Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One Genre: Battle Royale Response From Activision After months of hype building and terribly kept secrets on Activision's part (or was it?), Call of Duty's latest battle royale mode, Warzone, finally dropped in. Rightfully living up to its hype with all guns blazing, they didn't spare any bullets, no sir. Activision conti...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Co-op puzzler WayForward has figured out the old-school 2D neo retro-style game and aesthetic down to a science. With titles like the Shantae series and their take on the Double Dragon/Kunio-kun universe, there's nowhere to go but up for this developer. Though it does beg the question whether they can branch out of...
All I remember of Trolls were the scraggly-looking dolls with scruffy hair from when I was a kid. When the Trolls animated movie came out in 2016, I dismissed it, only watching it several days ago to prepare for Trolls World Tour. I was surprised to discover that it was by Dreamworks Animation and that it was a decent animated movie, though one th...
Platform: Xbox One, PC Genre: Whimsical 2D Platformer That Will Make A Man Out Of You And so, we've come to the end of a console generation, and with it a slew of tryhards aiming to be the capstone before the new toys come in. Even at the end of the Xbox One's rather lukewarm cycle, the console still manages to churn out a few gems here and the...
Superman Red Son is one of the most iconic Elseworlds DC Comics IP of all time. Back in 2003, Mark Millar's seminal comic book miniseries featured an intriguing premise; what if Kal-El/Superman's shuttle crashed landed in Soviet Russia at the height of communism as a baby, instead of Kansas in the good old US of A? Now, Warner Bros Animation has a...
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: A-Class For Effort 3D Fighting Game One Punch Man is one of those anime/manga that's meant to be both a celebration and satire on the western idea of superheroes. Compared to My Hero Academia, it's much more of the latter. I've never read the manga/webcomic, nor have I watched the anime, but after playing One Pun...
The Invisible Man has been a fixture of science fiction and literature for more than a century. This new reimagining by Saw franchise co-creator and horror veteran Leigh Whannell is the first modern movie adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic since 2000's Hollow Man starring Kevin Bacon and Thanos. In a world where corrupt individuals abuse and exploi...
When's the last time you've seen a film that pays proper respect to Gary Gygax's Dungeons & Dragons and LARPing? I'm waiting. While Pixar's latest 3D animation offering Onward doesn't outright focus on D&D, but it does pay homage to its numerous established fantasy tropes from tabletop fantasy games to collectable card games based on its u...
Review originally published on 10th February. We pushed it to 2nd March as the game will finally be out for the US. Platform: PS4 Genre: 2D anime fighting game with Street Fighter footsies Size isn't everything, but when it comes to fighting game rosters, it's usually quality and quantity. And Granblue Fantasy: Versus' selection, while unique...
Back in 2002, Inti Creates cemented their reputation as the go-to 2D platformer-with-a-challenge creators with the Mega Man Zero series. For so many years, they've created arguably the best Mega Man successors on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS with four Mega Man Zero titles and two Mega Man ZX entries. Each of these entries significantly...
As talented as Clint Eastwood is as an actor in his prime (in the 60s and 70s) and as a director (Gran Torino, Sully), he will somehow shoehorn in his right-wing agenda and views that can sometimes stand out like a sore thumb. And nowhere is this more apparent than his biopic(?) of Richard Jewell called, well, Richard Jewell. Sensationalism, Ho! Th...
In this day and age, it's hard to make an animal-focused film without pouring an astronomical amount on your computer graphics budget. Either that or train a bunch of animals to perform with actors. We don't see much of the latter happening in this era of filmmaking anymore. Producers and studios would much rather spend a bit more on effects than ...
"It's the final lap, I slammed the brakes and immediately dropped into third as I swung my BMW M6 GT3 right into Copse. The Audi R8 LMS was hot on my tail so I didn't dare to shave off my speed as I head into the esses of Maggotts and Becketts. The telepathic handling of the BMW negotiated the bends well. The same can't be said for the R8 as under...
The 90s were the era of company mascots. Nintendo had Mario, PlayStation had Crash Bandicoot, Xbox didn't exist, and Sega had Sonic. While that trend has died down along with the downfall of Sega as a major force in the never-ending console wars, Sonic The Hedgehog remains iconic and prevalent even now, despite the lack of good modern games. Survi...
Remember King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and last year's Aladdin? Woof, I try to forget those two disasters and the fact that they're from a talented filmmaker like Guy Ritchie. Yes, the same Guy who did the classic British-centric crime films Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. The same Guy who also gave us a few decent Sherlock Hol...
The first of two DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies in 2020 has arrived and it officially kicks off as the first major comic book adaptation of the year. Let's make one thing clear from the get-go; Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) should have been called Harley Quinn And The Birds Of Prey instead; a title which i...
Locke And Key continues the trend of great comic book adaptations by Netflix, as the streaming giant capitalizes on the booming genre by gobbling up the rights of any non-Marvel or DC property it could get its hands on. This time it's based on the best-selling comic book series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez published by IDW Publishing. In case...
Platform(s): PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Chillax Visual Novel With Coffee-Making Minigame As much fun as I had with hyper action games & tense 1v1 fighting online, sometimes you need to tone it down with a little exquisite point-and-click-on-text-box experience or two. That's where the visual novel genre comes in, along with its expecte...
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Epic Genre: A proper and fun No Man's Sky, with actual co-op at launch! Despite its backlash post-launch and its eventual "fix-er-upping", the sci-fi exploration game No Man's Sky had promise. It had players explore to the edges of the universe for new planets and places; it's the excitement of discoverin...
When it comes to buying gaming laptops, Alienware is one of those brands you can't miss. The Alienware M15 R2 is somewhere up there in high tier when it comes to gaming laptop rankings. I received one of those beasts for a review, and it really deserves its moniker for a reason. Packing Heat Let's just get the specs out of the way. This monster ...
