Instead of Eggs, Maybe Dusting off Predator Hunting Grounds is A Better Option

Some people may well want other ideas on what to hunt for this Easter, and the news about Predator Hunting Grounds getting updates is good news!

Predator Hunting GroundsEaster doesn’t have to be about hunting for eggs in the real world. For fans of Predator Hunting Grounds, an asymmetrical multiplayer video game, new content is finally coming!

Summoning Up Players for Magic Chaos May Be The Greatest Challenge of Them All

After spending two weeks in Magic Chaos, the real challenge is in finding folks interested in trying this party game with you.

Magic Chaos Title CardMagic Chaos is a type of video game where you can play a magical girl become a Terminator! Although I expected cut scenes showing these heroines transforming into new modes (costumes) between matches, I had not progressed far enough to find out. Instead, what’s created by Super Starmine is a party-based player versus player product rather than something to enjoy alone. It’ll most likely do well at an anime convention’s arcade room, and thus, in that environment, finding people to play against is not as difficult as online.

I adjusted my schedule to Japan time to see if I could find anyone during the time I spent with this early release, and didn’t find many folks. Players can set up rooms for other gamers to join, and during the times I checked, there were not many. The fact they are “locked” made me think the option exists to limit who you want in. When I turned to Discord, the mostly Japanese written discussion forum made it tough to figure out which channel is appropriate to ask if someone would like to take part in a match.

With Nyaaaanvy, Video Gamers Don’t Have To Be Fighter-Saavy to Enjoy the Craziness Going On

The reason why this videogame is called Nyaaaanvy is that the Japanese onomatopoeia for cat’s meow is nya!

Nyaaaanvy Title CardNow Available on Steam and Nintendo Switch

Nyaaaanvy is a rather fun physics-based 3D fighting game which features sausage-like kitties attacking each other with their butts! It’s less about claiming an alpha status on every rooftop (or other oddly shaped arenas with moving parts) where they nest. Like real life cats, they have their places where they prefer to hang out, and here, it’s all about who has the power.

With Kill it With Fire 2, This Sequel isn’t as Creepy Crawly, But Still Fun Nonetheless!

When considering the homages to busting bugs in many a film or tv series (horror or sci-fi), playing the Kill It With Fire 2 Demo is very satisfying. But what else is hiding behind that huge web?

Kill It With Fire 2 PosterAnyone who has played Casey Donnellan Games‘ flagship first person shooter where you get to squash, roast or shoot down spiders will love Kill It With Fire 2. The core mechanics remain the same, but what’s more epic is that all those crazy weapons that one finds in sci-fi bug squashing adventures, namely Aliens, are featured here! I haven’t found them all yet, but I’m sure they exist!

Unlike the original, where it’s about busting these arachnoids in an urban home setting, and causing as much collateral damage as possible indoors and outdoors. My review of the VR version can be read here, and what’s been expanded upon is an epic cosmic battle with this critter! Although I rarely thought of spiders as truly alien, this game has changed my mind. They exist throughout the galaxy in one strange form or another, including mechanoids. As a result, I’m wondering if there’s a hybrid human and spider creature (known as the Drow in Dungeons and Dragons) lurking around? Maybe they exist, and only time will tell if it’s in the game or will be part of an expansion.

After Paper Ghost Stories 7PM, what’s next in this franchise is titled Third Eye Open. Just what will you see here?

Paper Ghost Stories Third Eye OpenA new chapter of Cellar Vault Game’s Paper Ghost Stories is here. Titled, Third Eye Open, this latest instalment is guaranteed to chill, and perhaps even cause some gamers to sleep with the lights on. This demo is available on Steam (PC), and will be released to all platforms by Summer 2024.

This award-winning anthology of creepy tales inspired by Malaysian and Chinese myths and culture will unravel even further as gamers take on new challenges. I’ve played the first game (review link) and still have the shivers, thinking back at what I couldn’t accomplish. There were some harrowing moments. And for the latest, there may even be a “Hungry Ghost” component when considering the season.
