AEW Game Could Take Us Back to the Golden Age of Wrestling Games

New DVD releasecould, Games, golden, wrestling

WWF No Mercy‘s generally accepted status as the greatest wrestling game ever made has always been a pleasant curiosity in a world that’s often defined by our divisiveness and desire to argue for the sake of arguing. WWF No Mercy is so beloved that it’s often hard to get someone to analytically break it down without eventually succumbing to wistful ramblings. Yet, the qualities that made the game so special really aren’t that complicated. In fact, much of the game’s success can be attributed to how uncomplicated it was. Essentially an evolution of developer AKI Corporation’s previous N64 wrestling games…

Even now many current-gen releases don’t support 4K just yet. This generation could also be remembered as the one where a reliable, high-speed internet connection became more important than ever, not only for innovative new experiments with online connectivity and the…

20 Scariest Horror Games Ever Made

New DVD releaseGames, horror, scariest

Video games have been trying to scare us since the early ’80s. While the seminal Haunted House Atari game, one of the earliest survival horror games, presented its scares through a mix of heavily-pixelated ghosts and spiders that weren’t so frightening at all, it was indicative of where the genre would one day go. With another push, thanks to titles such as Sweet Home and Alone in the Dark, the survival horror genre would give birth to some of its most frightening creations: Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Eternal Darkness, and Dead Space, to name a few.  Today, the genre lives on and continues to evolve.

These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just…
