  • Mercenary Kings

    I’m pretty sure I don’t like this game. I thought I’d really like it, since it looked like a cross between Metal Slug and Contra, with a more modern design sensibility (and it’s a free PS+ download on PS4), but so far I’m just not really having much fun playing it. The thing that is…

  • Monument Valley

    ,

    As everyone has been saying since its release last week, this game is indeed a thing of wonder. The visual aesthetics alone make it a must-buy, but the sounds also add a lot to the good feels you get while playing it. The game so far isn’t particularly challenging – I’ve only played about half…

  • What Up With That?

    —

    Let’s get to some updates. Since all of my sites died this past weekend – see previous post – I’d like to post something here that offers up a few updates on everything. I do hope to have versions of some of these sites up again in the near future, but it’s going to take…

  • Harmony of Despair

    I remember when this first came out a few years ago, and that I wasn’t too excited about it. I eventually picked it up during a sale, and even then, it took a while before I finally really played it with a friend over, and that’s when this game truly shines. Last night I played…

  • Nintendo Land

    ,

    I finally got to play some multiplayer Nintendo Land last night, and it was an absolute blast. Before that I had tried a few of the solo games, and although they were fine, it wasn’t really the kind of thing I’d go back to. But having a bunch of friends over and playing through stuff…

  • Vice

    ,

    I’m a big fan of the HBO incarnation of Vice, and with a second season having recently started, I’m again enjoying watching reports on stuff that, well, you just don’t usually see covered by regular news outlets. And I say enjoy, but it’s more constant outrage, like with the report on slavery in Pakistan from…

  • The Desolation of Smaug

    —

    ,

    Despite the fact that I love the original LOTR trilogy to death – and have watched the extended editions multiple times – I’ve had trouble getting excited for The Hobbit trilogy. I’m pretty sure it’s the tone I don’t like, due to the overly jolly band of dwarves that form the focus of the films.…

  • Anchorman 2

    —

    ,

    It saddens me to say I didn’t find this to be all that great. Sure, there are definitely some big laughs in there, and I quite enjoyed that cameo-filled ridiculous park brawl near the end, but overall, it just felt disappointing. Maybe I just remember Anchorman as being funnier than it was, but there were…
