Alan Wake 2 - Launch Trailer | PS5 Games
1. Alan Wake 2
Think Resident Evil meets Twin Peaks, but on steroids. Alan Wake 2 ditches the action-heavy vibes of the first game and plunges straight into survival horror madness. You'll play as both Alan Wake and FBI agent Saga Anderson, flipping between their stories as you try to escape the clutches of The Dark Place. If you love RE's mix of horror and storytelling, this one's a no-brainer.

2. Dead Space (Remake)
Classic survival horror? Check. Disgusting mutant abominations? Double check. A protagonist who just can't catch a break? Triple check. The Dead Space remake brings back Isaac Clarke's worst nightmare with jaw-dropping visuals, brutal dismemberment mechanics, and an even creepier atmosphere.
Outlast 2 - Launch Trailer | PS4
3. Outlast 2
If you think Resident Evil's first-person horror is scary, wait till you experience Outlast 2. No weapons. No combat. Just you, a camcorder, and a whole lot of running for your life. You play as a journalist investigating a disturbing cult in the middle of nowhere, and let's just say, things go south real fast. The game thrives on psychological horror, insane chase sequences, and a sense of helplessness that makes every second feel like a life-or-death situation.
Silent Hill 2 Remake - the BEST thing about it
4. Silent Hill 2 (Remake)
Resident Evil is all about zombies and bioweapons, but Silent Hill 2? Pure psychological torment. The remake is a visually stunning, emotionally devastating experience, bringing James Sunderland's twisted journey back to life. The fog-drenched streets, grotesque creatures, and deeply unsettling story make it one of the best horror games ever.
THE EVIL WITHIN 2 Trailer
5. The Evil Within 2
The Evil Within 2 takes everything great about the first game and cranks up the horror and storytelling. Open-world sections add a layer of exploration, while the grotesque enemies and limited resources keep the tension high. Plus, you get to mess around with stealth, crafting, and some truly insane boss fights.
Waiting for Resident Evil 9 doesn't have to be painful—these five games will keep you screaming, sweating, and questioning your life choices in the best way possible.

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame Rishab Jaiswal pairs up with Jasmeet Kaur for a monsoon romantic number
Monsoons and romantic songs have always been intertwined. There's something about the rain that makes love feel a little more magical. Bringing that timeless charm to life, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Rishabh Jaiswal, who is currently winning hearts as Krish in the show, is stealing hearts in a brand-new music video alongside Jasmeet Kaur. Titled Yeh Baarish Jab Hoti Hai, the song is a dreamy ode to love in the rain, and the duo's chemistry makes it all the more magical. Drenched in monsoon vibes, the video captures tender moments between Rishabh and Jasmeet, from playful glances to cozy hugs in the rain. Their effortless chemistry brings the heartfelt lyrics to life, making Yeh Baarish Jab Hoti Hai a visual and emotional treat for anyone who believes in the beauty of love. Talking about the song, Rishabh Jaiswal said, "Whoever knows me knows I've never been the classic lovey-dovey guy. For me, romance is about vibing with someone, being goofy, laughing over silly things, just feeling at ease and being yourself. That's the kind of connection I believe in, and Yeh Baarish Jab Hoti Hai captures exactly that. It's playful, real, and filled with those small, unspoken moments that make love feel special. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover the upgrades that set the New Koda 2 Pro apart Ooni Pizza Ovens Learn More Undo There are scenes where we're just dancing in the rain, sharing smiles, and it didn't feel like acting at all. I'm really happy to be a part of something so simple yet beautiful, and I genuinely hope people feel that warmth when they watch it. If it makes them smile, reminisce, or just hum along, that's all I could ask for. And if they shower it with love, maybe we'll even see it climb the charts." Jasmeet Kaur added, "There's a certain calm that comes with the rain. It brings back memories, makes you pause, and lets you feel everything a little more clearly. Yeh Baarish Jab Hoti Hai carries that quiet emotion. It's about comfort, closeness, and that beautiful in-between space where feelings grow without needing to be explained. I feel people will see a piece of their own story in it." The song is sung soulfully by Kunal Bojewar, with music composed by Gurmeet Singh Deol.

