Evil Nun: The Broken Mask Review – You’ll be praying for death

There was a moment in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League where I set down my controller, wiped the tears from my eyes, looked at my TV and said aloud, “How. Dare. You.”  I got up, took the dog outside, grabbed something to drink, and whatever else I could think to waste a little time.  I just needed a moment.  I couldn’t believe that a game about otherwise expendable prisoners being coerced into para-military service to save the world could make me both laugh and tear up during the same 15-hour campaign.  

In the past few years, Metroidvanias and action-adventure platformers have seen a resurgence. Ori and the Blind Forest, Hollow Knight and Dead Cells have breathed new life into the genre, bringing fresh ideas to its established ethos. There's also a renewed appetite for challenging games. Dark Souls came around in 2011 and redefined what one could take away from a video game. They can be fun, sure. But they can be punishing, too. Fast forward a decade, and we now have people playing Elden Ring with a steering wheel. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Ubisoft's latest Metroidvania action-adventure platformer, assimilates elements from these games and subgenres to tread familiar ground, but it does so in its own unique ways.

Besides Wolverine, is set to include several cameos from previous Fox-Marvel movies. But will Ben Affleck’s Daredevil also have a cameo? Here’s everything you need to know.

Iconic actor Mads Mikkelson will not be returning for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, creator Hideo Kojima has confirmed, with the tragic tale of his character, Cliff Unger, having been resolved in the original Death Stranding.Kojima confirmed the news on Twitter in response to fan inquiries about the star returning.

Yellow Paint Discourse has once again hit the gamer networks. Shortly after the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo went live, players and developers once again argued about the pros/cons of highlighting interactable objects with bright yellow paint.

Looking into a new TV around Super Bowl Sunday is a tradition for a lot of people, and it can be a headache to decide which model to buy. I think it’s worth it for a lot of people to think long and hard about this decision because a lot of money may be on the line. But for the rest of you — come in closer — I’m just going to tell you one model that I think is great for the price.

It shouldn't be a relief when you see the credits roll at the end of a video game. You want to feel satisfied with the experience you've had, not just glad that it's over so you can move onto other things.

Imagine a world where your worst nightmares have come true.  The apocalypse has come, and people all around are dying or disappearing.  Now imagine that the peacekeepers and freedom fighters are the source of all the chaos. In a world gone mad, almost all the people you are accustomed to relying on for help have gone rogue.  Such is the premise of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. 

So we haven’t done one of our “where is our review” posts in a while, because frankly, we generally get copies of AAA games on time. Although there have been bumps in the road every so often, most gaming publishers want people to try out their games early, from the press to content creators, to any number of other folks in this modern media landscape.

There was a time when Hi-Fi music systems used to be all the rage. Remember the bulky surround sound systems with a cassette and CD player offered by brands like Sony and Phillips? Good times. However, that market has now completely changed, and rarely does anyone have that much space to place four different speakers and a chunky amplifier alongside the TV. This need for a compact sound system has led to the popularity of soundbars. Why have big, bulky music systems in place when all you require is a soundbar and a subwoofer that provide a sound quality that is excellent? These devices fulfill most of the home entertainment needs, be it jamming with your friends on your favourite AC/DC, Journey, or U2 tracks, or watching the latest Christopher Nolan flick in a theatre-like experience at home. Soundbars can do it all. Nowadays, you don't need to shell out big bucks to purchase a decent sound system, as many brands offer great soundbars at an affordable price. Therein lies the problem. With so many options in the market, it can be a daunting task to pick the right one.

Suicide Squad’s “early access” period will start to go live around the world late Monday night on consoles (and 10am PT Tuesday on Steam), which means that’s when it’s officially out, practically speaking. Unfortunately, we won’t have a review of Rocksteady’s new game-as-a-service looter shooter for you right away, as codes have not been sent ahead of time – in fact, Warner Bros. Games informed IGN that it has declined to send us codes at all.

Rocksteady Studios’ long anticipated Arkhamverse sequel Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be available to play for those who have preordered it on Jan 30, and to the public at large on its official release date of Feb. 2.
