The Orville Season 2 – Ep 7 Review

Warning: This review contains spoilers for the episode of The Orville titled “Deflectors” This week, we’re coming off a very high note for The Orville. Last week’s episode, “A Happy Refrain,” is quite possibly one of my favorite episodes, if not my…

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension (PC) Review

There’s a lot going on, in this game that isn’t a game. This non-game, is developed and published by Draw Me A Pixel, which is definitely not a French indie game company. Seriously, trust me: Nothing happens. Absolutely zero. I stared at…

Fairy Tail (Switch) Review

Games based on Anime properties are at times a mixed bag. However, games such as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and a variety of other licensed Anime properties have proven themselves to be a cut above the rest. When I heard that Gust,…

Doctor Who Series 3 “Smith And Jones” Review

Character introduction 101: First, show them happy and upbeat. Second, watch them get pulled into family drama they don’t care about and provide reasonable solutions to everyone’s problems, Then, have a tall, dark and handsome Scotsman in a brown suit run up…

Hellpoint (XBO) – Review

It is the same with every single Souls–Borne, Sekiro and Souls-like game. You have to delve into your own head like it is Psychonauts and play the minigame of Find and Replace. One minute your Estus is called “Ashen flasks,” your souls are “Blood echoes,”…

Relicta (PC) Review

Puzzle games are easily the most hit-or-miss in gaming. There are greats like Portal, The Talos Principle, and Obstruction, but also polarizing titles like Myst, Superliminal, and Bad Rats. It’s tough to create a game that’s a head-scratcher not thanks to its…

Yakuza Kiwami 2 (XBO) – Review

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the Yakuza series is a magical little bundle of madness and joy in every single way. Partly a spectacle fighter, part crime thriller, part visual novel, part anime, and completely mental. It is mad to…

Carrion (Nintendo Switch) Review

Glory and gore go hand in hand as you take up the mantle of a tentacled biomass in the recently released Carrion. It is a self-described ‘reverse horror’ game, and it’s your job, as the monster, to slime and slap your way…

The Orville Season 2 – Ep 6 Review

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for The Orville episode “A Happy Refrain” Another week and another episode of The Orville. We’re almost at the halfway point for the season and I can’t help but wonder how the series is going to…

Doctor Who “The Runway Bride”

Doctor, Donna. Donna, Doctor. The pairing that just brings nothing but pure and utter seething contempt for the characterization of a single figure. See, if you don’t pay attention to Catherine Tate’s role in Doctor Who, you could probably enjoy it like I…
