Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) Review

Like a Dragon (known also as Yakuza 7) was easily one of my favorite “Yakuza” games. It also happened to be a high point on my list of favorite RPGs of all time. With Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, I had very…

Comic Book Corner: Manifest Destiny Part 2

It’s been quite some time since I first covered Manifest Destiny, but I finally got around to reading the final few issues this year after the series concluded in 2022. This review will focus on the second half of the story, covering…

Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader (PC) Review

I’m a relative newcomer to the Warhammer 40K universe. I enjoy the overall theming and tone of the universe as well as the expansive lore which is ripe for storytelling. I also have some familiarity with the tabletop game, though I’m by…

BORE BLASTERS (PC) Review

I’ll never be able to get enough of the feeling of persistent progression within Rogue-lite games. The rewarding feeling that comes with every play session, whether it be hours of a grind I actually want to do or a brief pick-up-and-play for…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance” – Review

With more writers and story editor credits for one episode than there are brain cells that put together for “Et in Arcadia Ego,” I’m sure “Remembrance” can start and continue a great sequel series. Sarcasm aside, Picard was one of the shows I was…

Warhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood & Teef (PS5) Review

Classified: France ’44 (PC) – Review

Before your Navy Seals and modern US Rangers, the UK was forced to create the special forces as we know them today. While David Stirling and the SAS were off in Africa and eventually taking on Operation Pegasus, and the SBS were…

Mario vs. Donkey Kong Review

First released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance, Mario vs. Donkey Kong took the Super Mario experience and expanded it to focus more on puzzles and less on platforming. Reintroducing Donkey Kong as a villain after many games focusing on Bowser helped spark a…

Lower Decks “Old Friends, New Planets” – Review

An episode that’s a 30-minute version of Wrath of Khan, with heavy connections to TNG, including “Lower Decks?” I’m in! Directed by Bob Suarez, he returns from “Something Borrowed, Something Green” and “A Few Badgeys More” from earlier this season. As I’ve said before,…

Trinity Fusion (PS5) Review

As we’ve covered many Rogue-lites in the past, one such genre fusion I tend to shy away from is Metroidvania. While I find this meshing to be the most reliant upon RNG and brute forcing through some areas ignoring enemies to survive…