Vedang Raina takes a swipe at rumoured girlfriend Khushi Kapoor: 'You like any boy with a guitar...'
Rumoured couple Vedang Raina and Khushi Kapoor's playful chemistry shines in a promotional video for 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Their fan-fueled debate about 'Team Conrad' versus 'Team Jeremiah' takes a hilarious turn when Vedang teases Khushi about her taste in guitar-playing boys. The video promotes the show's third season, which centers on Belly's complicated love triangle. Vedang Raina and Khushi Kapoor may not have officially confirmed their relationship, but their playful chemistry is hard to miss. In a new promotional video for The Summer I Turned Pretty, the rumoured couple engage in a cheeky fan-fueled debate that ends with Vedang throwing a hilarious dig Khushi's way—leaving fans amused and curious in equal measure. Team Conrad vs Team Jeremiah The video opens with Khushi —an unapologetic Conrad loyalist—visibly shocked as Vedang confidently announces he's 'Team Jellyfish' (aka Jeremiah). Vedang defends his pick, calling Jeremiah the nicer, greener-flag sibling. What follows is a laugh-out-loud exchange: when Khushi praises Conrad as Belly's childhood crush, Vedang quips, 'You like any boy with a guitar.' The zinger leaves Khushi momentarily stunned—before she remembers Vedang plays the guitar too. Her quick switch in expressions and mock outrage at his teasing and 'red flags' makes the promo an entertaining watch. Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty follows Belly as her seemingly perfect summer with Jeremiah is upended by Conrad's return—bringing unresolved feelings back to the surface. As she stands at the cusp of adulthood, Belly must confront her emotions and make a defining choice about love. It's this central love triangle that sparks Khushi and Vedang's playful banter over who truly deserves Belly's heart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Premium 1 BHK at Mahindra Citadel – Coming Soon!

‘Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda would never be ‘nakchade' stars,' says their ‘Saiyaara' co-star Rajesh Kumar known for playing Rosesh from ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai': ‘He would apologise…'
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have turned into stars overnight as their film 'Saiyaara' hit the screens on Friday, July 18. In just five days, Mohit Suri 's directorial has pulled in over ₹132 crore at the Indian box office, with a staggering ₹24 crore and ₹25 crore collected on its first Monday and Tuesday respectively. The film is expected to cross Rs 150 crore on day 6 which is Wednesday. Not only are the newcomers holding their own, but they're also shaking up the box office performance of films headlined by veterans like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. What's equally surprising is the largely positive reception they've received—rare for star kids in the current social media climate, with very minimal trolling or criticism. Actor Rajesh Kumar , who plays Aneet's father in Saiyaara, recently opened up about his experience working with the two fresh faces. Speaking to Galatta, he revealed,'I told both Aneet and Ahaan that make me meet your parents. I just went and thanked them for bringing them up so well and that is what is reflecting on screen. They are not corrupted. Having said that, there is a long way for them to go.' For those not in the know, Rajesh is known for playing the iconic character of Rosesh from 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai'. Recalling the first day on set, Rajesh shared a touching memory about Ahaan's debut shot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo He said, 'Ahaan was so nervous before his first shot. We shot that together. The ones who have watched the film will remember the scene where he quietly hands me a bag. That was his first shot for the film. But, he did it so well in just the third take. After the shot ended, people clapped for him and then he felt relaxed.' Talking about Aneet, Rajesh recounted how her roots helped him with his role He said, 'When I was first introduced to Aneet, Mohit told me she will solve my Punjabi problem in case I want to stick to that language for that movie as we are Batras in it. And then till the time we were shooting together, she would speak to me in hardcore Punjabi. She asked me to call her 'puttu' in place of beta in the movie.' Rajesh also praised the new generation of actors for their level of preparation and professionalism. 'The new generation of actors are extremely groomed. They are pake hue, manjhe hue kalakaar. Barring a few, who might have not prepared as much. But the number of newcomers I have worked with are ready for the market, and Bollywood. I can tell you that these are the faces who are going to be relevant for the coming 25-30 years. Their ability to adapt things is exceptional. And these are the actors who have worked hard for success,' he said. He added that despite the massive success of Saiyaara, both Ahaan and Aneet will remain grounded. He said, 'If you look into Aneet's interviews, you will see that she is yet to believe that her film is working wonders. When people realise things late, success doesn't take over them. These people are so grounded that I don't think Aneet or Ahaan will ever be a 'nakchade' (snooty) stars. They will be sought after actors.' Opening up on the film's success, Rajesh credited the trust and dedication behind the scenes. He said, 'Mohit would wait until he got the shot he had visualised. Every time we took a shot for over four times, Ahaan would walk forward and apologise. He didn't have a 'give up' attitude. This film was all about trust. This film was all about YRF believing in Mohit Suri. And Mohit Suri believing in this new couple and the supporting cast. We never thought it would be a blockbuster.'
