#EyzTalks - Survival Horror land

Today let's talk about a genre I love. Survival Horror!


I'm a fan of the genre... but even so I have to admit... Most of the genre's iconic series have gone completely off rails nowadays... like all the creators left, the teams changed every game and barely anyone who created those first games are still working on the new installments (which is exactly what has happened). Yes. People seem to have forgotten what most of these classic games have been about.

And now producers are forcing studios to churn in random generic games to conform to whatever is popular and selling now.. instead of, say, simply make new games.

A Silent Hill game shouldn't look or feel like a Resident Evil game and both should neither play to be Alone in the Dark. They all have their own strengths and their own spin of the genre.

How far from their respective original movie template have they gone these last few years?

#Design - Knight's Chase & Doom64 EX custom cover art

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

I decided to make some improvised custom coverart for my boxless CD of Knight's Chase. And a quickly made-on-the-spot logo to go along.


I love DOOM64. Here's a custom cover I made for the perfect PC port "Doom64 Ex", because I'm a materialist that way.

#Design - Tonic Trouble & Outcast custom cover art

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

I received a couple game discs without cases lately. So I decided to make my own cover art, as usual.

Here's the very underrated Michel Ancel classic (that's Rayman's "dad" btw), TONIC TROUBLE! It can kinda be seen as a Rayman 2-prototype in a way. Its gameplay even inspired the later Rayman 3 with all the power-ups/transformations gimmick.


And here's the timeless classic Outcast. To this day, there's no other game besides Shenmue I can see the most people asking for a sequel, even (or specially) after all those years... Sigh.. If only..

#Gaming NEWS! Les Tuniques Bleues


One of my all time favorite bandes dessinées is finally getting its long overdue videogame adaptation.

Les Tuniques Bleues is a long running comic currently being maintained by its original writer Cauvin and the artist Lambil nowadays.


They had a first game adaptation in the 80s as North & South by Infogrames for Commodore, Atari ST, Amstrad and Dos.


It was a management & strategic type of game:


And this very same strategy game will be remade now in...



The new title is expected for PC, ipad and mobiles.
