Tick, Tick…BOOM! (Film) Review

Movie musicals made a comeback this year, and Tick, Tick…BOOM! unsurprisingly wipes the floor with all of them. The story genius of Jonathan Larson and the theatrical flair of Lin-Manuel Miranda (in his directorial debut no less) sounds like a mixture too…

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (PS4) Review

Admittedly, I find that games based around superheroes can sometimes be a mixed bag. For every incredible game like X-Men Legends, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, or Injustice, there is at least one or two Superman 64’s to tip the scales negatively. However, Marvel…

I Am Fish (PC) – Review

I Am Fish, the sequel to the undeniably unique I Am Bread, was released almost two months ago. It’s a title I was looking forward to, especially given that it was provided on Xbox Game Pass. Although other titles kept me from…

Doctor Who: Flux “War of the Sontarans” – Review

Airborne Kingdom (Switch) Review

I’m always looking for unique takes on the City-Builder genre. Games that take the genre in a new direction usually are right up my alley. Airborne Kingdom takes what you know and love about City-Builders and brings it to the sky. Just…

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4) – Review

Does a game have white people with pointy ears and purple fizzy stuff coming from a woman’s hands or from the edge of a twig she found? Yeah, I don’t like it. The word fantasy to me is ruined by the entertainment…

Dexter: New Blood – “Cold Snap” Review

Tonight’s the night. It has been a long eight years since we last heard Dexter Morgan say those three fabled words. While the sunny heat of Miami has been replaced with the frozen wasteland of New York, there’s no mistaking the darkly…

The Beta Test (Film) Review

Jim Cummings is one of the most promising and singular talents of a new generation of filmmakers, delivering a new and scathing satire in The Beta Test. As a breathtakingly original takedown of Hollywood culture, toxic masculinity, and the falseness of the Internet…
