Killing Floor (PC) Review

Do you like violence, charming British accents, and jolly gingerbread men? Then try Killing Floor, a super fun co-op action horror game where angry naked people (and sometimes cookies) beat you up while you shoot at and hit them with stuff! :D

2023 Update: Now we’re getting into my REALLY early steam reviews, from all the way back in 2013. I am still proud of the silliness of this one, but it could definitely use some more detail.

I mostly play KF2 nowadays as opposed to this one, but it definitely has some advantages over its sequel. No lootboxes or micro-transactions, just pure fun monster blasting mayhem. The DLC was much more reasonably priced. The quality of the animation and gore effects in KF2 has spoiled me to where, the combat in KF1 feels kind of stiff by comparison now, but I do still love the dark humor, art direction, weapon animations and sound design. There’s still a few tracks of that (thankfully instrumental) shitty christian metal, but fortunately, almost the entire soundtrack consists of pure zYnthetic goodness. The game also has a plethora of wonderful mods for it, and unlike KF2, it was designed to SUPPORT mods - the game actually has a built-in “mutator” menu where you enable and disable any of the mods you have installed. Really handy!

Sadly, this one was also developed by tripwire interactive, whom I can’t condone giving money to due their egregious behavior over the years. It was never released for consoles, unfortunately, so the best bet for getting it (without giving money to a shit company) is to see if it pops up in Humble Bundle Charity Bundle, which seem to be appearing every couple years lately. You can set all the fund to go to a charity, help out folks in need, and get yourself access to a really fun game as well!

Artist Spotlights - Natalia Trepenok

Natalia Trepenok is artist who makes wonderful animal art for story books. I recall seeing some painted murals in the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that even reminds me of her work!

Dead Space (Xbox 360) Review

Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...

Fractal Space Demo Review (Xbox One) I recently decided to start making a list of interesting looking Xbox One game demos to try out, and I figured as long as I’m trying them out, I could review them too! It might seem strange for me to be reviewing a games demo over its full release, but I can’t always afford to be buying new games, and sometimes I want to buy a game but it has DRM or it’s from a company I don’t want to give money to so I just play the free demo instead. Speaking of such -many companies won’t even put demos out for their games anymore, (or if they do it’s a limited time only DRM affair) so as a potential customer, I want to let y'all know that getting try your game before I pay for the full version greatly increases the chance of me being interested in doing so! All that said, onto my review of this charming little game demo, Fractal Space! Fractal S...
