EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: Victor Vran: Overkill Edition - Xbox One
Victor Vran Overkill Edition is coming to PS4 and Xbox on June 6th
Victor Vran is coming to Xbox One, originally a PC game, console owners get this new "Overkill Edition" which is basically the original game with a few tweaks as well as two expansion packs.
Synoposis"Overkill Edition includes the fully updated and award winning Action RPG Victor Vran, the expansive Fractured Worlds & the legendary Motörhead: Through The Ages. Look your very best and reinforce your play style with a monumental arsenal of powerful weapons, game-changing outfits, wicked demon powers and fate-binding destiny cards.
Redefine how you play at any moment, even in the heat of battle. Modify your demon slaying loadout as you dodge deadly attacks, leap from towering locations and take on hordes of hideous beasts and cunning boss monsters. Fedora or no fedora, you decide! Slaying demons doesn't have to be a lonely affair - Form a pack and find even greater strength in numbers, to explore the story of the dark world together."
I have had the game about a week, and have played about 13 hours and reached Level 27 with my character, to give you an idea of how far into the game I reached.
You have two slots on your character for weapons, of which there are things like Swords, Guns, Lasers and Hammers to be assigned, then there are demon powers, which you can activate once filling up an on screen bar that fills as you hit people with your weapons. There also your usual items like health potions and bombs that you can use mid battle.
There is a Casual Mode (for people who prefer story) or a Normal Mode. These can be switched at any time, although some of the challenges are dependent on being on Normal Mode. It is worth noting though that Casual Mode is no walk over, and you will still find that you are easily killed if not prepared, so don't think you will just zoom through the whole game.
One thing that did annoy me is that there are a few bugs in this game, a few frame rate issues, which really shouldn't be a factor in 2017 and on what is a very powerful console, but the biggest bug and one that I really hope they fix before release date (June 6, 2017) is that sometimes the game will just freeze, the camera can still be moved about, I have uploaded a video below so you can see exactly what I mean.
Bug
Now this is frustrating as hell, especially in the middle of a big boss battle as you can see I was on in the video above. The only way to fix this was to quit the game completely, and restart it fresh, then it played ok. This happened to me about 5 times, and I can only hope they are aware of it and are working on a fix, since I've had this pre-release review copy, there has been one forced update, lets hope they get this sorted before the mass roll out, or else the various gaming forums will be full of people complaining.
Back to the game, and it is incredibly satisfying killing multiple enemies at once with big moves, or demon powers, although things can get a little bit repetitive at times, and some levels seem quite similar.
The graphics are beautiful however, they remind me of some of the older Final Fantasy games.
The game will cost you roughly £30 on both Xbox One and PS4 and you can purchase from the links below if you so choose.

On the PC the original game won many awards. Will it also win awards on the XBOX? That I don't know.
Personally I enjoyed the game, and knowing that any bugs will soon be fixed I am sure, this is definitely a game I could see myself coming back to time and time again just to complete all of the challenges.
I would give this game a strong 8/10 on the Gaming Couch Potato score board.
Even if you are not a fan of this type of game usually, give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

The X-Files Theme in a Major Key
Included as part of "Happy Birthday Chris Carter" courtesy of Gomnitus:
Interview with J. Lincoln Fenn by David Kempf
Her debut novel, POE, won the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror and went on to become an Amazon bestseller. DEAD SOULS was published in September 2016 by Gallery Books. The author grew up in New England and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of New Hampshire. Currently she lives in Seattle with her family, and is at work on THE NIGHTMARCHERS.
When did you first become interested in writing?
I think like all writers, I started out as an avid reader. I was the kid who checked out the maximum number of books from the library and wore holes in the fabric of the couch from reading. Then in college I knew I wanted to tell stories, but wasn’t sure what medium. So I took all the writing classes I could, from poetry, to screenwriting, playwriting, even acting and directing. My work is very dramatic - I look at it as a way to produce a movie in someone’s mind.
