Eureka “H.O.U.S.E. Rules” – Review

Doctor Who will start two weeks from now. I’m a bit busy dealing with AI house problems right now. Directed by Jeff Woolnough and written by Harry Victor, the two last worked on “Dr. Nobel” earlier in the season, and this is…

Switch 2 Price Concerns Highlight a Changing Industry

The Switch 2 debuted to a roller coaster of feedback, hot takes, and mixed emotions. The presentation was generally received well if you judge the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in a vacuum. Once that press release dropped, indicating the price tag of the…

Humankind (PC) Review

Leading up to its release in August of 2021, Humankind was hyped up to be the downfall of the Sid Meier’s Civilization franchise. As a fairly devoted fan of the Civ series, I dare say I’m decently qualified to judge how well…

Mascot Horror was all the rage in the mid-2010s, so I didn’t personally think the genre had much steam left in it as we hit 2025. Be that as it may, Finding Frankie launched on Steam in October of 2024 and received quite…

CarGo! (Xbox Series X) Review

The frantic, pedal-to-the-metal chaos of co-op games like Overcooked or Moving Out makes video games feel exciting and overwhelming in a good way. We all know that collaborating with friends to accomplish a task when the clock is ticking can bring out the best…

Eureka “Purple Haze” – Review

I know it’s meant to be a reference to Prince or something, but can we just rename it Pink and Lacy? The third of Johanna Stokes’ five writing credits, she’s listed as working on the teleplay for this one, while show creators…
