The modern classic mystery game Immortality is finally coming to PS5 on January 23 and it'll cost 20, which is in line with the price on other platforms. It already exists on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Android and iOS. The game was originally released back in 2022. For the uninitiated, Immortality is more of an interactive film trilogy than a video game, recalling full-motion titles from the 1990s. The surreal narrative tasks you with solving the disappearance of an actress named Marissa Marcel.

Halloween might be over, but the scary memories last a lifetime, at least for me. I do not like horror. I am one of the world's biggest wusses, and feeding my imagination with nightmare fuel will keep me up at night for weeks. I was recently so disturbed by a simple bus advert for the movie Smile that I read the Wikipedia summary of the plot, and just that was enough to screw with my sleep. My partner, meanwhile, cannot get enough of disgusting films and terrifying games, so he's delighted to be living through something of a golden age for video game horror.

After ten years in exile, fans of gruelling psychological horror can finally pack their bags: Silent Hill is reopening to visitors. During a YouTube presentation on Wednesday evening, Konami announced a reboot of the acclaimed sequel Silent Hill 2 and two new adventures, Silent Hill Townfall and Silent Hill F. A new movie tie-in, Return to Silent Hill, and an interactive live stream series, Silent Hill Ascension, were also teased. The remake is being developed by the Polish studio Bloober Team, known for horror titles such as Blair Witch and The Medium. Also involved are key members of the original Silent Hill development team, including the composer Akira Yamaoka and concept artist Masahiro Ito, best known for his creation of Silent Hill's most infamous monster, Pyramid Head. During an interview video shown as part of the presentation, Bloober Team's creative director, Mateusz Lenart, explained that while the studio wanted to stay true to the atmosphere of the original game, certain elements were being modified for the modern era; this would include a move from a third-person camera to an "over-the-shoulder" viewpoint.

When a video game is successful, a string of sequels is usually inevitable. With fans clamoring for more, developers want to deliver. Sometimes these follow-ups run out of ideas, and many series overstay their welcome, but some are gone too soon. We've handpicked a few franchises that disappeared abruptly despite their success. All of them deserve a reboot, a remake, or a remaster.

Sonic the Hedgehog - the spiky blue hero who has spent his life fighting Doctor Robotnik - is making his way to the big screen. The computer game character will move from SEGA consoles to film with a mix of CGI and live action techniques, according to the Hollywood Reporter. But will the move from the gamer's chair to the cinema seat pay off for Sonic and friends? We take a look at some of the other gaming giants that have become blockbusters - and whether they have been a success. The famous fighting game made its way out of the arcades and into live action when one of the action genre's biggest stars took on the role.

When director Justin Kurzel re-teamed with cinematographer Adam Arkapaw and Oscar-caliber actors Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard for Assassin's Creed after working together on the critically-acclaimed Macbeth, we thought we might have our first great video game movie adaptation at last. Early reviews are now rolling in for the film, which opens tomorrow nationwide, and they aren't pretty. The film currently sits at a 20% at Rotten Tomatoes with only 6 out of 23 reviews being positive. Yes, film reviews can tick up and down, but it's extremely unlikely that a movie starting out this low will ever make its way up to "fresh." And yes, Rotten Tomatoes is often flawed, but it's not usually wildly off the mark.
