Fortunately, we’ve attempted to take some of the confusion out of your Comic-Con experience with a complete schedule of all the TV panels. While some series have yet to announce specific details , the majority of television series have already confirmed their plans for Comic-Con 2

Whereas most Alien video games are about fighting waves of xenomorphs or directly controlling Read the Full Write-up deadly creatures, Alien: Isolation instead makes players virtually defenseless as they attempt to survive against not only a xenomorph, but also an army of violent androids. The alien is still the real star of the show though, and its invincibility and unpredictable nature make it one of the most terrifying monsters in gaming hist

Avoiding damage is practically impossible for Survivors. As a result, healing is a critical component for staying alive and winning the round. This makes Botany Knowledge a very handy perk for Survivors to stay al

Looking out for your friends is important in a game like this, and not only because you want them to repay the favor later. The game awards Bloodpoints for pulling people off hooks and for healing them (which is where your skill checks will come in handy aga

Frictional Games made a name for itself with Amnesia: The Dark Descent , a title that is largely responsible for the resurgence the horror genre has enjoyed in recent years. Its followup effort, Soma , may not have generated the same kind of buzz as Amnesia , but it is arguably the better, more polished game. Set in an underwater research facility filled with strange creatures, Soma is less about jump scares and more about building tension and scaring players with pure psychological hor

On top of that, some of Comic-Con’s fan-favorite TV series have been upgraded from the hallowed Ballroom 20, and will now be gracing the 5,000-seat Hall H. So, this year you won’t be able to simply sit in one room all day to catch many of the major television events has to offer at Comic-

Check your calendar, because Comic-Con 2011 will soon be upon us. With over 70 different TV panels confirmed for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, finding out when and where you’re favorite television series will be appearing is definitely easier said than d

It only takes a few seconds to do so if you’re relatively sure the killer isn’t right behind you (i.e., you can’t hear the heartbeat yet), it’s probably worth it if there’s not anything else pressing going on around

Desperate Measures is a simple perk but one that will certainly come in handy, as Survivors are being injured and hooked all the time. Even with multiple injured Survivors, players with this perk will end up being a huge savior to the other Surviv

Ace is a gambler and his perks reflect that lifestyle. Open-Handed increases the aura-reading of himself and his teammates which is only useful if they have aura reading abilities. Up The Ante increases the Luck stat for all living survivors, but diminishes with each dead survi

During my turn as a survivor, producer Matheiu Côté encouraged me to stick close to teammates, but not just for cooperation. He gleefully explained that often the best strategy for escaping the killer is to use your fellow survivors as a distraction. There’s cooperation only to a point, he said, because ultimately you only win if you get out alive. That dynamic extends to whether or not you want to save your teammates from death. You see, when the killer attacks you, he can’t actually kill you just yet. First, he has to hang you on a meat hook, which will slowly drain your life. You can tap a button to struggle and free yourself, but that will accelerate your rate of death significantly, which probably isn’t the best move unless the killer left to go hunt your friends. Sometimes the better move is instead to hang out on the hook for a little while and let a teammate come rescue you. Of course, there’s still real incentive to watch out for each other, like the ability to heal each other or work on fixing a generator together to speed things up. A one-on-one fight between you and the killer probably isn’t going to work out in your favor.

This tip is really all about finding a balance, though. Some people will linger by each hook until the person dies, which is far too long when everyone else is running around and repairing generators uninterrup

The now-defunct Telltale Games built its games around the idea of player choice having an impact on the narrative, but as many players discovered, those promises were mostly just smoke and mirrors. Until Dawn , on the other hand, incorporates player choice in a truly meaningful way, with players able to decide the fate of basically every playable character in the game. Playing like a big budget Telltale-style adventure game, Until Dawn is a fantastic homage to 80s slasher films with an engaging story full of surprises and scares, and it’s one of the most essential horror games of the last few ye
