Stay Dead is not your normal type of game, it doesn’t feature Pre-rendered CGI footage but uses real life video footage in an interactive movie. We caught up with one of the leading man at Brucefilms who was nice enough to answer some questions and offer you guys an awesome deal! Check out the interview and a couple of surprises at the bottom of the interview.

"The boxiest of all the bundles is back and I have dragged myself out of bundle-based retirement to cover it. Not like I used to mind you, with an ill-informed, rushed and relatively lazy new post, but with insightful (hopefully) and worthwhile (probably a bit of a stretch) reviews of the games. Think of it as something akin to my coverage of the very first Bundle in a Box – where I reviewed the debuting (and incredible) The Sea Will Claim Everything - but with a slightly less penetrative, far more promiscuous gaze."
Gamesta.com has a few more bundles to go to. The latest Bundle in a Box launched its Eclectic Delights, which offer 5 core titles for just $0.99 or 9 games for those that beat an average standing at less than 3 bucks at the time of writing.
While it might have died down in recent years, the ‘interactive movie’ genre was a staple in arcades and on home consoles throughout the ’80s and ’90s. From Dragon’s Lair to Fahrenheit, interactive movies have received their fair share of love and hate throughout the years, and some titles, specifically Night Trap, paved the way for the creation of the ESRB.
While titles such as Heavy Rain have eschewed the use of live-action footage in favor of computer generated graphics, BRUCEFilm’s Stay Dead wholeheartedly embraces the concept of full-motion video, aiming to serve up an interactive fighter that is as much fun to watch as it is to play. Unfortunately, while the game’s concept has some solid footing to work on, the execution falls flat on its face, with a title that’s too boring, simple, and short.
