Doctor Who “Kerblam!” – Review

Amazon. Space Amazon but Amazon nonetheless, that’s what Kerblam is, if you somehow didn’t get that from the almost Fallout-like on-the-nose metaphors. The truth is, “Kerblam!” is the type of over-the-top Russell T Davies-style nonsense Doctor Who that I wanted from Jodie’s run in the…

Silent Hill Transmission Announcements

Silent Hill has been a quiet franchise for a while now. It’s been eight years since PT (Playable Teaser) and the announcement of the now-canceled Silent Hills, and ten years since the last mainline game released with Silent Hill: Downpour. Aside from…

This week, Rings of Power continues its downward spiral into self-destruction. Episode 7 is titled “The Eye” and focuses on the aftermath of the eruption of Mount Doom at the end of episode 6. The Numenorians and Southlanders try to get survivors…

Beacon Pines (Switch) Review

Sometimes what you see, isn’t always what you get. Beacon Pines caught me by surprise in this very way. However, sometimes getting something different than what you thought you were getting isn’t a bad thing. Beacon Pines defied my expectations, and in…

EA Closing Online Services for Some of Its Games

EA is starting to close online services for a number of its games. Granted, these aren’t new titles with major player bases. Still, it’s newsworthy because this is an interesting time to be a video game player, journalist, and fan of the…

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is on Steam

It’s been over two years since Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time was originally released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It would then take about six months before we saw it release to many more platforms including current-generation consoles, the…
