Doctor Who Series 12 “Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror” – Review

What’s the dullard’s idea of retro-futurist thinking? Nikola Tesla is the face that closed off weirdos on the internet hold up because he died penniless with nothing but his idea of the future succeeding him. Yes, he invented and thought of many…

Hovership Havoc (Xbox One) Review

Twin-stick shooters are a favorite of mine. When I first got into PC gaming, I really enjoyed playing these overly-stylized, arcade-like shooters. There’s usually a lot happening, and the thrill of feeling overwhelmed while trying to push forward to the next level…

I love Doctor Who. How do I know this? I’ve been watching the show since its return in 2005, I often quote it, and as I write this and rewatch the episode I’m drinking out of a TARDIS mug. Previously I’ve spoken about…

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS4) – Review

It is that point in the year, and decade for that matter, that we all look back at what we’ve played. Now, yes I know Drake’s Fortune didn’t release this decade, but I played it this decade so your argument is beside the…

Apex Legends (PS4) Review

As the year closes out, I want to look back on a game that’s helped define the year for me. It’s a game that came out of nowhere but became an explosive hit. It’s a game that’s slotted its way into where…
