Monster Hunter Stories Coming to New Platforms

While the mainline Monster Hunter franchise is a little too complex for me, the Monster Hunter Stories games are really fun. I enjoy the monster-catching and monster-collecting games, so adding that to a turn-based RPG is a blast. Luckily, the original Monster…

Comic Book Corner: Manifest Destiny Part 2

It’s been quite some time since I first covered Manifest Destiny, but I finally got around to reading the final few issues this year after the series concluded in 2022. This review will focus on the second half of the story, covering…

Multiversus to Fully (Re)Launch in May

BORE BLASTERS (PC) Review

Astro Duel 2 is Free on Epic

Monday, Venba is getting free DLC soon. Tuesday, you’ll be able to “Dine Out” in House Flipper (1), EA continues to cancel stuff, apparently, and Xbox had a Partner Preview on Thursday. Wednesday, Hairdresser Simulator was released with amazing facial expressions (see the article header), while WBD addresses the “volatile” console market with…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance” – Review

With more writers and story editor credits for one episode than there are brain cells that put together for “Et in Arcadia Ego,” I’m sure “Remembrance” can start and continue a great sequel series. Sarcasm aside, Picard was one of the shows I was…
