Ugly Betty “A Tree Grows in Guadalajara” – Review

Sometimes it is loss that makes you realize how much you love. Directed by “Brothers” director Lev L Spiro, “A Tree Grows in Guadalajara” is the final episode in which he’s relevant. While the writing comes from long-term producers Tracy Poust and…

Pragmata (Xbox Series X) Review

Pragmata is the newest game from Capcom, gaming’s most consistent studio of the 2020s. When it comes to games today, there are a lot of safe choices being made out of fear that shareholders might start to doubt the creatives behind new…

Caromble! (PC) Review

Every once in a while, a narrative game will actually stoke some emotion out of me, whether it be from relatability, evocative moments, or pure artistry. It’s even rarer to encounter a title that manages to capture all three of these –…

Minos (PC) Review

To intentionally misquote the Soldier from Team Fortress 2: “You are like the Cyclops of Greek myth, except you are the Minotaur of Greek myth, and almost everyone hates you!” What we’ve got here is Minos, developed by Artificer and published by…
