Bendy and the Ink Machine (XS) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "From the top of his sharpened horns to the soles of his feet, Bendy is an inspired analogue of Mickey Mouse with – ironically – a similar marketing function in mind; likewise, Ink Machine ultimately serves as a pastiche of other horror templates. The reason the former finds greater success than the latter comes down to one thing: focus. By hastily tracing so many personalities, and oftentimes whipping between them at Mach speed, there's less time (and less reason) to understand why that gimmick or design ethos made the experience so engaging to begin with. It's clear (real-life) Joey Drew Studios has the ambition to build on an intriguing concept; now it just needs better craftsmanship."

Higher Tier PlayStation Plus Members Can Claim These 10 Spooky Games For Free

If you don’t plan on trick-or-treating or going to a Halloween-themed party, the next best thing is to relax with a spooky game, and PlayStation Plus members can get some cool games for free. If you’re a PS+ subscriber, there are a bunch of games perfect for Halloween that you can get completely for free.

Note: Some games require higher PS+ tier levels to enjoy free.

TriniOutsider226d ago

Can we stop with the word "Free" when it comes to these subscription services, please? These games aren't free if people are paying for the service.

Juancho51226d ago

Calm down, we all know what it means. You’re not paying for the individual game, it’s included. Stop acting outraged over nothing.

TriniOutsider225d ago

Your response is exactly what's wrong with gaming today.

I've always against subscription based gaming services.

1nsomniac225d ago

He doesn't need to calm down. He's stating what is factual and what should be common sense, however it's clear some people still don't understand this.

It is not free. You do not receive them if you're not paying the subscription to receive them. No ones getting angry other than yourself. He's just stating the simple common sense that no one is receiving a free game they are receiving a game "included" in their subscription plan - That they pay for!

False and manipulative writing/advertisement is wrong and counts on the less educated letting it go unchallenged.

Elda225d ago

Exactly. If anyone wants to play any of these games through PS+ one has to pay a monthly subscription fee which means it's not free.

@TriniOutsider

We all know what it means, no one is confused, chill.

TheNamelessOne226d ago (Edited 226d ago )

All great games, honestly. Though, I did feel The Devil In Me was the worst game that Supermassive has put out.

LoveSpuds225d ago

I went out and bought Dredge, one of my favourite games i have played this year.

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a chance.

Nacho_Z225d ago

Dredge is great, really enjoyed it. One of my favourites too and something original as well.

derek225d ago

Alan Wake 2 is available in the subscription?

1nsomniac225d ago

No. It's just a really poorly written article. Alan Wake 2 is part of the subscriptions "Trial" section - So it's simply a demo, that's all.

Simple "bait and switch" article trying to get hits using manipulative writing.

derek225d ago

Oh, ok. I looked on the app and saw the trial available thought I was missing something.

Study Finds Games 'Can be Good for the Mind'

eeey its been a while since ive seen that pic haha

franwex546d ago (Edited 546d ago )

Like many people, I work with crappy computers at work. I have noticed that gamers are capable of working around tech issues and get stuff done.
They need less guidance with software updates or new software that gets implemented.
Decades of buggy, incomplete games really help with problem solving.

gold_drake546d ago

yeh, work pcs are shiiit

where i work, all pcs are still windows 7 haha.

all of the programs are so old and outdated it hurts.
but that issue will stay that way as not everyone is familiar with pcs and the older generation is ... more or less helpless with them haha. not all of them of course but most of them
