    I love platforming, but I’m not particularly attracted to games that punish me – I only truly got into Dark Souls once I was able to play it with a couch co-pilot, who coached me through it. I always liked what I saw from the N series, but never ended up playing it that much…

  • King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember

    ,

    Having grown up playing the original King’s Quest games – not all, but a bunch, and I still have quite vivid memories of playing King’s Quest V, which at the time had cutting edge visuals for an adventure game – I was pretty excited at the idea of revisiting that world, especially as it looked…

  • Journey

    I’d forgotten just how much I love Journey. The game was re-released on PS4 recently, and since it’s cross-buy (as with all Thatgamecompany games) I had the PS3 version and so suddenly had access to this version. Last night, after completing the first episode of King’s Quest, I was looking to play something else before…

  • The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

    I was lucky enough to get to attend an advanced screening of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie earlier this week, and I gotta say, I really, really liked it. It’s no secret I’m a spy buff, with a mild (OK, not so mild) obsession with Bond, and so when I first saw the trailer for…

  • Garfunkel and Oates

    I remember that when this series launched they had a bunch of promo videos online with the two stars singing songs, and at that point I already knew I’d love it. Since it’s on Netflix now (it’s originally an IFC series) I started watching it, and it’s just as good as I hoped. Love these…

    Didn’t really know about this series until the recent launch of the second season, but sounded fun so decided to start watching the first season. I’ve watched 3 episodes far, and yeah, this show is great. The voice casting is inspired too, it’s fun to recognize the guest actors. Glad I have a whole bunch…

  • Wet Hot American Summer

    I’ll admit that the movie was something I finally only got to recently – it was one of those things I’d been meaning to watch for ages, but just never got around to it. I finally watched it about a month ago, prompted by the promise of the soon-to-start Netflix series, and it ended up…

  • Rocket League

    I thought this game looked fun when I first saw a trailer for it a few months ago, and having played it now, it’s even better than I was hoping. Yeah, sure, playing soccer while driving cars sounds incredibly weird and nonsensical, but it really is a blast to play, with the driving controls perfectly…
