SplatterHouse

Splatter House release date

Last night I went to the Metal Hammer Golden Gods music awards and Namco were sponsoring the event with their remake of the 80s classic Splatterhouse. We got VIP access and a presentation on a boat where we also got to try the game out as well. In the game you play as Rick who must rescue his girlfriend from the evil Dr West.

It basically gives Darius superhuman powers so now he can become invisible, destroy walls with...

Red Dead Redemption

So, in this Western you play as John Marston, a man who’s trying to be good after leaving a gang of naughty people. He’s come to the Wild West to confront the gang leader and stop him before he goes after John’s wife and kids. After being shot at the start of the game he’s taken in by some of the...
