Game Review: ‘Back 4 Blood’

Turtle Rock Studios is made up of the same folks who made the legendary FPS zombie kill fests Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 so when it was revealed that they were making Back 4 Blood you bet your ass I was excited as I played the hell out of the L4D games! So when I got the chance to review this game I was excited… then things went sour (more on that in a few). Unfortunately, things did not get better but I still want to thank Turtle Rock and Warner Bro Games for the opportunity for this review. Back 4 Blood follows a group of survivors known as Cleaners who venture out as a sort of kill squad that goes after the Ridden, people infected by parasitic worms that turn them into zombie-like creatures, with some mutating into monsters. Onto the game itself. When it comes to the controls they’re…OK. it’s your standard FPS control scheme

9 Zombie Video Game Clichés That Need To Stop

Zombies are fun. Zombie movies are fun to watch. Zombie video games are more fun! There’s nothing like taking your frustrations out on a bunch of virtual undead eating machines and coming out on top. Some games offer you this and then some but over time there are elements in these games that have been done once or twice that start to become overused to the point that they become an annoying cliché that makes the genre repetitive and no longer fun. Since many developers are starting to get into the “immersion” fad. In gaming, culture immersion is when developers want the player(s) to feel like they are literally in the game, generally, this is applied towards VR devices like Oculus Rift but this practice is starting to find its way into non-VR games. For example, the winter sports game Steep the game can only be played online in a public lobby which many gaming fans find annoying (which it

Players Take On The Hoard In ‘World War Z’

Gamers and fans of the film and book ‘World War Z’ will be able to take their love of the story a step further and actually be in the middle of the body-piling chaos along with friends in the upcoming 4 player Co-Op video game by Saber Interactive. The overall story is unknown but takes players to recognizable locations from the film as well as some locations that were not in the film. Players can make traps, upgrade weapons, build barriers, and use their surroundings to keep back and survive the (debatable) undead hoard. My prediction is the game will resemble that of ‘Left 4 Dead’ and ‘Killing Floor’ both game series focus on teamwork and reaching objectives while surviving an onslaught of zombies. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, you can check out the reveal trailer below and check out the website here!
