When the Dead Space Remake was first announced, many fans of the franchise were skeptical. This concern was primarily due to distrust in EA and that the original creators, Visceral Games, would not be involved in the project. Instead, Motive Studio, the developers behind Star Wars: Squadrons and co-developers behind Star Wars Battle Front 2. Once, EA’s loot system was out of Battle Front 2, ...[Read More]

Back in the Fall of 2008, Visceral Games’ Dead Space revolutionized the horror genre. From the atmospheric level and sound composition to the frightening enemy designs, Dead Space set the bar for horror games to come. Striking Distance, a newly formed Krafton-owned studio led by Dead Space veteran Glen Schofield, aims to hit the same horror highs with their latest release, The Callisto Protocol. T...[Read More]
Over the last decade, many gamers have felt that the horror genre of video games has been rather limited. Yes, there has been the occasional horror game that has captured gamers’ attention but arguably none have matched the level of the ones from the 2000s. Within the last five years, Capcom has remade Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. This has left many to wonder when some of their favor...[Read More]

Until here recently, I had never played through any of the Dead Space games. Almost immediately after finishing Dead Space 2, the news comes out that Visceral Games had been closed down. Even at that moment, as a new fan of this phenomenal (well, mostly) franchise I was crushed at the thought that this series probably wasn’t coming back anytime soon. I went on to finish the entire trilogy on...[Read More]
Back in 2015, developer The Deep End Games started a Kickstarter for an indie project known as Perception with one of the mains selling points being that the team had members who originally worked on critically acclaimed games such as Dead Space and BioShock. Perception’s concept alone was enough to grab me once I saw the team behind it. Perception puts players in control of a blind woman, who mus...[Read More]
Survival horror is a favorite genre of mine. I’ve always enjoyed good tension and feeling helpless in a video game (if that doesn’t sound weird). In my opinion, a good horror game needs to make the player defenseless, so the stakes feel even higher when approaching a each situation. A sort of disadvantage I guess I could say, the most common one is not being much a fighter, forcing the player to r...[Read More]

Initially, “The Most Authentic Podcast Ever,” the 32nd episode of Marooners’ Talk, was going to focus solely on the wrap-up of E3 2012. The day before we recorded, however, Tom McShea’s “interview” with Greg Goodrich on Medal of Honor Warfighter for GameSpot came to our attention. Tom McShea is a “video game journalist” holding the position of “...[Read More]
Its true. She does. There’s video. And EA thinks this will help sell the game.
