The first Sonic the Hedgehog film felt like a standard but sometimes poignant fish-out-of-water story with some grandly ambitious set pieces […]

[Reviews] Movie Review: Fall (2022)

Good stunts don't make up for an ugly and oftentimes intentionally poor script.

| Categories: Entertainment, Film, review | No Comments »

“Fall” is a minimalist hour and a half of compelling stunts tethered to a problematic and frequently unlikable script. Most of the characters are unsympathetic, the acting frequently fails during critical moments, and the resolution isn’t satisfying.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

Another chance at history

| Categories: Video Games | No Comments »

Remakes are a very thin line to walk. On the one hand, if one is working with a beloved property, one has a built in audience, with everything that entails. Do it right, respect the source material and satisfy the prior fans of the work, and your creation can equal or even surpass the original. […]

"Teddie, would you STOP?!"

| Categories: Video Games | No Comments »

(Note: images shown are from the PC version using an equivalent resolution from the XBox version because Microsoft makes getting screenshots off their console awful) Ever since Persona 3 cemented Atlus’ teen-oriented spinoff of the Megami Tensei franchise into the general public consciousness, the somewhat inaccessible nature of the series has left fans somewhat disappointed.

Game Review: Divinity — Original Sin II

A rushed storyline deprives the incredible turn-based CRPG combat of some of its meaning

| Categories: Featured Posts, Video Games | No Comments »

You’re either going to love or hate this game. Its turn-based combat is by far the most fun that I’ve ever played in a CRPG, but while I loved many character subplots, I had some issues with the gameplay balancing and especially with the main story pacing. Original Sin II is readily accessible to players […]
