  • Reigns: Her Majesty

    This has quickly turned into one of my favorite mobile games of the year. I enjoyed the first one, but I feel like this sequel is really superior, with a mix of terrific writing and a few little extra gameplay elements that get added to the choose-your-own-adventure base. Well worth getting.

  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Yeah, I know, it’s about time I get to this. I’d always been wanting to play it, but just didn’t get around to it when it came out, and then the continuous release of other things I wanted to play kept pushing it back. But I finally got around to playing it this week —…

  • Sonic Forces

    I need to start by saying just how much I dislike the character designs in this game, and the overall messy story. Every character is just so damn ugly, and it’s painful to watch. So what’s good about this game? I will say that I enjoy playing through the 2D levels, just like I did…

  • Uncharted: Lost Legacy

    This is such a terrific game. I’ve played through all of the Uncharted games, and I think this is my favorite one so far. Even though it’s shorter (I think I played through it in about 7-8 hours) it felt just right to me, and it means that I got to play it pretty much…

  • Craig Ferguson: Tickle Fight

    Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve watched a stand-up special, and I’m glad I watched this new one from Craig Ferguson on Netflix. I quite like his brand of comedy — even though I didn’t regularly watch his late night show, I did watch it here and there, and always enjoyed his vibe…

  • Godless

    Our team Christmas party was held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts this year, and during the party we had access to the current main exhibition, which is all about the history of westerns. I love me some westerns, and this put me in a mood to watch a bunch (either re-watch or find…

  • Dunkirk

    I’d been looking forward to watching this, and I have to agree that it probably would have had more of an impact if seen in a theater (especially in IMAX). That said, I still quite enjoyed it, and was pretty much glued to the screen from start to finish. Not my favorite Nolan film, but…

  • Waves ’98

    I caught this on Mubi, a Lebanese short film (a Cannes Palme d’or winner) that’s mostly animated, but mixing in a few live-action/photographic elements. It has a dream-like or poetic structure, and so narratively I didn’t find much to latch on, but I really loved the visuals on show, beautifully animated.
