Like a Dragon Gaiden (PS5) Review

When Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name was announced, I was a little bit confused. After the release of Like a Dragon, it seemed like a weird choice to create an interquel between Yakuza 6 and Like a…

The Smurfs 2: Prisoner of the Green Stone (Switch) Review

I am a huge fan of The Smurfs. Throughout most of my childhood, I enjoyed The Smurfs cartoons, and I am glad that Microids has taken to reviving the IP in game form over the past few years. The Smurfs 2: Prisoner…

The Orville Season 3 – Episode 5 Review

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for episode 5 of The Orville’s third season, titled “A Tale of Two Topas” as well as references to previous episodes. We’re at the halfway point of The Orville: New Horizons and I have been enjoying…

It’s Basic (Film) Review

As I discussed in my previous film review, documentaries are hard for me to evaluate. This one in particular was even more difficult due to its relatively short length. It’s Basic is only about an hour and ten minutes but certainly makes…

Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (Switch) Review

After reviewing The London Case a little while ago, I was very curious to see what Murder on the Orient Express had to offer. Upon investigating this new Agatha Christie release, I discovered that it wasn’t developed by Blazing Griffin. Instead, Microids…
