Capcom Fighting Collection (Switch) Review

As someone who grew up with video games right at the turn of the century, my experience with the works of Capcom was very rooted in their home console video games. The arcade scene was dying, and the most I ever played…

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) Review

Star Wars is a franchise that gives me a lot of hesitation due to how varied the quality is throughout all the works. After two seasons of The Mandalorian I had good faith in their live-action series, but The Book of Boba…

Doctor Who “Smile” – Review

“Emoji. It speaks emoji,” no really, tell me how this series is great, youthful, and not predominantly written by white men who are now at least over 40 years old. Frank Cottrell-Boyce and I don’t get along for several reasons. Mostly due…

Disgaea 6 Complete (PS5) Review

Nippon Ichi Software has been home to several acclaimed franchises, most of which have been big in Japan and a mere few making it overseas to the West. Luckily, every entry of the Disgaea series has come one way or another for the USA…

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge (PS4) Review

It’s been a strong few years for the revival of the beat-em-up genre. Streets of Rage got a long-awaited fourth entry, the previously-lost Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up got an anticipated re-release, and we’re now getting a sequel to the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat-em-ups from three decades…

Art is a beautiful thing. It can mean different things to different people, and it can allow you to express things that words just aren’t strong enough to express. Despite its short length, Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery shows that art…

The Serpent Rogue (PS5) Review

When I first heard about The Serpent Rogue, I thought by the title that I’d be in for a fantastical roguelike. Imagine my surprise when I did some deep-diving and found a plague doctor up against the elements with nothing but the ability…

Demon Slayer – The Hinokami Chronicles (Switch) Review

Full disclosure, I’ve never watched a single episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. However, I was immediately interested when I saw the trailer for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles. So, when it was released on Nintendo Switch,…

Doctor Who “The Pilot” – Review

The thing is, I can see what was attempted here, and while there are moments I liked, it never clicked. Bill Potts is a fine character though a little heavy on the: “I’m gay, by the way, tell The Guardian about that…

Metal Max Xeno Reborn (PC) Review

Sometimes, a series has been going on longer than you might think. Metal Max is one of those series, dating all the way back to its debut on the Famicom more than 30 years ago. It saw twists and turns in genre and…
