'Resident Evil 2' (2019) Demo Thoughts
If you have ever played a survival horror game growing up in the 90's, you had to come across a series called Resident Evil. In 1996, Capcom released a game in Japan called Biohazard, which eventually made it to the states as Resident Evil. The survival horror genre was born with this original title that was released on the Playstation console. The concept of survival horror is to pit the player against challenges with scarce resources. This game specifically used zombies and other biological weapons as enemies in the game. You were constantly pressed to decide whether to fight or flight, depending upon resources that you gain throughout the game. Furthermore, you are tasked to manage a limited inventory in which you would need to decide on what tools and weapons to carry. As you progress deeper into the story line, the creatures that you encounter become increasingly more difficult to fight. Lastly, your save states in the game were based upon finding ink ribbons to save your game onto sparingly limited typewriters.

The Top 7 Most WTF 'Silent Hill' Puzzles
There's a term gamers use to define the silly arduous puzzles we encounter in games: A "moon logic" puzzle. They are the puzzles that are poetic and metaphoric than practical. When it comes to moon logic puzzles, Silent Hill is one of the best (or worst?) at implementing them into the gameplay and story. Sometimes these stories just don't make any damn sense at all, but neither do monsters with two sets of legs, or monsters that are psychological manifestations of trigonometry homework.

My Top 10 Scariest Monsters in Gaming
"What in fresh hell is that?"a gamer might proclaim.For it is neither an animalNor a beast they can name. Yeah, don't worry, I won't be doing that the whole article. I've had way too many lollipops leftover from Halloween and my brain's all silly. Enough about my sugar intake, this is about monsters. Monsters that are humanoid, yet corrupted, or have limbs where they shouldn't be. Some are the resultant aberrations of human eugenics gone haywire, some are the manifestations of a character's guilt made flesh. Keep in mind that this is my personal list, so it might not align with your list of scary creatures. I'm also not being picky about whether the creatures are from horror games or non-horror games. Without further ado, let's countdown my top 10 scariest monsters in gaming.

5 Tropes We Can Always Expect in Zombie Games
Ah, everyone loves a good zombie game, though quite a few will audibly groan when they see yet another zombie game in the works from the trailers at E3. Sometimes annihilating human enemies and Eldritch monstrosities gets stale because it doesn't feel rewarding in the long run. But by thinning the zombie herd, you're doing your part to stop this infestation of shambling brain-munching dunces! Feel proud in your accomplishment, if only for a minute before the purifying nukes are released on the town.

5 Gameplay Mechanics in Horror Titles Nobody Wanted. Top Story - November 2018.
I don't get people that are so adamant about making their horror games "realistic." I know if I actually encountered a zombie hoard, they'd be already picking my sinews out of their undead teeth. When it comes to survival instincts, I am quite useless. I trip over my own feet and (actually) I seriously run into doors. I play video games to pretend that I'm not the actual embodiment of a trash bag full of mashed potatoes.

Why Are Horror Games So Horrible These Days?
Maybe I’m just reaching my final metamorphosis as an unimpressionable, desensitized, psychopathic skeptic. Or maybe the state of American politics is far more horrifying than game developers can dream up. Or maybe I’m too blinded by my blood and rust covered glasses, because as much I hope, there will never be another game as good as Silent Hill 2 and those new IPs will always be mediocre copies of Silent Hill 2.
