Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan Available On Steam
Steam is a haven for indie titles, and the games that they allow to see the mainstream world is as vast as the gamers that play them. And now, a new type of anime platformer has arrived in the form of Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan. What sets this game apart from others is that its mythology is based in that of African cultures. Here is a breakdown of the game and its features: Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is the 1st anime-like 2D real-time action role playing game set in an African-themed mythological universe. Gameplay mechanics are inspired by the “Tales of” series. Play as Prince Enzo and his wife Erine, who have been victims of a coup d’état in the Kingdom of Zama, and want to get their throne back. Explore six continents as you jump, dash and fight in combats à la Super Smash Bros. Behind this basic pitch lays one of the deepest story written in game: A complete universe to answer the big question “What is

Pet Graveyard Coming To DVD And Digital
Proportion Productions and Millman Productions.will be releasing their latest horror creation, Pet Graveyard, to disc-based and digital platforms this April. Does April happen to be around the time the big-screen remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary comes out? You guessed correctly! Pet Graveyard, however, contains a few changes in its cemetery-based plot to make it just different enough. In this movie, no one’s using a supernatural ritual to resurrect their dead kid. Instead they’re using a less glamorous ritual that involves slamming a plastic bag over one’s head until they suffocate, briefly die, and see their loved ones again. So instead of stealing from Pet Sematary, it actually steals from Flatliners. Go figure. The Grim Reaper isn’t happy about what these kids are doing! And neither is his cat. Of course he has a pet — even the personification of death gets lonely sometimes. The cat stalks them with glowing red eyes, waiting for the opportunity to take their souls. What the movie lacks in originality, it gains in the
Monster Hunter Movie Dated For 2020
Last year during NYCC, Capcom and Sony Pictures announced they were developing a Monster Hunter movie. Now we know when the long-running video game series will make its big-screen debut: September 2020. The husband-and-wife team of Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich will be involved. He directs, she stars — the usual deal. They have worked with both Sony and Capcom before at making a whopping six movies out of the latter’s Resident Evil franchise. We figure Paul and Milla’s Monster Hunter adaption will hit the same thematic notes as all their Resident Evil movies did. Expect lots of slo-mo dodging of hazards. Monster Hunter will also star Ron Perlman (the original Hellboy), Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), T.I. Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta, Josh Helman and Jin An-Yeung. “After living and breathing in the universe of Monster Hunter for 14 years we are thrilled with enormous anticipation to see our creations adapted for a theatrical release,” says Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of the Monster Hunter series. The Monster Hunter movie is one
The First Child’s Play Reboot Trailer Is Out
31 years after he first popped out of the Good Guys package, Chucky has been reborn by MGM in the Child’s Play reboot, set for later this year. This was done without the permission of creator Don Mancini and his crew, who are feeling a bit stabby right now themselves. Mancini is still moving forward with a Chucky TV series that uses the original continuity, which he is apparently in legal right to do, just as MGM has the legal permission to make this alternate version. So how does it look? We wish we could show you, but for some reason Popgeeks has always had a terrible time embedding tweets. The best we can do is this; click the link below to see more. The wait is over, your best friend has arrived.

Hulu Announces FOUR Marvel Animated Comedies
The old king is dead, long live the king. The recent trend of adult-oriented Marvel dramas on Netflix will soon be replaced by….adult-oriented Marvel comedy cartoons on Hulu. Can’t say we saw that one coming. Yes, soon you’ll be able to see Howard the Duck, MODOK, Hit-Monkey and Dazzler in their own separate shows. Perhaps they will join forces eventually in a fifth series called “The Offenders.” But at the moment, here are Marvel’s official descriptions for each series, beginning with MODOK: • M.O.D.O.K. centers around an egomaniacal supervillain with a really big head and a really little body, who struggles to maintain control of his evil organization and his demanding family. Writers Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt will also executive produce. Sounds like fun. Moving on…. • Hit-Monkey tells the tale of a wronged Japanese snow monkey, mentored by the ghost of an American assassin, as he cuts a wide swath through the Tokyo underworld in this darkly cinematic and brutally funny revenge saga. Writers Josh Gordon and Will
Aladdin Trailer: You Can’t Unsee The Will Smith Genie
We now know what Will Smith will look and sound like when he appears as Genie in Disney’s Aladdin remake. Are you truly ready? The big question hovering over this picture was who they could possibly get to replace the irreplaceable Robin Williams. It was later announced they had settled for Will Smith. Disney waited quite a long time to show us what that looks like. Last night, during the Grammys, they dared to give us our first look….and now we know why they were hiding Genie for so long. This is about the level of CGI we would see on “Once Upon A Time” when that was running. Some have compared Smith here to the Navi from Avatar, but the difference is, the Navi looked much more realistic by comparison. This floaty thing with a buff body, gigantic neck and plastic skin….well, he makes ME think of the CGI Dwayne Johnson that showed up in the climax of The Mummy Returns. It’s that bad. And the one line of
Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey Now Available On Steam
Developer Proud Dinosaur has released their puzzle-based, story-heavy platformer epic, Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey, on Steam.

