Honestly Court of Owls ruining the Wayne murder origin is my biggest fear too. That random mugging is what makes Bruce relatable, it could happen to anyone. Turn it into a conspiracy and suddenly Batman is just fighting his own social class drama instead of representing regular people who lost...

Whales don't actually swallow humans whole in real life, their throats are too narrow for most species, so calling this researched feels like a stretch to me. I still might watch it for the tension alone but I won't pretend the science claims are convincing.

The invisible villain sounds interesting, but I'm honestly more interested in Peter's personal journey. Losing everyone you care about without actually losing them is a pretty unique situation. That kind of emotional conflict is harder to solve than punching someone. If the movie spends enough...

This is becoming a pattern now. First Octopath Traveler and now Star Ocean. It makes me wonder if this is going to happen with more Square Enix games on Switch 2. If that's the plan, I'll just keep buying their games on PC instead. At least I know my library will still be there, and I don't have...

To me, the funniest part is that Elephant Mario is being treated like a luxury statue. That is not a bad thing. It just shows how far collectible gaming merchandise has gone. Mario has been turned into a lot of things over the years, but this version really leans into the physical joke. It is...

I'm cautiously optimistic. Square Enix has announced plenty of projects that looked amazing in trailers and ended up being just okay for me. The visuals already look like they have the hard part figured out. Now it comes down to pacing, combat, and whether the story can stand on its own. I'm...

The real surprise to me is that they made Scooby the least Scooby-like part of the show. I expected changes because every reboot does something different, but turning him into just a normal dog is a strange choice. The franchise has ghosts, monsters, talking dogs, and weird inventions. Realism...

I was skeptical about new games trying to recreate old-school Sega vibes, but Sir Noggin exceeded my expectations. The character design of Sir Noggin is charming and the enemies are often funny-looking, which gives a nice balance between challenge and fun. I found the boss fights particularly...

The thing that excites me most is how they preserved the Vectrex’s distinct personality while making it accessible. The customizable logos and screen overlays show attention to detail. I appreciate when retro consoles get treated with respect rather than just rebranded cheaply. The stretch goals...

I do not understand how Microsoft expects gamers to accept this. Game Pass was their main appeal, and now it seems like a poor value. Ten dollars a month is substantial, especially for students or young adults who rely on budget subscriptions. I know some people will argue that extra content...

I am really digging the horror lineup for November. Crownsville #1 sounds like a must-buy. The fact that it's based on a real, segregated asylum just adds a whole other layer of creepiness. You do not see that kind of historical grounding in horror comics very often. I'm also hyped for High...

I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs for over 20 years and I’ve seen a lot of post-apocalyptic games come and go. Honestly, the setting for TAZ feels a bit familiar. You have your broken Earth, mysterious underground cities, and evil forces trying to wipe out the last humans. That’s been done before...

I’ll probably just get the $30 version for Switch. I never played Doom before, but I heard it’s important. I don’t need all that stuff with boxes and monitors. Just the game is fine for me. But I think it’s cool they made all these editions.

Superman 64? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time! This game is notorious for its jank and glitches, but BradHarmar's decision to shrink the view screen to its smallest size adds a whole new layer of absurdity to the experience. It's hilarious to see Superman navigate the world in...

OMG! Rick and Morty comics in September? This is gonna be SO AWESOME! I gotta snag all the issues, especially the Halloween one. Maybe Morty finally gets to turn the tables on Rick this time? That would be epic! I wonder if they'll have any new crazy gadgets or wacky adventures? I can't...
