GamesRadar - Pain and injury are usually so abstract in video games. Most of the time you only care if it lops off a portion of your health bar - and even then, only until you can find a medkit or engage in some self-healing breathing exercises. But some video games seem delight in injury so much that they transcend the beatdowns we've come to expect and willingly, enthusiastically, inflict sympathetic pain in their audience.
The upcoming film Alien: Romulus will include a special Easter egg that fans of the 2014 game Alien: Isolation will recognize.
I hope it’s a great Alien movie and not a mediocre one. I thought they would do a movie after Prometheus next so I’m a bit disappointed as I wanted new information but it seems to be in between previous movies. Don’t f it up please.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
The catched the woke virus after that, saying for MK 10 that "Female Characters Will Be More Realistically Proportioned". You could still rip a spine or blow a head in a bloody explosion, but don't you dare to show a side boob or all hell will break loose.
The ladies in MK9 look like men in drag. They are so buff and their faces are so bad, I don’t feel like we lost anything aside from some sexy costumes. But sexy costumes in drags do not appeal to me.
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Noice! Metal Gear Solid takes 2 spots (though the alternative to the first one mentioned was definitely more gruesome if you messed up).
The second MGS moment mentioned was way too emotional for me.
Pretty decent list.
I think ot was Dead Space 2 that had the needle in the eye. That could be on here.
Any time in Dark Souls when you face more than one enemy at a time. Whether it's two Hollows with torches, two bell Gargoyles, Ornstein and Smough, you're gonna have a bad time.
"We knew how much fun it is to fight one at a time, here's a another for double the enjoyment. hehehe."
I don't know why, but none of those on the list made me cringe, probably b/c I'm too acclimatized now... but I DO KNOW that the one in Heavy Rain freaked me the F out. It was unbearable for the subsequent play-throughs too :/
