In December 2016, Vertigo Games released a zombie game called Arizona Sunshine for PCVR and PlayStation VR. This game allowed us to have fun killing zombies and enjoying some humor all while trying to survive. With this being part of one of my earlier reviews with The PlayStation Brahs back in 2017, I still found it was worth the time to play. So how does Vertigo Games take what was and make it into an even better experience? You remake it, of… Read more.

The camera can be a powerful tool. One that can take pictures to give us some of our fondest memories. A way to help tell the story is simply by seeing the image produced with a click of a button.

Would anything be believed or would your mind start playing… Read more.
What happened in space was not part of the calculations. It wasn't part of the plan. The ones that were lost shall not be forgotten. But for those who fought for the right for others to go on, is what inspires. The word itself sends shivers down the spine, conjuring images of those Xenomorphs who invaded and killed them. It's never really been over. That feeling is starting to grow once again. If you close your eyes, you can hear… Read more.
When it comes to vacations, where do you and your family go? Maybe someplace that is warm or maybe you prefer the cold? Maybe it's a place you go to year after year and yet, it never gets old, but you can still call it your home away from home.

Have you ever seen a ghost? What about being asked if you believe in them? What would you say? Some feel that seeing is believing, while some believe in seeing. The paranormal, for many, is something worth believing, as there are more questions than answers about what happens in the afterlife. But let me ask you this: What would you do if you saw the very thing that you have been looking for? Would you believe your eyes, or would… Read more.

It was never supposed to get out. It was only meant for fun...to scare those few who needed to be taught a lesson. But it's not what you think. The rumors are true...so very true. There is something about the face, the stare that looks into your soul. It's when you look into the eyes that you find how truly alone you may be. It won't help to scream as that feeds the fear. It won't help to run, because… Read more.

And add to the problem of still trying to find the cure of the pandemic with humanity and things are becoming overwhelming. I have to continue… Read more.

But sometimes, what… Read more.

Love them or hate… Read more.
We understand that your visit to The Manor might have affected you in some capacity. We quite expected it from everything that you have told us.

It seems you are quite not as well as you think. We think that you need to visit… Read more.

The program always has its challenges. Sometimes it's out of our hands, but sometimes those hands don't realize that there will be more harm than good. I get it. Some of our past travels may have not had the results that everyone had hoped for and some of them did change the outlook of time, but in order to perfect something, we have to test it. My name is Dr. Hendrick Plackett and my mission is to rescue Diana before… Read more.
I knew this gig would have its moments, especially working nights, but when I heard the tales of the Whistling Man, a killer in a mask from the 1950s, things got even stranger.

But then it showed up and once I inserted that disk, my… Read more.
At the end of 2021, the word of the Paradise Hotel, was not at all what it seemed. When the event happened, some guests ventured out, while others stayed.

We wonder if this will ever blow over or if the new guests will be… Read more.

Ever since those cases have been reported, no one has felt safe. Over a billion people died from that virus that we know as V1V3. We hoped that the ones that were supposed to find the cure did.
