The Boy and The Heron (Film) – Review

It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the theater to see a film, but when Hayao Miyazaki released a new film, I knew that this was one I couldn’t skip. The Boy and The Heron is supposedly the master of animation’s…

Cartel Tycoon (PC) Review

You have no idea how difficult it is for me to begin this article without making a reference to Breaking Bad or Scarface, but I’ve managed to resist that temptation so far. I said in my review of The Invisible Hand that…

Story of a Gladiator (PC) Review

As the popular quote goes, “In the Game of Thrones, you win, or you die.” The same can often be said about gladiatorial tournaments held thousands of years ago and, much more recently, about video games which have sought to give players…

Lower Decks “In the Cradle of Vexilon” – Review

Allamaraine, count to four, Allamaraine, then three more, Allamaraine, if you can see, Allamaraine, you’ll come with me. That’s everyone who watched DS9 now in the corner, in the fetal position crying. Let’s talk about staff writer Ben M Waller’s “In the Cradle…

WW2 Rebuilder is a House Flipper style game with a bit of a twist and you might be able to recognize where. I’ve played a few hours of the house that Frozen District built with PlayWay, and while I enjoy the sedate and sometimes…

Lower Decks “I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee” – Review

Moopsy! Yeah, that’s still not funny on its own. For you it has been a week between reviews, for me it’s been only hours since I finished up “Twovix” and I’m moving on to Aaron Burdette’s “I Have No Bones Yet I…

Project Hail Mary (Book) Review

Project Hail Mary is a science fiction novel by Andy Weir. His previous work includes the popular novel, The Martian, which was adapted into a film starring Matt Damon in 2015. Project Hail Mary was published in 2021 and received immensely positive…

SWAT 4: Gold Edition (PC) Review

A series that started way back in 1987, Police Quest is the least funny Police Academy spin-off there is, which is saying something. Joking aside, the series continued for a while with Sierra making adventure games (as they often did) not too dissimilar to everything else…
