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… Continue reading Killing Season (2013) Review

Crysis Remastered Review

In 2007, I was doing most of my gaming on the Nintendo Wii, the original Xbox, and a low-end PC (mostly playing Black Hawk Down multiplayer).

Instead, the whole story took place in the… Continue reading The Purge: Anarchy Review
