Rosemary’s Baby 4K Review
To start this review, I must confess something. I have never seen Rosemary’s Baby. It was one of those Halloween gems that I had always heard was a must-see, but I just didn’t take it too seriously to make time for it during the creepy season. I mean, how dramatic could it be that a woman carries the love child of the devil? How in the world do you put that story together and not make it goofy? Th...[Read More]
Jackbox Party Pack 10 Review (PC)
Over the last few years, the Jackbox series has taken a downturn in complete package-ness and entertainment. The series has taken a hit on quality and creativity, which stinks considering how wonderful Jackbox Party Pack 7 is, thanks in part to Quiplash 3, Champ’d Up, and the team-oriented The Devils and the Details. With the seventh edition of the game, it looked like creativity in the series had...[Read More]
Haunted House Review (PS5)
The graphical limitation of the VCS console back in the 80s was extraordinary, even for the 80s. There were more sprites than specifics, and typically the player had to use their imagination more than not to enjoy the experience. For example, in the game Haunted House, the gameplay featured two empty columns that the player traversed as two large eyes. The game allowed players to go into rooms and...[Read More]
The Mist Review
You can always tell when someone has translated Stephen King’s material correctly because of one simple element – the dialogue. Typically, in a Hollywood-style film, when someone has taken liberty with Stephen King’s ideas, the dialogue is short, and pointed, and there are more visuals than dialogue. Most people are under the belief that showing is better than telling. While The Shining is an abso...[Read More]
Twisted Tower Preview (PC)
When I saw BioShock in action way back in the day, the first time one of the creatures tried to break into the elevator and set the tone of terror for what I was going to experience in an underwater broken world of warped creatures, I knew it was going to be something special. The same with Resident Evil 4, where I saw a sneak peek at CES before the GameCube launch and saw how Capcom brought a new...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review (PS5)
Years ago, Ubisoft changed the formula of their hit Assassin’s Creed series which was losing steam when a very broken Assassin’s Creed Unity arrived. Riddled with bugs, boring gameplay, and some mysterious and unjustified lack of a female protagonist, the game was a tough sell to gamers. Ubisoft responded by publishing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which brought more intriguing characters, a game th...[Read More]
The Fabulous Fear Machine Review (PC)
This is the month when everyone should be pining for some fear, scares, and creeps in their entertainment. Maybe it’s your favorite Halloween film, such is the case that mine is The Thing, where it still gives me jump scares, even when I know what’s coming. Maybe it’s going on a ghost tour in your local area, where you can go hunt some real scares from shadow people and the undead. Or maybe, just ...[Read More]
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Review (PS5)
I’m a huge fan of the Dragon Quest series, though I have never dabbled in anything DQ outside of the gaming arena. I think most of the DQ games have consistently delivered a healthy amount of narrative while balancing themselves on good RPG-driven gameplay. In short, I have never walked away from a DQ experience feeling short-changed by it, and I was hoping to keep it that way with Dragon Quest: T...[Read More]
Mineko’s Night Market Review (PC)
For years now, I have discussed my dissatisfaction with games driven by crafting. I have held the opinion that most of the time crafting is just filler for a lack of story, or maybe a severe lack of ideas. It never seems fruitful, nor is it generally fun to craft items in a game. I have held this belief for over a decade. And now? Well, shoot, now I have found something that has changed my take on...[Read More]
Dune: Spice Wars Review (PC)
Real-time strategy games are delivered in a variety of flavors. They can range from uncomplicated masterpieces like the Command & Conquer series, though not all gems, that are easy to pick up and go, or they can be as in-depth as an Age of Empires that requires a bit more panache and patience. Regardless of complication or difficulty, there is something for everyone when it comes to playing an...[Read More]
