Star Trek: Picard “Stardust City Rag” – Review

Yippie, garish costume design by drugs fired out of a shotgun. The first episode not to be written by Chabon, “Stardust City Rag” is written by Kirsten Beyer, and she’s only ever written for Star Trek, though sadly that also means she’s a…

1.0 Release Announced for Instruments of Destruction

It was only at the last Winter sales that I bothered to pick up the Re-Mars-tered edition of Red Faction: Guerrilla. I haven’t played it yet, as I had reviews and Baldur’s Gate 3-based smooching to be getting on with, but my PS3 edition of Red Faction:…

The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered (Switch) Review

The Legend of Legacy was first released for the 3DS in 2015. Like many JRPGs released on the console, it made big swings at new mechanics that set it apart from the games to which it would be compared. Gaining a nice…
