Yep, that’s MadWorld on the cover… there must be huge debates about cover games every month. Dark-and-violent or Wii-Mom-friendly? Lately they’ve been choosing “hardcore” topics no doubt so they visually compete with all the bald space marine junk that graces the cover of every other surviving games mag these days. So let’s get Mad and [...]

Hail Of Bullets - ...Of War And Pain (2008)

Loadown - Metal Music Blog (Free subscription) | 07/01/2008

Formed by members of several Dutch death metal bands, Martin van Drunen being one of them (this should already say enough) others have played with bands such as Thanatos, Gorefest, Houwitser and Asphyx, just to mention a few. Musically, they draw influence from old school death bands. The concept of the album takes place at the Eastern Front of World War II, the German-Soviet War. The music perfectly...

Wanted: Movie Review

Fish1000.Biz (Free subscription) | 06/24/2008

Wanted is a gleefully violent action gorefest, noisy and entertaining. Slightly let down by a cliche-ridden scene in which Angelina Jolie relates her secret origin ("...And that little girl.... Was ME!!"), and the 'Loom of Fate' thing was a little perplexing, but otherwise not a bad excuse to buy overpriced popcorn. 4 stars!

Review: 'The Strangers'

A gruesomely relentless gorefest to avoid.

Book Review: Blood Meridian

Note: This is Book #24 of my 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge for 2008. Since I had enjoyed The Road by Cormac McCarthy so much, I decided to pick up what is supposed to be his most impressive work, Blood Meridian or, The Evening Redness in the West....

Death of conservatism gorefest!

Crunchy Con (Free subscription) | 05/22/2008

Man, reading George Packer's long New Yorker essay on "The Fall of Conservatism" is so full of nougaty goodness you don't want it to end. The recriminations in November are going to be delicious. By all means, read the whole...

Platinum, formerly Clover, resurfaces with new games for just about everyone.

Aeropause (Free subscription) | 05/20/2008

A few days ago, we finally heard some real noise from the talented folks who formerly comprised the inarguable core of Capcom's Clover Studios team back until shortly after the release of Okami. Here’s a refresher in case you missed the last thirty or so I gave you: Clover underperformed at the cash register, so [...]

The first set pics of Megan Fox from JENNIFER'S BODY hit the nets... NOT SAFE FOR WORK! NSFW! Seriously!

Ain't it Cool News (Free subscription) | 05/12/2008

Ahoy, squirts! here. For some reason I think this might be a popular story here... can't really put my finger on why...JENNIFER'S BODY, the next script from Diablo Cody, is a gory flick about a cheerleader that plays host to a demon... and starts eating her classmates. I read the script and it's actually a really fun story... Cody's voice is very much present, but instead of an indie movie it's a darkly...

At last, zombie chickens get their revenge

adfreak (Free subscription) | 05/12/2008

Just when you thought horror movies had absolutely plumbed the depths of zombie apocalypse justifications, along comes Troma to — as usual — contribute an utterly implausible gorefest with a great soundtrack. This time it's Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken...

Vampire-slaying tomato, basil & marinated feta skewers

Afrigator (Free subscription) | 05/08/2008

Don't get me wrong - I love vampire lore. I read Salem's Lot as a teenager and loved every minute of it. Interview with the Vampire enthralled me. Nosferatu is, visually speaking, one of my all-time favourite films - both the 1922 original and the 1979 remake. And what's not to love about the gleefully over-the-top gorefest that is From Dusk Till Dawn? Or the uber-cool Blade? I could explain to you...

Frontier(s) - movie review

As a horror movie, Xavier Gens' gruesome Frontier(s) is all mechanism and little flavor. As a mechanism, it throttles, slashes, upchucks,

New Splatterhouse pics - should it have stayed 2D?

xbox360 (Free subscription) | 05/01/2008

For those who don't recognise the name, the original Splatterhouse was an arcade game released in the late Eighties. A side-scrolling beat-em-up, Splatterhouse was one of the first titles that really mixed horror and videogames. You controlled Rick, a student whose girlfriend Jennifer was kidnapped inside the titular mansion, and who was transformed into a superhuman beefcake with a penchant for beating...

DVD Review: Inside

Blogger News Network (Free subscription) | 04/24/2008

With the introduction of the Saw franchise into the mainstream film mentality a few years ago, along with Eli Roth’s Hostel movies, a new type of horror, commonly referred to as torture porn, has been introduced. Constantly one-upping each other in terms of gore and violence, these films seek to disturb the viewer not with [...]
