Just a few weeks ago, Runic Games released Hob on PS4 and Windows gaming systems. Hob is an action adventure game centered around an impish character with a robot arm, exploring the world he wakes up in, loosely guided by a mysterious robot mentor. The game is as artistic as it is unique to the... Continue Reading →
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Brings the Franchise to an End by Rewriting the Beginning
WARNING: This review will contain spoilers for this film. I will try to keep them minimal, but they will not only pertain to Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, but how it relates to certain plot elements from previous installments in the Resident Evil movie franchise. It has been fifteen years since the first Resident Evil... Continue Reading →
Manchester by the Sea: A gutting glimpse of grief and guilt
Often, there are movies that are hyped up to no extent. Call me a hipster nerd but the more that’s done, I find that I enjoy said movie less. But rarely, so very rarely, a film sneaks in and it deserves every bit of the hype and the praise. Manchester by the Sea is the... Continue Reading →
What If: A Review
A rom-com. Not what I thought I’d be watching on a Sunday night, to be honest. But thankfully it’s one I would have chosen if someone made me choose a rom-com on a Sunday night. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s either going to be clichéd or an attempt at satire.” But let’s be honest,... Continue Reading →
Death and Whimsy: The Fantastical Tale that is What Remains of Edith Finch
Every now and then, a game will be released with some kind of interesting game mechanics that are unique, compelling, and fun, to a point. However, as we have probably all experienced, once the thrill of this new mechanic wears off, we're often left with little more to be desired. A flat story, poor graphics... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the Family. Resident Evil 7 Full Review.

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...

Skyrim
Skyrim was shown during the original Switch announcement trailer, and was confirmed to be headed to the Switch shortly thereafter. During the recent Switch live presentation, Todd Howard, of Bethesda, gave an introduction to Skyrim, and discussed why he is excited to be releasing the game on the new Nintendo platform. What has not yet... Continue Reading →
Sonic Mania
During the Nintendo Treehouse event, those fortunate enough to attend were treated to a sampling of the upcoming Sonic Mania. This game will not be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, but it was still highly advertised at the event. The trailer starts off with a brief history of where Sonic began, and how it evolved, and...

1, 2, Switch
'1, 2, Switch'? More like '1, 2, Skip' (OK, cheesy, I know. But this game). This launch title for the Nintendo Switch misses the mark in a big way. Its purpose is clearly to show off the modular, portable functionality, and it certainly does just that, with a series of minigames ranging in intensity from... Continue Reading →
Initial Reaction: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
I've just finished the first episode of the new Netflix adaptation of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and from the start, it is not what I had expected. What drew me to the series was, above all, the cast. I am by no means an authority on the original book series, or even... Continue Reading →
