Skate Season 2 review: I gave up after Season 1, but this game convinced me to fall for it again
TL;DR: Season 2 makes Skate feel fuller, livelier, and more intentional without fixing everything. A confident step forward—still imperfect, still growing, but absolutely worth returning to if Season 1 left you unconvinced.…
GAMEBABY review: the case that made my thumbs remember their 90s glory days
TL;DR: A clever two-piece iPhone case with real physical buttons that simulate touch inputs, turning Delta into a genuine retro handheld. Nearly flawless performance, great nostalgia factor, no MagSafe support,…
My Secret Santa review: a holiday rom-com running on familiar Christmas code
TL;DR: My Secret Santa is a predictable but warm Netflix holiday rom-com powered almost entirely by Alexandra Breckenridge’s heartfelt, funny, emotionally grounded performance. It sticks closely to the genre formula but uses…
Oh. What. Fun. review: a festive comedy that forgot to install the emotional patch
TL;DR: Oh. What. Fun. wants to reinvent the holiday movie through a mom-focused lens, but ends up serving a reheated casserole of old clichés, confusing tonal shifts, and underdeveloped emotional…
The Abandons review: style, fury, and some very questionable dialogue
TL;DR: The Abandons is an over-serious, occasionally clunky, but undeniably compelling western powered by two killer performances from Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey. The script wobbles, the tone is heavier than…
Marvel Cosmic Invasion review: a beautiful, quippy, nostalgic punch through the Marvel universe
TL;DR: A wildly fun comic-book beat ’em up with fantastic tag-team action and a great roster, held back by too much chatter and barely-there progression. Great campaign, less replayable Arcade,…
Sleep Awake review: a killer horror premise trapped inside a sleepwalking stealth game
TL;DR: Sleep Awake has killer ideas and a few genuinely terrifying moments, but its routine stealth and dense, dry lore make large portions feel more sleepy than scary. Brilliant premise, mixed…
Octopath Traveler 0 review: a 16-bit soul wrapped in a 4K emotional crisis
TL;DR: Octopath Traveler 0 finally fixes the series’ long-standing narrative issues, delivers its best combat yet, and preserves a mobile saga with surprising heart — even if it still shows…
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 review: lore chaos, jump scares, and animatronic nonsense done right
TL;DR: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is a messy, fun, lore-soaked celebration of everything that makes the franchise such a bizarre cultural phenomenon. It’s made for fans first, moviegoers second,…
Primitive War review: because what Vietnam really needed was a T-Rex
TL;DR: Primitive War is a joyously trashy, Vietnam-set dino bloodbath filled with Creedence tracks, plasticky monsters, and buckets of gore. It’s repetitive but never boring — a beer-and-popcorn fever dream…
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond review: a return trip I didn’t know I needed, even when it got weird
TL;DR: A sometimes messy but often brilliant revival, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond stumbles in its open-world hub and companion chatter but shines in its core exploration, atmosphere, and world design.…
IT: Welcome to Derry episode 6 review: Mrs. Kersh’s twisted origin rewires Pennywise lorea
TL;DR: Mrs. Kersh is not the biological daughter of Pennywise, but episode 6 uses her belief to explore how IT manipulates vulnerable individuals. The story deepens the mythology of Derry…
Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 Gaming Keyboard review: the magnetic switch marvel I didn’t see coming
TL;DR: A compact, premium 96% keyboard with excellent magnetic switches, smartly placed macro keys, a surprisingly useful LCD panel, great gaming and typing performance, clean web-based software, and only a…
Mayor of Kingstown S4E6 review: Frank Moses finally shows his real face, and it isn’t pretty
TL;DR: Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Episode 6 is a relentless, emotionally charged hour that digs into betrayal, prison trauma, and shifting loyalties, all while showcasing the full villainy of…
Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless review: the 36-gram mouse that redefined my aim
TL;DR: The Corsair Sabre V2 Pro Ultralight Wireless is ridiculously light, shockingly sturdy, and laser-focused on competitive gaming performance. Great sensor, zero bloat, web-based software, and a clean design make…
Escape from Tarkov review: a masterpiece held together by tape, trauma, and gunfire
TL;DR: A brilliant but flawed extraction shooter with unmatched tension and combat, dragged down by obtuse design and a disappointing 1.0 rollout — yet still absolutely worth playing. Escape from…
Project Motor Racing review: a racing game that needs a pit stop… or twelve
TL;DR: A potentially promising sim weighed down by chaotic AI, unfair penalties, inconsistent handling, and last-gen presentation. Fun in certain cars with a wheel, but mediocre overall — and nowhere…
Kevin Hart: Acting My Age review: gorillas, ER trips, and one very tired 40-something
TL;DR: Kevin Hart: Acting My Age is a lively, heartfelt Netflix stand-up special where Hart turns his infamous sprinting injury and a chaotic family gorilla adventure into comedy gold. It’s Kevin…
