Doctor Who “The Husbands of River Song” – Review

Peter Capaldi, Alex Kingston, and Greg Davies? Is it Christmas? It was for “The Husbands of River Song” when I originally watched it. Of Peter’s few Christmas specials, it is the one that is near faultless. I’d give it a perfect 10…

Game-To-Film Adaptations, Do We Need Them?

The tipping point for me was last Friday, seeing the news of Gran Turismo getting a prospective movie. The 67th (I made that number up) adaptation of a game that unequivocally does not need one. Over the past year (maybe even two) we’ve seen the…

Prime Gaming – June 2022

With blind hatred for the world and the pain of simply being here, I and Prime Gaming return for another month. I’ll get to running down the games available with Prime in a moment. However, players of GTA Online, Rainbow Six Siege, World of Tanks,…

BioShock: The Collection Is Free On Epic This Week

Monday, nothing happened. Tuesday, Tchia tried to hit a major chord from Moana as Awaceb showcased ocean exploration. Wednesday, Dragon’s Dogma crawled out of its cave after 10-years, and Mathew recounted the Dead By Daylight 6th anniversary celebrations.

Doctor Who “Hell Bent” – Review

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS4) – Review

It has been a while, though I think it is obvious why. The last time I spoke about Nathan Drake, I made it quite clear I would rather feed that man through a wood chipper than put up with him for a moment…

Quijote: Quest for Glory (PC) – Preview

The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha or Quijote, depending on your translation into English, is the story of an old fool living out his hallucinations after reading too many tales of chivalry. Of course, that’s a substantial contraction of the…

Just Cause 4 (XBO) – Review

The Just Cause series is a strange beast within the world of video games. As I’ll soon describe for a video, it is often a sandbox crammed into being a game first instead of a game built around that sandbox. I think that…

Borderlands 3 Is Free On Epic

Monday, Kao hopped along to reveal more character details. Tuesday, Toy Soldiers continued to go to war after being patched up at a discount, and Valve’s TF2 was recently plagued by bots. Wednesday, Game Pass revealed more in wave 2 for May, with Jurassic World Evolution 2 leading the way. Thursday, Hellpoint got a next-gen…
