Following up Sam Raimi’s horror classic Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness takes the things we loved about the previous films and converts it into an action film. Blending dark fantasy and comedy, Army of Darkness continues the adventures of Ash (played by The Chin aka Bruce Campbell). He travels through time to find himself stuck in the dark ages and to get back to his own time, he’s gotta find the book of the dead. Sh*t hits the fan and causes an all out war with the undead. Memorable lines such as “This is my boomstick!” have immortalized Army of Darkness to film fans everywhere.

Although the Evil Dead franchise has received several video games over the years, Army of Darkness has only received one direct video game. Army of Darkness Defense, an arcade style defense game on iOS and Android.

DayZ could be coming to PS4

According to DayZ creator Dean “Rocket” Hall, Sony has met with him and discussed his amazingly popular Arma II mod, DayZ. DayZ, which is being converted into a stand alone game, allows for open world, free roaming zombie survival. The game is primarily played online on vast maps with zombies roaming the land. Hall is still working on the stand alone PC version of DayZ and explains that console ports would be dependent on it’s success, “Certainly I think if we don’t, for want of a better word ‘fuck up,’ the PC release then I would say a console port is almost certain. I know a lot of people get really hot and bothered about it. Like, I’m not a console gamer, I’m a PC gamer, but I don’t think it necessarily has to hurt things.”

He continued that the PS4 looks to be the best platform, “It appears to be the kind of game that Sony are interested in, I think we just have to wait and see. We’ve talked and met with Sony, and they’re very – you know, they’re obviously interested.”

Currently, the PC version of DayZ is undergoing optimizations and fixes from it’s currently existing mod version. These including anti-hacking measures and improving server performance.

You hear people toss around the phrase “cult classic” often, but few films have earned this title like The Evil Dead. Directed by Sam Raimi… Starring a young and unknown Bruce Cambpell (as Ash), The Evil Dead tells the story of a group of friends who go out on vacation to a cabin. After playing some audio tapes which recite phrases from the book of the dead left by the previous tenant (an archaeologist), shit really hits the fan. Evil spirits posess all of Ash’s friends and he pretty much needs to fend for himself. The Evil Dead gets weird (tentacles) but awesome.

Beyond film, The Evil Dead has also lived on through video games. Unfortunately, they’re not great video games, but they’re also not terrible… The Evil Dead video games have been released for Commodore 64, Playstation, Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox, along with a few mobile games for iOS and Android.
