Chenso Club (PS4) – Review

As I sit obsessed with Vampire Survivors and Rogue Legacy 2, about to start up Hades, I thought, why not add another Rogue-like to my plate? I can’t get enough of this style of game, as the replay value is through the roof and the creativity…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 3 – Review

There is a lot that happens in LOTR: The Rings of Power episode 3. Unfortunately, it still fails at transcending past the realm of mediocrity. This episode is titled “Adar,” and focuses on Arondir as he is made an unwilling slave to…

The Orville: Sympathy for the Devil (Book) – Review

The time travel/historical episodes of Star Trek are very rarely the best of the franchise, and Seth Macfarlane’s Sci-Fi show of the same vein is no exception. The story of Sympathy for the Devil is an interesting one, as season 3 of The Orville was scheduled…

Midnight Fight Express (PC) – Review

When I first saw the key art for Midnight Fight Express, I thought that it looked pretty interesting. Once I watched the trailer, however, it was pretty clear that it is not your run-of-the-mill beat ’em-ups but rather something fantastic and a…

Splatoon 3 (Switch) – Review

Released right at the end of summer, Splatoon 3 feels like the best parts of the season. It’s fast-paced, it’s exciting in every single match, and there are tons to do. While the series doesn’t take some giant leap in scope or…

Comic Book Corner – Y: The Last Man (Book One)

Welcome back to the comic book corner. As promised, this week I’ll be discussing a title not published under Image comics. Y: The Last Man was created and written by Brian K. Vaughan with art by Pia Guerra and Jose Marzan Jr.…

Doctor Who “The Ghost Monument” – Review

Two episodes in, and we’re into Chibnall’s crap writing. “The Ghost Monument” is one of those episodes that tried to do the scale of Frank Herbert or James S.A. Corey with the writing ability of a dog. There certainly was a desire…

You Suck At Parking (Xbox One) – Review

Let’s make some rules: When everyone else is parking straight and there are clear indications of those spots, you have no legal right to take up two spaces. Let’s also say that if you have two garages and two cars, you either…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 2 – Review

LOTR: The Rings of Power continues to expand the mythos of Tolkien’s high fantasy world for the small screen. Episode two is titled “Adrift,” and again follows Galadriel as she makes her way back to Middle Earth across the Sundering Seas. Elrond…

Sunday Gold (PC) – Review

Dystopian trends are in right now, and while most are depressing and purposefully ugly (in a pretty neon way), Sunday Gold bucks that trend with a grimy art style that is enchanting. Set in the year 2070, probably 40 years after Charles…
