Developer Asmodev just released a new trailer for its game Mercyful Flames and for anyone following the game Inquisitor: The Hammer of Witches, it may look a bit familiar. Ultimately, Asmodev decided to change the title to Mercyful Flames, as the original sounded a bit clunky. This new name not only rolls off the tongue a bit better, but it also works very well with the theme of the game itself, which revolves around disturbing cults during the dark ages, as well as torture, fire, and burning at the stake....

If you’ve got NBA League Pass or even just enough discretionary income to have a cable or satellite package that allows you to check out regionally-televised games from time to time, you probably loathe certain local announcers. They’re the biggest homers since Bart and Lisa Simpson’s dad, and with good reason — the teams pay them to be. Some are so annoying, you probably just watch the game on mute like the rest of the country does whenever Reggie Miller calls a game....

Perhaps one of the most important details in the trailer is the reveal of the game’s release window, which will be during the first half of 2023.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is an action RPG that follows a woman named Aloy through a world ruled by giant machine dinosaurs. This stealthy action game made quite a splash in 2017 when it was originally released exclusively to PS4.

With the horror genre, replay value can be tricky. Much of what makes horror games scary and therefore effective is the unknown. Jump scares and other classic tricks work their best with the element of surprise, and once that’s gone, some games don’t have much to offer. Other horror games stand the test of time, offering players something to look forward to every time they return. Here are the horror titles with the best replay value....
