SNW “Charades” – Review

Here we go with a Spock episode about his relationships. Specifically with the one we know will die and the one with the blue eyes and platinum-blonde hair. This episode is written by Henry Alonso Myers as well as Lower Decks story editor…

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles (Switch) Review

In 2000, the original Rhapsody game was translated into English and offered to Western audiences. Many might have thought that there was only one game in the series, but in reality, two other titles simply did not receive translations. In a new package…

First Dead Island 2 Expansion Coming in November

Since its April release, Dead Island 2 has gotten a relatively decent reception. Since then, there have been a variety of updates to fix bugs and polish the performance. Now, developer Dambuster Studios and publisher PLAION have revealed the first expansion to…