You play as the mouse-bunny hybrid Bilby, who has been separated from her children after a massive hurricane. She has to find them, but countless obstacles are in her way. You must clear them for her. Good thing Bilby’s species — whatever it is — possesses magical abilities. She’ll be able to use these abilities, as well as the water physics engine, to solve the puzzles in each area and advance. The last time we reported on Macrotis, it didn’t have a trailer. We’re pleased to report that it now does, so you can try before you buy (with your eyeballs). Check the bottom of this post., but developer Proud Dinosaurs did not provide one in the press release. Fully voiced story Cute character design with magical abilities Challenging puzzle platforming design Eye-catching art style Professionally produced

Free League Announces The Call Of Cthulhu
They’ve brought us Tales from The Loop, Mutant: Year Zero, and other tabletop projects…..now Free League Publishing has revealed their first major new product of 2019. They’re going straight to HP Lovecraft’s perennially popular world and answering The Call of Cthulhu. What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise… An unspeakable horror, something beyond reality itself, is haunting humanity. In the shadows, those dwell who wish to spread madness and destruction. Are you one of those ready to awaken ancient powers in the the depth? Will you help to bring forth the end of the world? This isn’t an original story inspired by Lovecraft’s writing…this IS Lovecraft’s writing. It’s the actual Call of Cthulhu, brought to life by the acclaimed artist François Baranger. Is it just a book or is there a tabletop game attached? The press release makes it unclear, but we won’t have to wait long for answers. Free League’s Kickstarter for The Call Of Cthulhu will begin one week from now, February 15. Pledge tiers and bonuses will be
Mortal Kombat 1, the first 17 minutes
In Mortal Kombat’s earlier versions, Raiden was seen as a dignified Elder God due to his age and status. But in this new timeline, he’s a young mortal, more carefree and like a friendly buddy than a respected deity. At Mrs. Bo’s Tea House, they decided to playfully spar, being friendly rivals. After their match, Mrs. Bo scolded them, then served tasty food. People wonder if Mrs. Bo is Bo Rachel’s spouse, the teacher of Liu Kang and Kung Lao in the old timeline. Another idea is she might be a version of Bo Rachel in this timeline, as she taught them martial arts. While they ate, Lin Kuei ninjas bothered Mrs. Bo, like mafia extorting money. Smoke attacked when she refused to pay. Kung Lao beat Smoke, then faced Sub-Zero and Scorpion Nex, ending the story mode demo. Mortal Kombat 1 story, first 17 minutes The story’s beginning shows Shang Tsung still alive in this new timeline. Instead of being a sorcerer, he’s a con artist selling
Flame Fatales 2023 Raises $110,835 for Malala Fund
Last week Games Done Quick organized another Flame Fatales event: the summer marathon for the Frame Fatales, a group of female video game speedrunners. The event ran from Sunday, August 13 through Saturday, August 20, and a lot of cool stunts and glitches were performed. But the real purpose of the Flame (and Frost) Fatales runs is to raise money for Malala Fund, a non-profit organization devoted to the education of young girls worldwide (which is harder to get in some countries than others). Though it’s a quieter event than GDQ’s summer and winter marathons, and doesn’t run for 24 hours a day, it’s no slouch either — this year’s Flame Fatales raised over a hundred thousand bucks. The full archive of Flame Fatales 2023 speedruns can be watched at any time on the GDQ YouTube channel. Here are a couple of runs we found most interesting: Did you know you can beat Pokemon Blue in one hour — and in REVERSE order? That means challenging the last Gym Leader
