Channel Zero Season 3 Episode 5 Review: “The Red Door”

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Channel Zero. The penultimate episode of “Butcher’s Block” sees Alice and Zoe switch narrative positions. Alice is now thoroughly under the Peach family’s sway, while Zoe struggles to pull her back to herself as the sister…

Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King (PC) Review

As someone that was very hesitant to get into the Souls kinds of games until a year or two ago, I’m glad I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone and discovered the lore-heavy, brutal titles that I previously never would have given the time…

Doctor Who “The Vampires of Venice” – Review

“Vampires,” slightly crap looking CGI monsters, tall and pretty 20-something White women with pointy teeth and no reflection, along with a time-traveling old man popping out of a cake like a stripper? I am only excited about one of those, and it’s…

Maquette (PS4) Review

It isn’t often that a narrative-focused game leaves me at a loss for words. Maquette is the first time in a while where I was surprised by a game for a few different reasons. With the lead characters being voiced by Bryce…

Channel Zero Season 3 Episode 4 Review: “Alice in Slaughterland”

Monster Energy Supercross 4 (PC) Review

Today, I’m reviewing Monster Energy Supercross 4 or, as the logo on Steam shows, “Monster Energy AMA Supercross 4 FIM World Championship The Official Videogame”. An alarming number of brands and subtitles aside, I was eager to see what the series would play…

Loop Hero (PC) – Review

Hear me out here, I am not that much of a fan when it comes to the retro pixel graphics that every 2D indie game uses. I’m also not much of a fan when it comes to Medieval settings, magic, fantasy or…

Dr Who “The Time of Angels” & “Flesh and Stone” – Review

Matt Smith is a beautiful man and a great actor, I will forever love him for those first few minutes. Following Amy’s question “What does it say?” to some scribbled high Gallifreyan scripture on a very literal black box, he simply says…

Starlink: Battle for Atlas (PC) Review

As a previous GameStop employee in 2019, I can’t begin to tell you how many Skylanders were brought into my store that I couldn’t accept for trade-in. The toys-to-life genre of games, including titles like Disney Universe and Lego Dimensions which secured…
