Doctor Who “The Impossible Planet” & “The Satan Pit” Review

Warning: Links contained within this review may contain references to mature themes and feature strong language. This week’s Who review goes from one dark, dank, and depressing hellscape to another. The difference is I find nothing redeemable about these two episodes of…

Ys: Memories of Celceta (PS4) Review

I have been a fan of Nihon Falcom’s work for a while. Both the Ys franchise and the Legend of Heroes franchises are favorites of mine. Falcom has a way of infusing lore and depth into all of their stories, even things…

Hamilton (Film) Review

Gather round, dear miscreants, for a tale of someone who managed to avoid Hamilton for the entire duration of its notably awful stint as Tumblr’s fandom of choice back in 2016. For the uninitiated, as I was and largely remained until writing…

Desperados III (XBO) Review

Hardcore stealth games are kind of like puzzles, but with a lot more swearing. I’m a fan of the stealth genre, give me a Hitman of the 2000s, the recent Dues Ex: Mankind Divided, Dishonored, or Watch_Dogs 2, I’m happy with all of them. In fact,…

Formula 1 2020 (PS4) Review

“And it is lights out, and away we go!” are words that I’m sure brought smiles to many F1 fans this weekend. Yes, for the first time in 2020 and the first time in several months, we’ve had a race in Formula…

The Orville Season 2 – Ep 1 Review

Burnout Paradise Remastered (Switch) Review

Racing games have never been my passion in the same way that Keiran and other members of the PG staff enjoy them. However, I have very fond memories of the Burnout franchise because I am an absolutely terrible driver, and the Burnout…

Doctor Who “The Idiot’s Lantern” Review

Ahh, Mark Gatiss, you and I have this weird thing going. You write horror-based episodes while I complain about them being horror, a bit dull on sci-fi, and lacking a proper bit of Doctor Who-based fun. Don’t worry, I won’t complain too…

Assetto Corsa Competizione (XBO) – Review

I can’t explain it; I enjoy driving in games. Not just these racing games where all you do is drive in circles for hours, swearing that you aren’t going one-millionth of a nano-second faster than the last time. I enjoy driving around…

Spongebob Squarepants: BFBB – Rehydrated (PC) Review

In an age of remakes and remasters, there’s always a lot of hype behind playing titles from our earlier years with a fresh coat of paint. The track record of this style of games has been fairly consistent in its positive reception,…
