Sonic Frontiers Review
When Sonic CD was released, it opened with an animated cutscene showcasing our favorite hedgehog as he raced across a countryside, doing all sorts of stunts. Dashing across fields, down cliffs, launching off mountains, all beautiful. With each game that had a hub world to explore as Sonic, from the Sega Saturn title Sonic Jam, to Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, there was a tantalizing possibilit...[Read More]
Review: The Batman – The Dynamic Duo
It’s been a decade since the last Batman movie that wasn’t part of an attempt to fast-track a cinematic universe, and after years of production and one pandemic-spawned delay, Matt Reeves’ The Batman is finally upon us.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (Review) – A Film 19 Years in the Making
When I walked into this movie, my greatest worry was that it was going to just end up being Into the Spiderverse but in live-action. What I ended up seeing was the Avengers: Endgame of Spider-Man movies. So how is Spider-Man: No Way Home and is it worth the watch?

It’s the rematch of the ages as two of cinema’s most iconic monsters clash once again.

King of Fighters XIV Ultimate Edition (PlayStation 4) Review
One of the more… interesting genres in modern gaming is the fighting game. Whether you call it that or by the term “tournament fighter,” the fact is that they’ve changed a lot as video game arcades are in their decline. The genre has always been one that threads the line between “casual pick up and play” gamers and “hardcore technical professional” p...[Read More]

Shantae and the Seven Sirens (PS4) Review
I still kick myself for not noticing the Shantae series when it started. An Arabian Nights-style aesthetic AND a Metroidvania? How could I not enjoy it? Way Forward has done an amazing job building on each game’s success to make the next one bigger and better. With Shantae and the Seven Sirens, does the series finally hit the big time?
