Star Trek: Picard “Stardust City Rag” – Review

Yippie, garish costume design by drugs fired out of a shotgun. The first episode not to be written by Chabon, “Stardust City Rag” is written by Kirsten Beyer, and she’s only ever written for Star Trek, though sadly that also means she’s a…

1.0 Release Announced for Instruments of Destruction

It was only at the last Winter sales that I bothered to pick up the Re-Mars-tered edition of Red Faction: Guerrilla. I haven’t played it yet, as I had reviews and Baldur’s Gate 3-based smooching to be getting on with, but my PS3 edition of Red Faction:…

Tuesday, Cities: Skylines II still wastes your time, while Toys of Bob (possibly) works on Spyro 4, and details on the latest Final Fantasy 14 expansion were…

Star Trek: Picard “Absolute Candor” – Review
