I Review What I Want
As per usual, and considering the movie has not yet released, this will be a relatively spoiler free review, and will only reveal details of the story that are already primarily available in trailers. This past weekend, I was so fortunate as to receive free passes for an early screening for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,... Continue Reading →
When I first heard about A Way Out, advertised as a fully cooperative, story driven game, I was apprehensive, to say the least. Looking into it, it looked like it was going to turn out to be a canned story on rails, with little to no compelling gameplay elements. I am very pleased to admit,... Continue Reading →
In 2014, Over the Moon Games released The Fall; the first part in a trilogy of sci-fi, Metroidvania style puzzle games, which was easily one of the best indie games that year had to offer. This year, after an eternity of anticipation, they have finally graced modern consoles with the second installment, The Fall Part... Continue Reading →
This past Friday, February 2nd, Netflix released their latest sci-fi series, Altered Carbon.

While some would argue that "this isn't Resident Evil" for various reasons, I feel like the game recaptured the suspense and atmosphere of the original games, as well as the sense of...

The opening lines of Kubo and the Two Strings set the tone for this adventure film that entices the audience as much with the story as it does with the art style. While I've personally always considered stop motion animation to be a lot of work for little reward, Kubo certainly proves that there is... Continue Reading →
You'll likely be dead by the end. They say it A LOT. If I were to have one major complaint about the movie, it would be the ceaseless attempts at reminding the audience what comes next, or, I suppose, where this movie lies in the chronology of the series. A minor detail, yes, but subtlety... Continue Reading →
