Dr Who “Silence In The Library” & “Forest Of The Dead” – Review

“Hello sweetie!” Oh, I do love hearing that, though it sounds far sweeter from a curly blonde woman surrounded by mystery, action, and intrigue than it does from your dad. Professor River Song is Moffat’s second-best creation behind what haunts River’s mum.…

Monster Sanctuary (Switch) Review

The many elements that make up Monster Sanctuary‘s gameplay are some of my favorite mechanics in any game. I love a good tactical, turn-based strategy game. I’m a fan of monster-collecting. Furthermore, I’m a huge fan of games that look unique and…

Mars Horizon (PC) – Review

I’ve written and re-written this review too many times. Every revision feels like I’m just saying the same thing I said in the preview a while back. Mars Horizon is effectively the equation that results in how to make space games very dry. I’ll…

Haven (PC) Review

Relationships are a crucial part of life, as the vast majority of us have felt love and let it influence us to do things we normally wouldn’t do. Whether it brings us to do things we don’t desire or it gets us…

The Falconeer (XBO) – Review

The Falconeer is about riding a giant bird into battle and firing guns from its back. Why, for weeks before release, did I always think of something else when hearing that title? With every trailer that I’d seen before its release, it…

Cadaver (2020) Review

Warning: This review contains pictures that aren’t suitable for all audiences. Well, heck: I’ve fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole of international horror again. This is an exercise that can take a little more warming up than usual. Oftentimes the traditions of…

Sam & Max Save The World Remastered (Switch) Review

33 years ago, Steve Purcell debuted his Sam & Max comic book franchise. This franchise has spawned all sorts of media since then, including the first episodic release by Telltale Games. Now the first entry in the Sam & Max Telltale series…

“Deep Breaths” (Film) Review

Warning: This article contains a discussion of anxiety, panic attacks, and ableist language. Over the past several months, I’ve developed a real fondness for short films. Maybe it’s that they take a particular kind of skill to be successful with runtimes from…

Doctor Who “The Unicorn and the Wasp” – Review

To put it simply sometimes you don’t like someone’s writing style. Some have a seething hatred for what I’d characterize as how simple, personal, and human I try to make everything I write without the verbose and grand nature that others might…
