Eureka “Alienated” – Review

I knew the government was full of aliens, and (depending on who you are) pirating movies before they are released is OK as long as you’re funded by the DOD. Directed by Marita Grabiak, there is a reason Grabiak is best known…

Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X) Review

The Two Point games speak to me on a level above many other management sims. With equal parts zany characters and a detailed building planning simulator, you’re managing everything from hauntings to a monthly ledger. Two Point Studios’ first two games, Two Point…

Born of Bread (PC) Review

One of my favorite games of all time is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Generally, I love all of the Paper Mario games though, and the ideas in them make for excellent RPGs. Born of Bread is an Indie love letter to…

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage Part 1 (PC) Review

DONTNOD has had quite the decade since Life is Strange first started dropping episodes in 2015. I’m someone who’s been there from the start, playing episodes the day they came out, loving Life is Strange 2 to the point I awarded a rare 10/10,…

Eureka “Before I Forget” – Review

If we’re fair, Eureka has never had fantastic direction, and Michael Robison is no exception. Directing 11 episodes of Eureka, as well as 1 episode of XIII: The Series, Robison’s latest work is mostly Hallmark Channel flicks. The story for this episode…

Potion Permit (PC) Review

I’ve found myself reviewing a fair few games as of late that center around crafting potions and/or proving yourself to people who doubt your abilities. Potion Permit rather expertly combines both of these ideas into its central theme. The end result of…

Captain America: Brave New World Review

When Captain America: Brave New World was announced, I was rather excited. Having Anthony Mackie’s Sam take the mantle of Captain America following the events of Avengers: Endgame and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, seemed like the logical next step. As the…

Tales of Graces f Remastered (Nintendo Switch) Review

The Tales franchise has many standouts in its library. The combat systems, stories, and worlds players experience have made this series a long-running favorite for JRPG fans. In Tales of Graces f Remastered, Bandai Namco brings the PS3 classic into the present-day gaming ecosystem…

Love Hurts (Movie) Review

Valentine’s Day, like many other holidays, always brings about a lot of interesting films. While there aren’t a lot of traditional love stories that popped up, there is one that I found attractive called Love Hurts. Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose…

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (PC) – Review

I’m glad everyone’s up to date on what is and isn’t Roman, so I don’t need to explain what IV, V, and VI are to Americans anymore. Continuing on from where Aspyr left off with the Tomb Raider remasters last year, we…
