We’ve got original editorials, podcasts, livestreams, reviews, previews, and gamer culture articles queued up and ready for eyeballs and earholes and any other holes in your face that you care to use. You’ll be hearing all about the video games we… Continue reading
I’ve never thought all that much about death, killing, and self-preservation. Maybe I just haven’t had to; maybe I’ve been sheltered. Stepping into the shoes of the Ghost of Sparta has certainly been an eye-opening experience. There is much to be learned from the guy we all lovingly know as Kratos and God of War… Continue reading
Never judge a book by its cover and never judge a game by the cover art. My initial opinions on Kingdom Hearts were 100% wrong. I thought the game would be corny and only kid friendly. My experiences with Kingdom Hearts have grown into a very tumultuous love affair. Throughout February, Horrible Night will be… Continue reading
The best gaming decision of my college career was jumping ship to climb aboard the Sony boat. All of my gaming energy was dedicated to the PS2, and their exclusive titles were the icing on the cake. Coming off of my Nintendo fanboy cycle I had gotten used to their mascots, their gameplay polish, their… Continue reading
When asked about their favorite games involving superhuman protagonists (that aren’t licensed DC or Marvel characters), most people would probably reference Infamous or Prototype, two games that gave players immense powers and whole cities to wreak havoc in. While I enjoyed both games, my fondest memories of that genre actually came a whole generation ago,… Continue reading

From the N64 to the PS3 see which selections awed us and which raised eyebrows. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow Truthfully,… Continue reading
We don’t see as many new franchises by new developers these days, especially in the crowded genres of 3rd person action games and shooters. this is probably for good reason, as it is hard to for games to separate themselves from the pack. Deviating too much from the norms of a popular genre can pretty… Continue reading
Everyone is curious as to when we will get details on the next Grand Theft Auto games. Most of the rumors claim that GTA will return to San Andreas, which makes me quite happy. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is, in my humble opinion, the best game in the series. The depth of this title… Continue reading
Very few movies turn into competent video games. Whether it’s the push to meet unrealistic deadlines or the nature of using games as marketing materials, the bar tends to be set quite low. When a game does surpass expectations, it does so by understanding the important themes present in the movie and how to transition… Continue reading
If Bulletstorm doesn’t soak up all of your attention in February, you might want to check out Sony’s 3rd installment to the well-known and exclusive Killzone series. I’ve always had a soft spot for Killzone. I think it stems back from not owning an original xbox and having access to Halo: Combat Evolved. Killzone was… Continue reading
We have to admire the Japanese for their lack of censorship and abundance of creativity, but I really would’ve liked to have been in on the creative discussion for accessories to hear how they came up with this nifty device. Even if their intentions were pure, our great society managed to find a way to… Continue reading
With The Horrible Show focusing on the PC vs Console debate this week, we wanted to open up another side of that conversation to REPLY TO ALL this week. We asked The Cursed what their favorite controller of all time is, and it took us to a very uncomfortable place involving Jaguars: JDevL For me,… Continue reading
