Doctor Who: Flux “The Halloween Apocalypse” – Review

Warning: The following review will contain spoilers for Doctor Who: Flux chapter 1, “The Halloween Apocalypse.” Reader’s discretion is advised. Well, this first episode was an episode of television, not a very good one, but one nonetheless. As you do when you…

Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality (XBO) – Review

The winner for the most obvious opening line in a review in 2021, goes to: “You might have heard this about me, but I like Doctor Who.” So when I say that a Doctor Who game, a 3D fully realized adventure specifically,…

Demon Turf (PS4) Review

I’ve been following the development of Demon Turf for well over a year now. I love 3D platformers, especially ones with a unique style and personality. Demon Turf is developer Fabraz’s attempt at the genre popularized by games like Donkey Kong 64…

Over the course of my decade-long tenure as a strict PC-only gamer, I’ve become increasingly familiar with a genre of titles that I can only think to describe as “games for nerds.” That’s not a condemnation of any title in that category…

Antlers (Film) Review

As much a haunting rural folk tale as it is a terrifying creature feature, Antlers is the newest and most frightening film by Scott Cooper. His atmospheric direction, production design, and craft, are bolstered by a star-making turn from newcomer Jeremy Thomas and two…

Doctor Who “The Day of the Doctor” – Review

2.47-billion. There is a reason that out of all the actors to play the character and all the variations on the single person calling themselves The Doctor, I return to Christopher Eccleston’s 9th. He’s the one where the story began and how…

Shadow of the Colossus (PS3) – Review

Something all games seem to be focused on is throwing set-pieces at you like you were an only child to what in America is called a “pageant mom” and in the rest of the world is sectioned under the mental health act.…
