    I got this for PS4 back in October when it was offered as one of the PS+ games for that month, and I’m reminded now that I should go back and play some more, because I do remember enjoying the visuals, and the hacking and slashing was decent – in fact, I remember playing the…

  • Lucha Underground

    Gotta say I’ve been really enjoying this. It’s a new wrestling promotion that airs on the El Rey network, and focuses on the lucha libre style of wrestling – and is in fact connected to the Mexican AAA promotion. It does a great job of creating storylines to introduce all of these unknown (to me…

    Yes, I finally got around to watching this. It’s certainly a lovely film to watch on a technical level, but in terms of story and characters, I preferred Tangled. And yes, the fact that “Let It Go” has been so overexposed over the past year really makes it annoying when it comes up, but I…

    This is a really great UK documentary from 2002 about the Pixies, that you can watch on YouTube. It’s pretty neat seeing David Bowie, Radiohead, and PJ Harvey (and many others) wax poetically about their love for the band, and the parts from the London show you see (from a 1988 London gig) are so…

    I truly loved watching the first episode of the new Let’s Play series by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions (makers of the fantastic Amnesia Fortnight and Adventure documentary series). My first Let’s Play love has been the terrific Lo-Fi Let’s Play series by Leigh Alexander, in which she plays old Apple II games from…

    This is a game I’ve been wanting to get ever since it came out earlier this year, and seeing it on sale this week on PSN finally got me to pull the trigger. I’ve only played a couple of sessions so far, but as expected, it’s a pretty fun puzzler, although I’m starting to get…

  • Peggle 2

    What is there to say, really. It’s Peggle, it’s fun. It feels good to get “Ultra Extreme Fever.” I had a hell of a lot of fun playing the first one, and was bummed when the second one only came out on the Xbox One (the one console I don’t own). I’m glad it finally…

  • Race the Sun

    You may remember this as the game that came out as it was announced by Sony during its keynote at E3 earlier this year, and I finally picked it up this past week, incentivised by the fact that it’s currently on sale. I didn’t really know what to expect, other than I dug the aesthetics…
