There are a few things in FromSoftware’s RPGs that just sear themselves into the brain. The enormous sound effect that plays when you backstab an enemy; the YOU DIED text appearing on screen the first time you get pulverized by a boss; the white phantoms of other players appearing near safe havens, giving you the…

Fighting for your life is a thrill, but that’s not the only thing to enjoy in survival games….

As predictably as night following day, the last gasps of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has seemingly resulted in lost jobs. A CBC Radio Canada report says WB Games Montreal has eliminated 99 jobs, primarily among Keywords subcontractors working on its QA team.
