Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), PlayStation 5, Xbox SeriesGenre: Shoot 'em up, Top-Down Shooter, Sci-Fi, Bullet Hell The bullet hell genre has historically remained on the fringes, never truly taking centre stage in the world of gaming.

It's been 36 years since Beetlejuice was originally released in 1988 and the juice is loose. By that, I mean that Tim Burton's creative juices are flowing again and I'm happy to say that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is the iconic director's best movie in years. The Juice Is Loose While I was initially disappointed that the Maitlands (previously pl...
The Terminator franchise consists of scifi-slash-contemporary stories that involves killing machines, rogue AIs, and the humans who defy their fates and sacrificing themselves for the future of an AI-free mankind. Parts of that are relatable given the current trend of AI tools being a substitute rather than a tool (just do a quick search on your fa...
Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), PS5 Genre: Hero shooter This is probably one of the most challenging reviews I’ve ever had to write, not because it's difficult to critique, but because it's easy to get lost in the noise surrounding its release.

The first season of The Lord Of The Rings The Rings Of Power came out in 2022 and received mostly negative reactions from Tolkien fans. However, Prime Video saw fit to give the series at least a second chance (probably because of how much it cost, this is already one of the most expensive TV series productions in history). Thank Eru Ilúvatar becau...
Platform(s): PlayStation 5 (version reviewed), PlayStation 4, PC Genre: Action, Hack-and-slash, Build-A-Gundam, GunPla Figurines and models based on anime and pop culture characters are common and healthy hobbies to have (in moderation).

Platform(s): PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PCGenre: Open-World, Stealth, Third-Person Shooter, Space Combat Part of what makes Star Wars unique even amongst many other iconic science fiction franchises is the seedy criminal underworld in its universe.

Platform(s): PC (version reviewed), Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Empire management/dating sim Empire sims are a genre that I’ve always been intrigued by but never had the time nor the expendable income to invest in.

Platform(s): PC (Version reviewed), PS5, Xbox Series Genre: Adventure, walking sim, noir, scifi I've always wanted to play a first-person detective game that goes beyond being a cinematic venture; L.A.

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of the revered Alien franchise. Ever since the first Alien movie directed by Ridley Scott premiered in 1979, science fiction horror has never been the same. That being said, the franchise arguably peaked early with its first two movies, and every subsequent movie has failed to reach the same heights (yes, not even Ri...

With all these awesome video game film and series adaptations doing huge justice to their sources like the Fallout TV show and last year's Captain Laserhawk, it's only fair that the scales are balanced with a complete dud of a film that misses the mark. The new Borderlands movie, released in August 2024, may not be a complete abysmal train wreck, b...
