The Sonic The Hedgehog movie is out this week. Seeing the blue furball in action did trigger some unpleasant memories. No, we're not talking about the first draft Sonic we saw with the human teeth. This turn of events reminded me of the number of video game clones made to cash in on the success of Sega's first-ever Sonic The Hedgehog game. Yes,...

The debut of Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie is a historical event in comic book film history. Many would argue it was the true beginning of the masses finally buying into the appeal of the genre. Many other superhero movies were made prior but almost none were as culturally impactful. Fast forward to 2019, and we now have eight Spider-Man bloc...

365 days ago, Apex Legends dropped on our laps without any fanfare nor teasers. No marketing spiel. No promises. No warning. In 2019, this was unprecedented considering "traction" and "build-up" are and have always been the buzzwords marketers lean on to in ensuring their product receive the biggest hype leading up to a spike in player count o...
A brand new fighting game has entered the field. It's a beautiful and vibrant game called Granblue Fantasy: Versus (GBVS) developed by Arc System Works, who are well-known for their works on anime-style fighting games. To many, GBVS might seem like a brand new game featuring a brand new concept, but it isn't. Rather, it's actually a spinoff title...
"Life's a bitch and then you die, right?" "Sometimes. Sometimes life's a bitch and you keep living." It's indeed an end of an era as one of Netflix's longest-running animated drama comedy Bojack Horseman, a show about a former child star who copes with alcoholism and depression, is coming to a close. It's a sort-of nihilistic show covered up with...

Star Wars celebrates its 43rd anniversary in 2020. The franchise is still very much a pop-culture juggernaut in this day and age, as evident by the one-billion-dollar box office return of the disappointing Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker and the viral popularity of Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian. To celebrate the ending of the Skywalker Saga and...

From the freaky to the cuddly and then back to disgusting because of the viruses they can carry, here are our top picks. Or bottom picks, depending on whether you like these creatures or not. The...
Despite some people saying otherwise, 2019 is friggin' awesome games-wise. In fact, I had a hard time keeping track of a ton of games, be it the indies or the big ones. Kinda like 2017 and 2018. Maybe some honourable mentions first... Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Nintendo Switch) I'm still trying to finish up my first run, so I can't in good faith...
