Killing Season (2013) Review

  The premise here is interesting, the talent is extraordinary, the action and atmosphere is fine, but the end result is one of the most befuddling messes I can long remember. The premise is this; 20 years after the Bosnian war, a retired US soldier now living out in the Appalachian countryside finds a strange…

Rogue Explorer Review

Roguelikes remain pretty popular in gaming, especially when done right. "One more run" always has a way of turning into several more. Rogue Explorer is the latest in the genre, and it too maintains that "one more run" addiction. It also carries with a much more casual feeling. Is Rogue Explorer worth your money and…

Almost Famous Review

Almost Famous is a movie I not only love, but was important to me in my formative years, and my life in general. It tells the story of William Miller (Patrick Fugit), a 15 year old kid on assignment for Rolling Stone magazine. He has to cover an up and coming rock band during what…

Ms. 45 (1981) Review

It is probably not something I should admit to anyone aside a therapist, but I grew up absolutely loving the hell out of late 70s/early 80s hard boiled revenge movies such as Death Wish and the like. Now as an adult, I occasionally stumble across a title I somehow missed during those years. Ms. 45…

Chronos: Before The Ashes Review

In 2016, Gunfire Games released the RPG Chronos, which a lot of folks compared to titles like Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda. While the game was generally well received, it had an extremely limited audience because it was a VR game on PC promoted by Oculus. So you had to VR to play…

Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype Definitive Edition Review

Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype released on PS3 all the way back in May 2010, and came to PS Vita in March 2015. Now it has made its way to PS4 (and via backwards compatability PS5) in the form of the Definitive Edition. If you played the 2010 hit, then you'll probably like taking it for…

Torchlight III Review

In real life, it's been eight years since Torchlight 2 released but finally the third game in the franchise is here. In game, it's been a century since the events of Torchlight II. Novastraia is once more under threat of invasion and you'll need to venture forth into the frontier to defend against the Netherim…

Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey Review

Macrotis, the emotional puzzle platformer from the Istanbul, Turkey based Proud Dinosaurs, has finally made its way to consoles after originally releasing on PC back in February 2019 thanks to publisher EastAsiaSoft. A mother bilby needs your help to get back to her children, if you can overcome the environment and solve the puzzles to…

Cloudpunk Review

There's not much gameplay depth to ION LANDS narrative based adventure in a cyberpunk open world, but there's a good story filled with conspiracy, hackers, and a rogue AI to unravel and explore to make up for it. Originally released in April 2020 for PC, the "neon-noir story in a rain-drenched cyberpunk metropolis" Cloudpunk has…

Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football 2020 Review

It's hard to believe it's been so long, but the last NCAA Football game released all the way back on July 3, 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360. New consoles would arrive a few months later, and now we're a little over a month away from new consoles arriving again. For the past six college…
