Reservation Dogs (TV Series) Review

Out of the TV series I’ve watched this year, I think this is the one that had me experiencing the largest array of emotions. At its core Reservation Dogs is a comedy TV series, but contains many aspects of other genres. The…

Sony Adds Several Soundtracks To Streaming Platforms

Game soundtracks are a hit-and-miss with me. I turn the music down so it doesn’t overpower the mix while I’m in the middle of the big action scenes, it sits in the mix but not too loud it commands the scene for…

Cities: Skylines II (PC) Review

I think it is really difficult to talk about Cities: Skylines II without acknowledging the obvious statement: “I already have the first game, why should I pick up this sequel?” It is a difficult question in itself to answer because of the modding…

Starfield Is Top-Selling Game of September

Party Animals (PC) Review

We have been absolutely spoiled this year in terms of absolutely wonderful games! Sure there have been a few duds, but this year we have had gems such as Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur’s Gate 3, Hi-Fi Rush, Dredge, and plenty of others. Now,…

Molly Medusa (PC) Review

Like most people, a good trailer or concept is often enough to sell me on a game. Molly Medusa: Queen of Spit is no exception, with a unique premise wrapped in mythological trappings. However, what starts out with an interesting concept and…

Skull Island: Rise of Kong Has Hilarious Lazy Cutscene

There’s a special place in a lot of gamers’ hearts for the bargain-bin “so-bad-it’s-good” games. Some bad games are disappointments, but others are so downright buggy, lazy, and/or outrageous that they win over a lot of players. Such is the case with…
