Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Actual gameplay begins at 1:03. Best HRTF effect at 5:11.

From the obscure developer Gamesquad comes the obscure spiritual successor to the equally-obscure game The Devil Inside. This is From Dusk Till Dawn, though don't expect any vampire strip clubs or handicapped men with gun codpieces in this game. In fact, I have no idea what the hell any of this has to do with the movies. From Dusk Till Dawn was a gritty, vulgar action horror series set in Mexico, but this game is some kind of sci-fi prison thing.

It goes without saying that movie-licensed games are terrible and this one is no exception. True, it is a lot better than The Devil Inside, but that's only because the aiming is slightly-less terrible and there's real strafing. FDTD can actually play like a real third-person shooter if you set up the controls properly. Apparently, some versions of this game have 1st-person perspective though I couldn't find a toggle key. Too bad they removed the dismemberment system from the previous game.

...What is it with Gamesquad and their elevators of doom, anyway?
