There’s a lot to speak about when we discuss the topic of immersion in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. Truly, it’s one of the most immersive—and therefore horrifying—VR horror games ever made, and that immersion comes in many facets, from sound design to environmental storytelling to painstakingly detailed zombies. But let’s not beat around […]

The mind is a pretty complex thing. It’s the reason why surgeons can do just about any transplant procedure aside from the brain. With so many tiny nerves and connections making a person uniquely them, it’s damn near impossible to comprehend what’s going on in someone’s head from minute to minute. This fascination with the

VR might not have yet launched us into the Ready Player One-style reality we’d hoped we’d have by now, but there’s one thing for sure: it’s redefined the rhythm game genre, making those clunky, space-hogging, musical instrument peripherals look like as big a joke as the Virtual Boy. Like that ill-fated piece of technology, none

Not to get all political right out the gate, but Communism is a cool idea, right? At least, in theory. However, in reality, we would all probably be eating gruel and burning our cherished possessions to survive the harsh winters. Just to be clear, the closest I have ever come to having a debate about

I would refer to myself as a legacy horror gaming fan. What do I mean by that? Fair question. What I mean is that within the arena of horror games, I find myself constantly yearning for horror games of old from the golden era populated with Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Project Zero, F.E.A.R., and many

Ah, capitalism. It’s one of the nefarious cogs that keeps this flawed world turning. When you take a step back and look at it for what it is, it’s a calculated, truly evil system designed to separate the means of production from the masses. However, it’s really hard to stay mad or focus our rage

Vr as a gaming medium has been given some unhelpful, but not completely unwarranted descriptions over the years. The medium has been largely seen as a closed shop for fanatics with more money than sense. It has also been coined as a medium that is still in its infancy and not worth the price of

Ah, finally. An opportunity for me to share anecdotes from my rowing days (or Crew days for all you Yanks). Such stories have been banned in my house, as my wife has grown tired of my ‘Shoulda, coulda, woulda’ tales, but I’m sure screaming them into the internet void will be much more welcome. After
