Eureka “Pilot” – Review

The quote at the start of EUReKA (as it is stylized) goes thusly, “A little Knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” For Colin Ferguson’s Sheriff Carter, that’s pretty true. Directed by Peter O’Fallon, it is difficult to say O’Fallon…

Fairy Tail 2 (PlayStation 5) Review

Game adaptations for anime are sometimes hit or miss for me. Depending on the anime, I feel like certain adaptations are just overdone. Dragon Ball Z does well, as does One Piece, but a lot are half-baked attempts to capture the source…

The Stone of Madness (PC) – Review

Set somewhere in the Pyrenees mountains, The Game Kitchen’s latest Roman Catholic guilt simulator is set in a monastery-come-sanatorium in the best year for mental health, 1799. You play as Father Alfredo, a priest who visited the monastery and is now a…

Eternal Strands (PC) Review

I love seeing hard-working employees of video game companies end up continuing to make games after they depart major studios. With how volatile the industry is, it’s a shame to see talent not get to see the light of day. In the…

Lower Decks “The New Next Generation” – Review

I was wrong about Ma’ah’s story wrapping up in “A Farewell to Farms,” and for what it is (so far), “The New Next Generation” was the perfect ending to Lower Decks. Written by Mike McMahan, everyone’s top 2 candidate for a McMahan/McMahon,…

Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PC) Review

2024 was the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Soul Reaver game. In celebration of this release, Aspyr released Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. This also marks the first “new” release in the Legacy of Kain franchise after it…

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Review

Donkey Kong Country Returns was first released for the Nintendo Wii in 2010, three years before it would appear again on the 3DS utilizing the handheld console’s 3D technology. At the time, it was nice to have the game as a handheld…

Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Xbox Series X) Review

One of my favorite game franchises of the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors, gets a lot of flack from the larger gaming community. It’s a button masher; you’re facing mostly hordes of helpless enemies, and you’re simply spamming until you can hit a single…

Sniper Elite: Resistance (PC) – Review

Bonjour, je M’appelle le buisson. Then again after that whole World War I business, I don’t know how many bushes are left in France. Joining the Jedburghs and the SAS in the SOE operation to establish a foothold in Europe ahead of…

Marvel Rivals Needs These Characters

Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals and it has once again rekindled my love for the characters and storylines I grew up reading about. While the main roster for the game is incredibly solid, it’s always fun to speculate…
