My Name is Pauli Murray (Film) Review

A confidant of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. The inspiration to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. A colleague of another Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is the legacy of Pauli Murray, the non-binary Black lawyer, and author that is the subject…

Doctor Who “The Bells of Saint John” – Review

“Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement’s;” I almost liked this one, said the guy watching “The Bells of Saint John.” Right, so after a lot of piddling about and doing a bit of a dance with the merry old…

Golf Club Wasteland (PC) Review

The sport of Golf is a test of patience, a practice in control, and something that may be better experienced in video game form than in real life. Most gamers have at least had a small exposure to the genre, whether it…

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions (PC) Review

I have quite a few fond memories of playing several boxing games of yesteryear. The titles that spring to mind for me are Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and its sequel on the original PlayStation, as well as the Nintendo GameCube port of…

Hades (XBO) – Review

What can I say? Hades is a game of the year contender in a year packed with The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077, a Resident Evil 3 remaster, and several others. Some aren’t bad, some were just disheartening, and others were just…

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a third-person shooter from Cold Iron Studios that fits well into the mold of a co-op shooter. That is not to say the game is bad, and it does what it sets out to do. It’s just not…

Fire Tonight (Switch) Review

Puzzle games are always something I enjoy sinking my teeth into. I love games that make me think or games that make me feel something. Interestingly enough, Fire Tonight tries to provoke both of those responses, but I’m not really sure it…

Doctor Who “The Snowmen” – Review

The time period is Victorian-ish. There is no companion, and the Doctor is mopey and dejected. Ahh, Clara must be about! Her, the lizard lesbian, Mr. Potato head, and Jenny all show up. Let’s get it out the way right now. I…

King’s Bounty 2 (XBO) – Review

There is a reason something like Grand Theft Auto or Skyrim takes several years and thousands of developers to be sufficiently developed. Announced back in 2019, King’s Bounty 2 is a full-blown sequel to the 1990 game King’s Bounty; A turn-based fantasy game that looks (in retrospect) like a…
