SNW “Terrarium” – Review

Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Ahh, spoil sports. In his directorial debut, Andrew Coutts takes the helm, commanding the Strange New Worlds penultimate episode for season three. It isn’t Coutts first foray with Strange New Worlds or even Star Trek, though. He was previously…

Fluxx (Movie) Review

The world of Indie Movies is a relatively new experience for me. With the types of theaters I have in my area, the majority of films that I have been exposed to are big-budget ones that feature household names like Denzel Washington…

Anima: Gate of Memories I and II Remaster (PC) Review

Anima: Gate of Memories and Anima: The Nameless Chronicles are two games that I always wanted to play and purchase, but never really got around to it. To my surprise, the developers over at Anima Project decided to rebuild and remaster the…

SNW “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” – Review

That’s it, I’m becoming racist towards Vulcans; it is the only logical option! Directed by Jordan Canning, this is her second episode of the season, having previously worked on “Charades.” I believe it was the philosopher and inventor Meat Loaf who said,…

Two Point Museum (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Two Point Museum was one of my gaming highlights earlier this year upon its initial release. Since then, I’ve revisited the game in spurts and sessions when I was feeling that itch for the unique and zany world of Two Point games. Now, the…

Football Manager 26 (PC) – Review

The trouble with reinventing the wheel from scratch after you’ve already perfected it is the simple fact that most people like a smooth ride. Football Manager 26 is one of those moments where the wheel is being reinvented, coming two years following…

Absolum (PC) Review

I’ve played Rogue-lites that have mixed with several other genres, whether it be ARPGs, deckbuilders, or even brick breakers. But one genre that has seemingly gone untapped is the beat-em-up. Quarter-munchers from back in the day have seen continued success in the…

SNW “What Is Starfleet?” – Review

Military, we’ve established this before, and I don’t just mean in Lower Decks. Directed by Sharon Lewis, who sadly is best known for reality TV peddled as documentarian stuff: Restaurant Makeover, World’s Worst Mom, Property Brothers, TVO Kids show It’s My Party!…

Once Upon a Katamari (PC) Review

The Katamari games always hit the right mix of fun, chill, and weird for me. I’ve played all of them so far, and each one adds a bit of goofy fun to the mix. Once Upon a Katamari may not reinvent the…

Spindle (PC) Review

Many action games let you play as Death or let you utilize Death’s powers in various ways. However, very few games make you sit down and think about what being the Grim Reaper would actually be like. Spindle is a game that…