How did you get involved in fantasy/horror?
The strange thing is I started out trying to write a memoir about my parents’ deaths. And I just couldn’t nail it - it was too close. Then this character, Dimitri, started rumbling around in my head, and I wrote the first paragraph, so I wrote the first chapter, then the next, and these paranormal/urban fantasy elements surfaced, and I went with it. But it still has a lot of narrative details of things that really happened to me.
And then I’ve always been interested in the supernatural - in high school I had a copy of The Modern Witch’s Spellbook, I owned runestones and tarot cards, and as I grew older that interest pointed toward Eastern mysticism. I spent two years living in a Buddhist retreat center. And it seems to me that what we call reality is actually skimming the surface of something else. Fantasy/horror is where you can explore that creatively, and then walk away and say ‘ha ha, just a story, nothing to see here,’ when in actuality, there is.
Why do you think the deal with the Devil is so popular in horror fiction?
It’s interesting that you ask that, because Discover recently posted an article, The Origins of an Ancient Fairy Tale, where researchers think the ‘deal with the Devil’ story could possibly go back about seven thousand years. So it’s been pretty popular for a while.
It’s a story about human hubris and aspiration, avarice and ingenuity. There’s always this struggle between our base instincts and something higher. I think we’re all the characters in our stories - it’s a way to look at our complexity, try to make sense of it.
Why do you think horror and fantasy books remain so popular?
We’re very imaginative creatures, and we can’t quite be satisfied entirely with reality the way it is. We have to tinker with it, create new and different worlds. It’s also a place for us to look at the things that are too disturbing to look at directly.
The War of the Worlds was H.G. Wells’ attempt to get people to feel the shock and horror of a colonizing force with advanced weaponry and an agenda that’s unknowable. What that would feel like. A straightforward novel about British imperialism might have been harder to connect with emotionally.
What is it about Edgar Allan Poe do you believe is so timeless?
‘Worst ways to die’, hands down. It’s something we all worry about - how we’ll die - and he comes up with ingenious, torturous deaths that you will never, never get out of your head.
What inspires you?
The characters. I love it when I have a good idea of how the story will go, and then the characters take shape and change it. Something spooky happens in that I’m no longer the creator, but the recorder of what happens. I know it’s right when what I think doesn’t get in the way, and it just develops, like a photographic print in a chemical bath (yes, back when there was no such thing as digital cameras and dinosaurs roamed the earth).
What do you think the differences between American horror and British horror are?
What we’re afraid of plays a part in the kind of horror we’re drawn to. When I think about British horror, I think about societal collapse or the loss of order, like 28 Days Later, and with American horror we seem fascinated by the bogeyman, probably because we feel vulnerable to random acts of violence.
One of the things I love about British horror is the way it can blend suspense, horror, and comedy. It’s really hard to walk that line, adding a joke into a horrific situation, because it naturally releases tension. When I was writing POE, that was something I struggled with. I watched Shaun of the Dead and Being Human to see how they got away with it.
Do you see differences between the male and female writer’s perspective on the world?
If the writer is really good, it’s something you shouldn’t notice. I’ve read great work by male writers who really capture the experience of being a woman, and vice versa. To be a writer you need a high sense of empathy - the ability to feel another’s emotions. And you have to ruthlessly let a character be their flawed selves.
I had a few readers of POE complain the main character, Dimitri, was a bit misogynistic, (which he is), and then by extension think that I was misogynistic because I ‘wrote’ him that way. Others were surprised to find out I’m a woman because he was so ‘realistic.’ But human experience is human experience - we’re more the same than we are different.
What are your favorite horror books?
That would be a mighty long list, so I’m going to just point to a few of my new favorites. A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay, The Troop by Nick Cutter, John Langan’s The Fisherman, The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn and Harrowgate by Kate Maruyama. All guaranteed to keep you up a bit later at night.
