Pokémon Scarlet (Switch) Review

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mark the beginning of the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise and the first truly open-world RPG for the series. I was looking forward to these new entries after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus in January of…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Temporal Edict” – Review

This one is called, let’s rock this place until the dilithium crystals crack! 1, 2, 3, 4! Joking aside, the cold open with its non-sequitur nature in this episode did make me giggle. Though that might have been from the fact I…

Best Served Cold (Book) – Review

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie is easily one of my favorite fantasy series of all time. It is brutally honest grimdark fiction at its finest and features some of the most incredible characterizations I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Abercrombie…

Two episodes in and we’ve got a Ferengi and an alcoholic Klingon. I love when absolute nerds (that are proficient) are let loose on established IPs. “Envoys,” is yet another example of character work while doing something fun with the franchise of…

Star Ocean: The Divine Force (PS5) Review

I have been a fan of the Star Ocean franchise for a long time. In fact, there was a time in my life when I felt that Tri-Ace RPGs were the pinnacle of RPG craftsmanship, even beyond the Final Fantasy franchise. Hopefully,…

Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered (Switch) Review

SaGa Frontier Remastered was my very first SaGa experience. I had heard a variety of things about the franchise and found myself surprisingly really enjoying it. So, when Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered was announced, I knew I had to give it…

Terror of Hemasaurus (PS4) Review

When I was a kid renting games from my local store, I incurred a late fee for a certain PlayStation 1 title. It was Rampage: World Tour, a game I couldn’t put down and neglected to tell my parents I was renting when…
