Doctor Who “Wish World” – Review

So if “73 Yards” was vague, I think “Wish World” was written by George RR Martin and edited by the corpse of JRR Tolkien as puppeteered by Hideo Kojima. This episode was directed by the Christmas Special episode, “Joy to the World”…

Lilo and Stitch (2025 Movie) Review

Of all the remakes that have come out in recent years, Lilo & Stitch is not one that I was ever expecting. There are so many things that happened in the animated film that seemed to be a very difficult task for…

Dragon is Dead (PC) Review

I love Rogue-likes that try something different or explore a different vibe. So, when I saw the Steam Page for Dragon is Dead, I was intrigued. A Rogue-like evoking Diablo II’s loot system with an art style similar to Blasphemous? It had…

Doctor Who “The Interstellar Song Contest” – Review

It was never the same without a slightly and progressively more drunk/catty Terry Wogan. This episode was directed by War of the Worlds season 2 director Ben A Williams. Williams is probably “best” known for his series of short films released on…

Car Dealer Simulator (PC) – Review

Doctor Who “The Story & The Engine” – Review

Do I need to explain to the Whites here Anansi/Ananse? Directed by Apple Tree House and Queenie director, Makalla McPherson, this is the first of her episodes helming Doctor Who. It’s also the first episode for Nigerian-born British poet and writer, Inua…

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (Movie) Review

Of all the film franchises, Mission: Impossible has always been known for Tom Cruise and his insatiable hunger for death-defying stunts. I fondly remember watching Rogue Nation with friends during a party and putting together a last-minute dash to the theater with…

Monster Train 2 (PC) Review

Trying to knock out some of my review backlog is a challenge this time of year. As we get closer to Summer Game Fest, the importance of clearing things out so I’m not juggling deadlines along with conference coverage gets higher and…

StarVaders (PC) Review

For the past few weeks, I’ve been deep in a few RPGs. I went directly from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (my GOTY so far) to Trails Through Daybreak II, along with the new DLC for Sea of Stars, “Throes of the Watchmaker.”…
