With Ebb Software’s Scorn now available on PC and Xbox — just in time for the Halloween season upon us — it’s a perfect time to chat about the game’s art style.
One of the highlights of the title is that blend of bio-mechanical and dystopian surrealism. The same blend that legendary artists Hr Giger or Zdzisław Beksiński specialized in with their respective art.
Giger and Beksiński’s influence runs deep, particularly in gaming. With the arrival of Scorn, it’s a great reminder of how their art transcends and enhances the feel of gaming, even when some of these titles are decades old.
Let’s dial back the clock before we plug into Scorn…

Okay, this is a no-brainer. We’ve talked about Cyberdreams’ psychological horror game (and its sequel) in various lists over the years. But really, you can’t help but keep coming back to it.

Long-time Pulse Films executive Lucas Ochoa has left the “Gangs of London” producer to join “Normal People” outfit Element Pictures as an executive producer. Also joining the production company is Silverprint Pictures’ Michael Dawson (right).
Ochoa’s hire is a major coup for Element Pictures, and comes as a surprise given his years spent building Pulse Films alongside co-founder and creative partner Thomas Benski. Ochoa was most recently chief creative officer of Pulse’s scripted division, executive producing Sky Atlantic and AMC’s “Gangs of London.” He joined the company in 2008, just three years after it was founded by Benski and Marisa Clifford.
Ochoa and Dawson will serve as executive producers working in television drama, and are to start in early October, based out of London.

Netflix has canceled “V-Wars” and “October Faction” after airing only one season each.
“V-Wars” starred Ian Somerhalder as an infectious disease specialist investigating the origins of a new zombie-creating virus. The story is based on the books by Jonathan Maberry.
“October Faction” starred Tamara Taylor and J.C. MacKenzie as a pair of monster hunters. The story is based on the comics by Steve Niles and Damien Worm.

A person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap that Netflix and Somerhalder are in conversations about potential future projects to pursue.
However, it’s not too late to binge either of these Netflix shows in the coming weeks of isolation. “Lost” fans will remember that both appeared in the first season of the ABC drama series, with Somerhalder playing Boone Carlyle, brother to Shannon Rutherford, and Taylor playing Susan Lloyd,...

When ABC’s “Lost” premiered on Sept. 22, 2004, it was a risky investment and the most expensive television pilot ever made. For one, it shot on location in Hawaii complete with extremely realistic plane wreckage and explosions. But it soon turned into a cultural milestone that would forever change the face of television.
“Lost” was a “water cooler” show the likes of which we may never see again, from a time when audiences still gathered with friends and family on their sofas once a week in front of television sets to watch. Afterwards, they rushed to their desktop computers to post fan theories on the internet’s first chat rooms. It was a time before binge-watching, when “Previously on Lost” provided an essential recap of the most recent flashbacks, flashforwards and flash-sideways; mad-dashes through the jungle; encounters with the smoke monster; Dharma Initiative experiments; polar bears; questions like “What lies in the shadow of the statue?...
