The evil within (game)

I must admit that survival horror games have changed for me, as much as I enjoyed playing the first couple of Resident Evil and Silent Hill games that as much as the last titles from the same game series have actually scared me. Oh sure there is disturbing, but disturbing isn´t really scary. Of course what I find scary another person might find hilarious, it´s difficult to really name something that is scary for everyone. So what about this new game, the evil within?


I´ve seen trailers about this game and it looks interesting, then I saw some gameplay and that looked like a lot of fun! This game is made by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, you probably recognized the mansion in the evil within trailers. I do think it looks a bit like the mansion from the first Resident Evil game, but this one looks more twisted and a lot darker than the Resident Evil version. Everything in this game is pretty disturbing, not just the environment but also the creatures you encounter. You actually have to burn the corpses of the undead like creatures, just like the zombies in the remake of Resident Evil. You also have traps that can easily kill you and probably drive you insane, but you can destroy them and then use them to make weapons or ammo for your crossbow.


So what´s going on in this game? To be honest I decided not to delve too deep into the story because it´s a bit more scary when you don´t know what´s going on! But from what I learned you play as a veteran police detective called Sebastian Castellanos and in the trailer you have to save this woman from a mysterious guy called Ruvik. Unfortunately this Ruvik is someone you can´t kill, but he will show up while you explore the mansion and that means run! He doesn´t run after you but like a real serial killer from the old teen slasher movies he walks slowly towards you. This gives you the chance to run away or hide. This reminds me a bit of Nemesis in Resident Evil 3, eventhough you could battle Nemesis and defeat him (for the moment).


The game looks amazing and it seems it´s going to make October very interesting! So if you need to escape from Destiny for a moment or you´re looking for a game to keep your console warm until the big titles launch in November, then this game might be what you´re looking for. Of course if you enjoy playing survial horror games and you´re looking for something new to test your nerves then this is also a great game to play!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
