Doctor Who “A Town Called Mercy” – Review

Oh, it was like Thatcher’s death around me on Thursday afternoon. I was singing about a witch being dead, dancing, and generally being overly happy about the whole state of affairs. For those of you who don’t know, Chibnall has been given…

Dreamscaper (Switch) Review

While playing video games most of my life and reviewing them for over a decade, I have learned something important. Sometimes, playing a really great game in a genre can make objectively “good” games in that genre-less enjoyable, because the bar has…

World’s End Club (Switch) Review

Full disclosure here: I know very little about the Zero Escape series beyond the fact that they are Narrative games with branching paths. I’ve had friends tell me for years that I should play them, but they’ve just somewhat made their way…

Curved Space (PC) Review

I’ve had my fair share of twin-stick shooters ever since I was plugging away at Xbox Live Arcade indie titles. I also had a lot of fun with Geometry Wars, even when it was just a minigame in Project Gotham Racing. So when…

Doctor Who “Dinosaurs On A Spaceship” – Review

Unbound: Worlds Apart (Switch) Review

Puzzle Platformers are always a bit of a mixed bag. Some of them lean a little too heavily into precision platforming, while others lean too far into obtuse puzzles. It is rare for a Puzzle-Platformer to achieve an engaging balance of both,…

Dying Light (PS4) – Review

Dying Light is a 2015 game that would admirably be called a “cult classic.” Which is to say it is a modern big-budget horror game that sold well but not the millions upon millions that GTA V did for those three years of its release.…

Cris Tales (Switch) Review

I have been following Cris Tales since its announcement at E3 2019. Developed by Colombian studio Dreams Uncorporated, Cris Tales was (and still is) immediately eye-catching. Two years later, having spent quite a lot of time with Cris Tales, I can say…

Space Jam: A New Legacy Review

It’s fairly normal in this day and age for movies, television shows, and even video games to get a reboot, remake, seriously-delayed new iteration, and what have you to capitalize on a nostalgic property that hasn’t been acted upon in years or…

Doctor Who “Asylum of the Daleks” – Review

Ya’ know, I think this Jenna-Louise Coleman lass might just be a bit evil somewhere deep down. Then again, I guess that’s why Moffat introduced her to the Doctor Who audience now, as we went into the belly of the metaphorical evil beast.…
