, but it’s nonetheless something that has to be pointed out. On the general plot of Caliban Cove. I wouldn’t say it’s the most exciting zombie horror drama I have read, but it works as a light, entertaining read, that is saved solely based on being set in an awesome franchise.

Hell is Us – Demons of Boredom [Early (Final) Thoughts]

This is not a full review of Hell is Us, since I haven’t completed the game, but I felt I had to give my opinion on what I have played so far. Now, when I tried the demo, I got impressed, despite the large sword-anime antics, which is something I’m allergic to for the most part. Even so, the story felt mysterious, and the world, while being fairly large with plenty of areas to seek out, still felt tightly designed with an enjoyable dungeon to tackle at your own pace. I thought the full game would follow this premise, but so far, that’s not so.

WOLFHOUND – WW2 Metroidvania [Trailer]

Saw this trailer for WOLFHOUND coming out of The Mix by pure chance. And what can I say? It looks really damn intriguing. It will for you too, if you, like me, enjoy the WW2 setting combined with the mysterious occult. Being a 2D Metroidvania platformer on top of that is a bonus, since who doesn’t love that genre? However, what sets it apart for me, which falls under personal criteria, is that the controls look tight and that it offers great retro visuals. That WOLFHOUND surely does, going by the slick trailer.

It seems like you will be fighting creatures from the cosmic void, Nazi machines created for destruction, and regular old grunts, looking to survive just like the protagonist. According to a press release I found, it’s still some way off, being planned for release in 2026. But time flies, right? Even so, it’s something to look forward to. Trailer after the click!
