The Terminator 4KUHD Review
Back when I was just turning 10 years old, I was having nightmares about being chased by an unstoppable robot that was trying to ensure the end of the world was going to happen with a gigantic bang. Man, the Reagan years were something. I’m sure those dreams will be making a comeback in the next four years. Anyway! Warner Home Video has honored that robot-chasing-humans idea by releasing The Termi...[Read More]
North by Northwest 4KUHD Review
Hitchcock was the master of suspense, thriller, and horror back in the day. He used common themes to create cinematic masterpieces that redefined how movies were made. He also inserted himself in every single one of his films, which was a cool signature.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Review (PS5)

And there is go...[Read More]
Verne: The Shape of Fantasy Review (PC)
Something is interesting about a point-and-click adventure that has a strong LucasArts 90s vibe to it. There’s nothing quite like that era of gaming, where good stories and puzzles led over graphical prowess. That gameplay formula generally meant a good time. See games like The Dig and The Secret of Monkey Island for details. I mention all the above because developer Gametopia has thrown its old-s...[Read More]
Berzerk: Recharged Review (PS5)
Publisher Atari and developer SneakyBox are bringing back a classic 80s Atari arcade gaming experience that quite frankly scared the ever-loving shit out of me as a kid, if not caused outright anxiety at the time. The game? Berserk. The point of the game is to infiltrate a dangerous robotic military compound and eliminate a bunch of enemies while avoiding the vicious Evil Otto, an indestructible k...[Read More]
