Storyteller Review
I gripe about the lack of three-act narratives and brag about how easy stories can be if you just spend enough time developing them. A good chunk of filmmakers don’t these days, which generally equals out to a crappy movie (looking at you Venom). Anyway, if you have read any of my movie reviews, you know how passionate I am about storytelling in general. The story is the essence of an entire film...[Read More]
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo Review
For the folks out there, that enjoy the logical torture of a Phoenix Wright game, you’re in for a treat with Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. This game is mostly text-based with a heavy slice of the paranormal for the gameplay and story backbone, and unique elements that I’m not sure that I’ve seen before in a game during my lifetime (and I’m sure I’ve missed some games). Without furt...[Read More]

The Pathless Review (Xbox Series X)

Escape Academy Review
A month or so ago, I was privy to sitting in on a preview of Escape Academy from Skybound Games and developer Coin Crew Games. The devs were known for putting together actual escape rooms in real life but had to shift their plans to a video game world when COVID hit hard. What they have created with Escape Academy is wildly addictive and best played with multiple people. While visually it’s nothin...[Read More]
Moo Lander Review
Outside of a chicken sandwich chain, if you put cows in your product, I’m game. Moo Lander from developers The Sixth Hammer is an addictive shooter with RPG elements (go figure), where you play as an alien on the hunt for…cows. The concept is out there, as is the mixture between puzzle, shooter, and RPG, but much like putting ice in milk, it’s a great combination. Let’s milk this review. Story and...[Read More]
