  • Gravity Rush 2 (Demo)

    —

    ,

    I was fully expecting to enjoy this – based on how much I like the first game – but what was especially great to see is just how beautiful it looks. The main character especially looks like a playable cartoon, and the movement is a joy to watch. I think what I enjoy seeing the…

  • Nier: Automata (Demo)

    —

    ,

    Played this the other day, and wow, even though I was already looking forward to this game, it managed to surpass my expectations. The combat is pleasantly a bit on the Bayonetta side of things (one of my favorite series and character), it has a cool sci-fi setting (which I prefer over the fantasy of…

  • Paper Mario: Sticker Star

    —

    ,

    Yup, this is far from being a new game – it came out for the 3DS in 2012 – but I found myself in a 3DS playing mood of late, getting back into playing Fire Emblem Awakening (that I had never finished, and decided to start up a new game), and wanting to play something…

  • Gwent (Beta)

    —

    ,

    I surprisingly still haven’t played The Witcher III (I’m thinking of getting to it during the holiday break), but I have heard plenty about Gwent, the in-game fully realized card game this is now spinning off into its own game. I was pretty excited to try this – as I’m a longtime Magic: The Gathering…

  • Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

    —

    ,

    I was interested by this series when I first heard about it – I like Douglas Adams (although I’ve only read his Hitchhiker’s stuff), and I generally enjoy the stuff that Elijah Wood is in – and so was happy to see it pop up on Netflix (as a Netflix Original here in Canada). I’ve…

  • Reggie Watts: Spatial

    —

    ,

    At the extreme opposite end of that Michael Che comedy special is the new Reggie Watts special – called Spatial – also just released on Netflix. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Watts, and know what to expect from him – awkward laughs, weirdness, musical interludes, etc. This is what you get here, but…

  • Michael Che Matters

    —

    ,

    I really like Michael Che – I got to see him perform live last year at the Just for Laughs festival, and of course enjoy him every week on SNL’s “Weekend Update.” I was pretty happy to see a comedy special by him pop up on Netflix last week, and I’m happy to say I…

  • Color Guardians

    —

    ,

    This is another of this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus (like Tiny Troopers Joint Ops), and it’s been a pleasant surprise to play it. I knew absolutely nothing about it, and so it came as a nice surprise to see not only a beautiful and colorful game like this, but one that’s fun to…
