Alien Dark Descent

Posted in aliens, horror, Video Games with tags , , , on June 24, 2023 by chrisdsav

New Alien game has arrived after Alien Fireteam left a lot of people buggy and Alien Isolation left people scared it was time for a new kind of Alien experience and t be honest the prologue for the game really gave me chills to my bones.

When you get to the main gist of the game you can still have a sense of eerie feeling but that can be over shadowed by a some times cluncky button system that feels like you fight the controls once in awhile more than the Xenomorphs.

One thing I liked was the real atmosphere and level of detail to the game for this turn based strategy rpg really immersed my feelings I was in this world from the movies.

If you want a more detailed look at the game development check out my interview with the developers I did at Pax East

Bayonetta 3

Posted in Video Games with tags , on October 29, 2022 by chrisdsav

At long last Bayonetta is back in the third game on the Nintendo Switch. Last we saw her was in the Smash Brothers game on the Wii U and Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U. Now the controversy round the original voice actress blew up the gaming community in a big bad way that it tore the tiny fan base this game has apart. Maybe things are not always clear and maybe things are a mess and But I digress. Jennifer Hale is fantastic as a voice actress and she really brings it in this game to sound like Bayonetta. I been a fan of this series since it was in XBOX 360. And I loved the anime movie too. The game is exactly the same as the last two games.

It’s about 8-10 hours of game play. Is that worth 62.00 with tax Idk. But I enjoy it and I don’t feel it’s our dated just a little better than the last game. Also new character Vola is really cool. A punk rock female side kick to our leading lady voiced by voice actress Bezzby. Check out her Twitter she is working with Trans Line a charity to help trans genders. let’s face it Bay is a sexy female badass like Laura Croft or Bloodrayne, Who don’t love a hot goth version of Sarah Palin. The names of the creatures are as ridiculous as ever but some come from real world lore or a mix of love and fiction. I do a podcast called Supernatural Creatures and Lore and it does a deep dive into what’s real about monsters on Supernatural the tv show.

Gomorrah being one of them, the Devourer of the Devine. Pick up the game now or wait for it on sale. I’d advise waiting unless your a die hard who needs it now.

Deaths Gambit After Life

Posted in Video Games with tags on March 16, 2022 by chrisdsav

Like a relationship you keep going back too no matter how toxic Deaths Gambit seems to be that way for me

Graphics are very much akin to Castlevania and Metroid and the crazy mao system as you find your way around is just as nuts.

Dying hurts and can be funny. When Death keeps bringing you back and making you feel like a bitch about doing it over and over again, you can understand why he makes so many jokes at your expense. If you missed it in 2018 like I did get this version on the Nintendo Switch today.

New Games Coming Soon

Posted in sci-fi, Video Games, werewolf with tags , , on January 26, 2021 by chrisdsav

First up

Turrican Flashback

ININ Games will release on January 29th both the physical boxed and digitally eagerly anticipated and legendary Turrican collection – Turrican Flashback on Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation4.

Developed by legends in the video game industry and remastered by lifelong fans, Turrican’s long awaited return to the market is finally here with a prestigious and carefully selected collection of some of the most amazing titles. The endless exploration and challenge of the classic Turrican 1 & 2 explodes alongside the arcade perfection of Super Turrican and Mega Turrican in Turrican Flashback, bringing you 4 of action gaming’s finest examples of the genre.

Released originally on the classic home computer system, The Commodore Amiga, followed by sequels on Super Nintendo and Mega Drive, these remasters bring brand new elements to the tried and true formula offering both old and new fans something unique for this edition. Play tested and tailored by lifelong Turrican fans from across Europe, the new control scheme makes each Turrican game intuitive and easily accessible for all players as each button and command corresponds to action, and allows for even more precise shots and jumps than ever before. 

For those who miss the scanlines and curvatures of retro monitors, Turrican Flashback is not just a travel through time in terms of the games, but even the presentation! Use one of the best CRT shaders in the industry and customize your display to bring the action as close to the way you remember it looking on your nostalgic monitor, or opt for the new dynamic pixel perfect display which allows you to minimize the on screen icons and focus entirely on the gorgeous in-game graphics which still stands the test of time!

SPACE INVADERS

Posted in Video Games, websites on January 25, 2021 by chrisdsav

Space Invaders is a Japanese shooting video game released in 1978 by Taito. It was developed by Tomohiro Nishikado, who was inspired by other media: Breakout, The War of the Worlds, and Star Wars, and its been redone and redone various times but this is the first time I can say in years I REALLY could not stop playing the game. Maybe its the music or the way the fluid controls feel when I’m playing it. ( only on PS4 I assume it feels the same on other consoles.) The following games are part of the Space Invader Forever Collection:
• Space Invaders Extreme
• Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE
• Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders

Each one has its own amazing unique brand of vibrant visuals and a pulsing soundtrack. As a guy in the music industry for the last 13 years a sound track to a video game can really make you feel part of the game and this does it amazingly well. One part of the game has a very anime style feel to it and I was not a big fan of that mixture but SI EXTREME made me feel like it was the 90s again. Since I CANT and YOU SHOULD NOT go to arcades right now during the Pandemic order a copy fo this immersive experience today, Link below I’m curious if Hollywood would pay attention to this version of the game if they ever got that SI movie going only time will tell.
