As a reviewer, occasionally you will run across a piece of media you might have assumed the worst about, but then it turned out quite the opposite. This happened to me with the movie Paddington 2, a film that Warner Bros. sent us for review years ago and which I put off until the day before release to review. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it usually is a profound and satisfying experie...[Read More]

Sometimes a gaming experience doesn’t have to be long to be good. A game like Sayonara Wild Hearts is merely an hour and some change but it is a definable and repeatable experience. That Annapurna classic proves that it’s better to feel and connect with a game than it is to count the minutes you have spent with it. And maybe that is an underlying message that has a deeper meaning that we all need....[Read More]

For example, I knew that Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion would consume me after the first hour of gameplay, even though I hadn’t played any Elder Scrolls games prior, thus having no expectations. Seeing the complexity of the gameplay, the background skills t...[Read More]

FromSoftware crafts the controls, the visuals, and everything in between well so that the player has th...[Read More]

Way back in the early part of 2024, I played through The Tribe Must Survive while it was in early access. What I found was an addictive game that pressed me with its strategy to keep a group of people alive, develop their world while catering to their needs, and at the same time force me to get better through the emotional fragility of its characters. It was one helluva EA playthrough. Now, it’s o...[Read More]
