Video Review: Switch Ultra Pro Controller Hall Effect Edition
When the Nintendo Switch first launched, fans had limited controller options. There were the Joy-Cons and the more traditional Pro Controller. Here we are 7 years post-launch, and the situation couldn’t be any more different. The third-party accessory makers have been hard at work, conjuring up a multitude of different controllers. Some sought to compete against the Joy-Cons, others went for...[Read More]
The Plucky Squire (PC) Review
Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series is often credited as revolutionizing top-down action-adventure games. This is evident by the influence the franchise has had on the genre. Examples include indie darling Tunic and the upcoming Mina the Hollower. The impact Zelda’s gameplay has had on the industry is proof Nintendo struck gold in 1986. Indie newcomer All Possible Futures’ first title The Plucky...[Read More]
Gunnar Glasses: Fallout Vault 33 Edition Review
I didn’t fully grasp the wide breadth of style and pure ambition from the folks over at GUNNAR who provided us with a pair of their Fallout Vault 33 glasses. Coinciding with the release of the Amazon Prime show, these Fallout-themed spectacles provided me with even more ease while also providing me with a sense of comfort. Similar to the Call of Duty glasses I reviewed before, GUNNAR embraces them...[Read More]
Skull and Bones Review
Everyone has been riding this pirate wave since about 2003 with the huge success of Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie that definitely inspired studios to recreate the aura and atmosphere of a scalawag’s life. Somehow, Skull and Bones brings me back to that one house party where a friend wouldn’t stop attempting to gain everyone’s attention by doing a poor Captain Jack Sparrow impression.
The COD Alpha and UAV Gunnar Optiks Review
Eyes, they are the windows of the soul as they say. And as it turns out, they are quite fragile. Everything from dirt and debris to The Mountain from Game of Thrones can cause massive and irreparable harm. Another threat to our eyes happens to be the glowing, almost indistinguishable blue light emitting from your screen. I can say that since my ears have become destroyed by years of heavy metal mu...[Read More]
QRD Stellar T5 Wireless Joy Pads For Switch Review
The Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons are quite divisive controllers. While praised for being two controllers in one, the Joy-Cons have many issues. Its small form factor and expensive cost come to mind, with the biggest problem being the tendency to stick drift. Controller manufacturer QRD Game recently released their QRD Stellar T5; A full-fledged wireless Joy-Con alternative compatible with Nintendo Swi...[Read More]
World of Horror Review (PC)
How can a horror game with a graphical look pulled straight from a black-and-white 1980s Apple IIe manage to instill fear and dread? In a world of high-fidelity jump scares and graphic violence that would make ‘80s slasher movie makers say “That might be a little over the top”, can a tiny indie horror game blending Lovecraftian and Japanese horror elements bring something new to this blood-saturat...[Read More]

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (2023) Xbox Review
When it comes to Call of Duty, you can easily expect that it will be something similar to the prior year with some modified changes. This year, Activision & Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 takes a different approach to the renowned franchise and changes everything we know about Modern Warfare; well at least to the story’s lore. Since Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 ...[Read More]
Digimon 02: The Beginning Review
The premiere of Digimon Adventure 02 was a highly anticipated event for me as a kid. It would not be hyperbole to say that this particular season was on par with my excitement for the opening of The Phantom Menace the previous summer. Every weekend for years, I would rush to the TV to see what adventures Tai, Matt, and the rest of the DigiDestined would be getting into. As a result, I was shocked ...[Read More]
