'Are we going too far with this?': One of the worst scenes in Outlast had its devs debating whether to add it to the game or not
There are many scenes from Outlast that are burned into my memory, The Groom's sequence in Outlast's Whistleblower DLC, the finger amputation from the first game, or perhaps it was landing on a bunch of baby bones in Outlast 2 . There's quite a lot to pick from over two games, a DLC, and the live service The Outlast Trials . But if Philippe Morin, co-founder of Red Barrels, had to pick the scene that made the team…

10 Best Anime Characters to Take Trick-Or-Treating
Halloween is my favorite time of year, so much so that I personally start Spooktober in September. I challenge myself every day to watch something spooky or disturbingly bloody (like GANTZ ) or be more in control of my fears by playing any of the Silent Hill or Resident Evil games. But Halloween isn’t always about nightmares and existential dread. As a kid, you just wanted to dress up as one of your favorite…

abxylute M6 Mobile Controller review - "One controller for everything"
Mobile gaming has come a long way, but there's one thing I still can't get used to: touchscreen controls in MMORPGs and the like. Sure, they're fine for casual games, but when you're trying to play something that requires a bit more precision, things can get frustrating (quickly).
