Race The Sun game review

Source: Steam This is a hyperactive zen rogue like game in which you die.  A lot.  My max life span has been something like 4 minutes!  The concept is that you are a fixed wing solar powered glider that’s racing towards a sunset.  The slower you go, the lower the sun gets.  The faster you Read the full article…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 review

Purchase from Amazon.com Directed by Francis Lawrence As the Hunger Games series comes to it’s inevitable end, we have to ask ourselves: were we entertained? I was, but man I missed the actual Hunger Games from the first movie and not the political warscape film series they turned into.

Rogue Legacy game review

Source: Amazon.com Published by: Cellar Door Games This is a rogue like game that I’ve only managed to survive for about 5 minutes at a time, it’s insanely difficult but at the same time very entertaining.  I think the most I’ve unlocked is like 10 rooms?  And half of those were empty that time through, Read the full article…

The LEGO Movie Videogame puts LEGO kids into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world.

American Ultra review

Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart star in this explosive action-adventure about a small-town slacker who discovers he’s a sleeper agent targeted by CIA operatives. Source: Amazon.com Director: Nimah Nourizadeh I like the idea, it’s basically a stoner Jason Borne movie with a splash of ultra violence thrown in, but the execution is muddled, due in Read the full article…

Air review

Source: Amazon.com Director: Christian Cantamessa Notable for a few reasons, both the actors are amazing and Robert Kirkman had some input on it, so the dialogue was on point. IMDB users didn’t enjoy it very much, so my expectations were low going in, but I was delighted to find that this was a well done, Read the full article…

Master of None review

Source: Netflix Aziz Ansari is a paradox to me: both one of the best AND worst comedians alive. I’m nearly 90% sure it’s because I abhor awkward comedy (things that are funny just because of how awkward and uncomfortable it makes everyone involved) and Aziz seems to love to wallow in it, case in point: Read the full article…

SuperMansion review

Source: Crackle Aka: Robot Chicken goes ‘all in’ on their own superhero series.

The Postmortal: A Novel review

Imagine a near future where a cure for aging is discovered and-after much political and moral debate-made available to people worldwide. Immortality, however, comes with its own unique problems-including evil green people, government euthanasia programs, a disturbing new religious cult, and other horrors. Witty, eerie, and full of humanity, The Postmortal is an unforgettable thriller Read the full article…

Minions review

The Minions, breakout stars from “Despicable Me,” are presented in an origin story that showcases their unpredictable personality and physicality, and pairs them with equally memorable human characters.

Pneuma : Breath of Life game review

Source: Xbox Games with Gold (also available on Steam) This is a troubling game, not for the narration, but for the logical leaps that a few of the puzzle mechanics had that made me angry with the developers for making such stupid and obnoxious puzzles. You’ll be steaming along listening to one of the worst Read the full article…

Star Wars Battlefront game review

The Kill Order (Maze Runner, Prequel) review

They thought the end came in a flash. Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population. The worst is yet to come. Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A Read the full article…

Avengers : Age of Ultron review

Source: Amazon.com Director: Joss Whedon I stand by my earlier comments on this movie, there’s just too damn much going on in it for the time that they gave it.
