Power Rangers Battle for the Grid Season 3 Marks Bright Future
Being a geeky kid that grew up in the 90s, it is no surprise that I absolutely adore the Power Rangers. My love of video games always kept me wanting a really good Power Rangers game, one that captured the high-octane, albeit campy, action of the series. Not long ago, I reviewed Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, a 3v3 fighting game from nWay Inc. that fell more in line with the energy stirred up...[Read More]
Power Rangers Battle for the Grid (PS4) Review
At one time, Power Rangers was the most successful television brand that Fox had ever produced. Working in tandem with Saban Entertainment, the show caused an almost instant cultural phenomenon by using Japanese Super Sentai footage and injecting it with an American narrative where actors were brought in and voices were dubbed over ranger scenes. Throughout the 90s, Power Rangers was unstoppable b...[Read More]

Power Rangers Battle for the Grid Update adds PS4 Crossplay and Lobbies
Usually, Power Rangers games do not get continued support, often being developed and released quickly. Yet, that trend has appeared to die out as more focus is being given to recent games.

What can be said about the Power Rangers franchise? Equal parts campy fun, insane martial arts, and giant robot action, it’s a long-running favorite of both kids and those who grew up with it. Nowadays, the series is getting noticed again with an upcoming feature film and part of the hype is this little downloadable title.

Funko Pop Adds More Power Rangers!
I never was super into the Pop! collectible figures. I love their look and how just about anything has been turned into a collectible, but I didn’t get into them as much as I did the Amiibo line of figures. However, my minuscule collection of Pop! has always been missing something. I’ve always been a huge fan of Tommy, the Green Power Ranger. So much so, that I went to Otakon in Baltim...[Read More]
The Power Rangers Film Suits Revealed
The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is one of the earliest shows I remember watching as a child. Therefore, I will admit I have a lot of nostalgia for the monster-of-the-week formula, chilling out at juice bars, and robots fitting together into one super cool robot. Sure, the shows are campy, often poor representations of their Japanese counterparts. Yet, I still love the series. Coming in Mar...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 017 – “Scandal and Success on the Internet (The Tribute)”
This one’s a couple of days late, but I blame technology, the harsh, cruel mistress that deals us all a slap on the face at one point or another. Due to unavoidable circumstances, we were unable to record on Sunday for a Monday release. We did record Monday evening, but technology (the aforementioned harsh, cruel mistress) decided to lose our recording file. Today, we attempted to recreate o...[Read More]
