Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution (PC) Review

I’m very fond of the Shantae series. Wayforward’s Genie-themed Metroidvania franchise is a hidden gem that often gets mocked because of its scantily clad heroine or the occasional large-breasted boss enemy. Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution is the latest entry, yet Wayforward has…

Eureka “Maneater” – Review

It’s my favorite Frankie Ward joke! Directed by Michael Robinson, this is Robinson’s only episode of the season and second of the show after “Before I forget.” His one episode next season is one that’s much easier to remember, though, directing Nick…
