Battletoads Review – Xbox One X

It’s been 26 long years since we last saw Rash, Pimple and Zitz smashing and bashing their enemies on the way to whooping the Dark Queen. I remember the last level and playing it with my friends on the NES… it was dark… full of floating enemies, spring jumps… and yelling… so much yelling… and crying. The yelling and crying obviously was coming from me or my buddies out of pure frustration but somehow I still hold those memories and this series near and dear to my heart. Here we are in 2020.. partially locked down due to Covid and I’m toadally (<— ehh?!?) jacked up that these characters have been brought back for a whole new generation. Set 26 years after we last saw…

Destroy All Humans! Review (Xbox One)

There was a time in the not so distant past where alien invasion movies were all the rage. The special effects were pure cheese even for their time but there’s something really special about that little slice of Americana. Even Tim Burton’s incredible Mars Attacks is an incredible big budget, yet perfect, nod to those films and it’s easily my favorite of Burton’s films. 15 long years ago, I stumbled on Destroy All Humans! at my local EB Games and just from the box art and knowing it was paying homage to those old movies from the 50s, I had to have it. I remember really enjoying the game as a whole but I also recall there being some incredibly frustrating gameplay mechanics and bugs.…

Ash – Film Review

Where do I start with this review? I’ve been pondering the movie Ash from Canadian filmmaker Andrew Huculiak for a few days now and have been trying to decide how to do this. By far this is one of, if not the most, difficult movie reviews I’ve had to do. I can’t fully divulge my feelings and thoughts on this film without full-on spoilers and that’s not typically how I like to do things. This is going to be a movie that will be rather polarizing. So if you want to go into this, I’ll explain a little later. Whelp… here it goes. Ash tells the story of a down on his luck small-town reporter, Stan Hurst (Tim Guinee), who is trying desperately to draw…

Ghost of Tsushima – Review

Jin resting with his horse

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything from Sucker Punch, the studio behind the Infamous series and everyone was likely assuming that they were hard at work on another installment of said series when Ghost of Tsushima was announced at Paris Games Week in 2017. A bold move for one of the premier studios in Sony’s portfolio. At E3 in 2018, we finally got a small taste of what to expect from this new mysterious title with a gameplay reveal featuring Jin, the series protagonist, riding his horse, Nobu, through these sweeping fields with white plants as the wind blew in gusts all around him and he enteredinto a forested area and squares off against 5 enemies and it was an absolute thing…
