While film and television remain ongoing, pixels are finally welcomed to cultural family.

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson (famously used in Mortal Kombat 3):
"There is no knowledge that is not power."

I’ve wanted someone to mention this! RE Village, Layer of Fear, come to mind recently and I just love the eerie historical ambience it creates. I even like the small, random art depicting shadows of people or objects laying around.
ReplyDeletehi there, yes layers of fear and a whole lot more will be brought at some point, as will the entire resident evil franchise. stay tuned.
