Just because you can make a movie doesn’t necessarily mean you actually should. This is a sentiment I’ve felt many times after watching some real flops. For some reason, the horror genre seems to be plagued by them. It got to where there’s a whole sub-genre known as “B-horror.” These are typically films that are campy, cheesy, and over-the-top to the point of being co...[Read More]
Let’s face it. Nintendo has a monopoly on all of our nostalgia due to all of the beloved titles they’ve released over the years. They are the Disney of the video game world and they know it. One of the biggest fan favorites is the Legend of Zelda series. I remember back in my childhood spending countless hours playing A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.

Movie-based video games aren’t a new concept. In fact, there have been video games based on movies all the way back in the early 80s. Although many of these games tend to be completely awful, some of them have won over gamers. However, video games based on horror movies tend to be the former rather than the latter.

When most people think of monsters the words beauty and art don’t come to mind. However, there is a real beauty that lies in the details of monster creation and design.

Fortunately, the creators of the fil...[Read More]
Pawarumi is a Sci-Fi action arcade game with a focus on shooting and dodging enemy attacks. The aim of the game is to take fans of this genre back to the glory days of 80s arcades when games like Galaga reigned supreme.
