Movie Review: Black Circle (2018) – Synapse Blu-ray

Every once in a blue moon I see a flick so incredibly difficult to write about that I’m nearly brought to tears… not because it’s a difficult task, but rather because someone has the goddamn balls to create a psychotronic mother fucking masterpiece and I’d rather all you like-minded cats n’ creeps would just watch the damned thing rather than reading my wicked words… and that is a thing of beauty and wonder indeed! If you didn’t heed my edict above and are still here, I’ll attempt to give you a rough sketch as to just what to expect story-wise from writer/director/genius Adrian Garcia Bogliano’s Black Circle… Celeste (Felice Jankell) is having a shitty go at things when her successful businesswoman sis, Isa (Erica Midfjäll), clues her in to a hypnosis record from the ’70s that has changed her life for the better. Incredulous, Celeste spins the platter nevertheless… and the results are third eye-opening to say the least! Further

In 2019, Invader Studios released their love letter to survival horror games of the past, Daymare 1998. Now they’re back with its prequel, Daymare 1994: Sandcastle. Players partake in events mentioned in the first game as they take on the role of Dalila Reyes, a former Marine and current member of the HADES unit, as she must survive unexplained horrors in Area 51. I want to thank Invader Studios for allowing me the chance to check out the game! Now to the game itself!Daymare 1994: Sandcastle‘s controls are standard for a third-person over-the-shoulder game. I wish there could have been a tutorial level at the game’s start, as you seem to be dropped right into the story. Regardless, I do like that you can look at the tutorial in the pause menu, which can be helpful if you have not played the game for a while and are returning to it. The sound design and soundtrack of Daymare 1994: Sandcastle

Game Review: ‘Atlas Fallen’

Focus Entertainment and its studio Deck13 Interactive have released their action RPG Atlas Fallen and were awesome enough to send over a copy for me to check out, a massive thank you to them for that as well as a thank you for being OK with the review coming out a bit late, so let’s check out Atlas Fallen! Atlas Fallen takes players to a fantasy world covered in sand and with corrupt gods. Players take on the role of the “Unnamed” a person whose station in society is so low, they have no name, who becomes the unlikely wielder of a special gauntlet that grants them powers to fight the monsters stalking the lands. The controls for Atlas Fallen are surprisingly easy to remember and handle with good response which is great for the hack-and-slash style combat (which I love). The soundtrack is pretty good and fits well with this twist on a fantasy world we find ourselves in.
