Fashion Police Squad (Switch) Review

From the moment I saw Fashion Police Squad’s first trailer, I knew I’d stumbled on something special. For the sake of full disclosure, I’m not normally a fan of traditional FPS titles. I’ve played around with the Halo franchise, I love the…

The Outsider (Book) Review

The Outsider is a 2018 novel written by renowned author Stephen King. The novel was adapted into a television show on HBO in 2020. King is an author that I have a complicated relationship with. As of completing this book, I’ve read…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Strange Energies” – Review

Off the bat, it is strange to jump straight into season 2 of Lower Decks when it really benefits to have that long wait after “No Small Parts“. The season ended with the death of Shaxs, Rutherford’s memories are gone, and a new…

Godlike Burger (Switch) Review

I’m not the best at time-management games, but I know a good one when I see it. I spent a lot of time watching my mom play Diner Dash as a kid, and there were plenty of games that came after that…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “No Small Parts” – Review

Since my wifi was out this weekend and I decided to watch the first episode of Strange New Worlds again, I had one question. Why is it that the only good Star Trek comes from bolder and newer ideas? We haven’t had a wholly original…

Fire Emblem: Engage (Switch) Second Opinion Review

Fire Emblem: Engage is the latest entry in the long-running turn-based tactical series published by Nintendo. Engage has been the first of my most anticipated releases of the year, so I was greatly looking forward to finally diving into this franchise once…
