News by Matt S. The Coma was a 2D, sidescrolling stalker horror game that had a strong premise, but ultimately failed to back that up in a substantive way. The good news is that it sold well enough for the developers to take a second crack at it, and The…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Given the success of the remake of Resident Evil 2, it should probably come as no surprise that Capcom would do the exact same thing with Resident Evil 3 at some point and… that’s exactly what has happened. And of course it looks good. This new…

They’re not necessarily commercial works however, which is why Experience is now relying on crowdfinding for the third in the…
Read MoreList by Matt S. Halloween is surely the part of the year that the games industry relishes the most. Making seasonal games for Christmas don’t work because you can’t sell them the rest of the years. Easter (or any other season) is too culturally-specific. Horror, on the other hand, is…
Read MoreAhhh Halloween. That special time of year where it’s fun to be spooked. As is traditional for us, we take a look at some of the themed games you should be playing this year. As it’s also the last week of the month, we also talk about all the games…