What are some of your favorite horror movies?
The Grudge scared the bejeezus out of me and Stephen Spielberg’s War of the Worlds always leaves a disturbing taste in my mouth for days afterward. But my favorite popcorn/grab your partner’s hand/horror movie of all time is The Thing. I’d hate to see it remade with CGI.
What do you consider your greatest accomplishment as an artist?
Just getting published. It is a long, rocky, treacherous road and I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to reach so many readers.
Focus on writing the best book you can. Then toss it if you have to, and write a better one. There’s no shortcut, there’s no magic, it’s just a lot of sitting at your computer, typing, and your best move is to write a great book. Yes, social media is important, but if you have to choose between spending a half hour on social media or a half hour on writing, go for writing. It will open doors.
For some practical advice, when you’re writing a query letter to an agent or a book proposal, make sure it’s perfect. I mean perfect. If you write a good book, but toss off a query letter or synopsis that’s less than exciting or has a typo, you’re doing all that hard work a big disservice. Every writer hates writing a synopsis, but make sure yours is polished and interesting. Show it to friends and ask for an honest opinion.
What do you think of the rise in self-publishing?It can be a great opportunity for people who enjoy the business side of things - I know writers who have been extremely successful with that model. On the down side, there’s so much out there for free it makes it harder than ever to get your book noticed.
What are your current projects?
Coming out next is The Nightmarchers, a twisty, Lovecraftian-style horror story set on a remote island, and then I’m working on a three-book proposal that my agent will shop around.
For our readers we'd love a paragraph about yourself & your work.
Fenn began her horror career in the 7th grade when she entertained her friends at a sleepover by telling them the mysterious clanking noise (created by the baseboard heater) was in fact the ghost of a woman who had once lived in the farmhouse, forced to cannibalize her ten children during a particularly bad winter.
It was the last slumber party she was allowed to have.
Her most recent novel, Dead Souls, was called ‘wickedly entertaining’ by The New York Times, and Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, writing that it was “one of the scariest and best to come down the pike in ages....The narrative twists and turns are reminiscent of Dean Koontz or Stephen King at their finest. This story is horribly, horrifyingly awesome.”
In 2013, her debut novel POE won the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror and became a #1 bestseller in both Fantasy and Horror on Amazon.
The author grew up in New England, graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in English, and lives in Seattle with her family.

The Town of Light Video Game Illuminated By Stunning Photographic Exploration In Partnership With Leading London University
Watford, U.K. — May 24, 2017 — In partnership with developer LKA.it, leading independent games publisher Wired Productions is thrilled to confirm today that it has teamed up with London South Bank University to unveil a new website which explores, through a series of stunning imagery and video footage, the real location that inspired The Town of Light video game.
Wired Productions flew filmmaker, writer, and student at London South Bank University, Alexandra Furssedonn Howard to Volterra, Italy to document the now defunct ‘Ospedale Psichiatrico di Volterra’ complex and surrounding area for a three-day shoot. Inspired by the peeling paint, abandoned furniture, and ominous mannequins, Alexandra looked to her love of gothic horror and the psychological when creating the Volterra art film and accompanying photographic galleries.
Set within the sleepy Tuscan village of Volterra against picture-perfect, rolling countryside, the ramshackle remains of the asylum have been expertly captured through a series of breathtaking photographs and videos – all available to view on this specially created website, link below:

Getting out into the field is something that is highly encouraged at LSBU and no doubt this will be a great launch pad for greater things for Alexandra. We are very proud of her achievement.”
In the Town of Light, players explore the Ospedale Psichiatrico di Volterra through the fictional eyes of Renée, a 16-year-old girl suffering from the symptoms of mental illness, players must search for answers to the many questions of her past while exploring and uncovering the place where she spent most of her youth. What happens next is a dark and emotional journey where the lines of interactive entertainment, storytelling and reality frequently tend to blur.
