‘Nex Machina’ Review: Twin Stick Perfection

4.8
out of 5
It's said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In Nex Machina, a new twin stick shooter from Finnish developer Housemarque, each time the player dies, they respawn and must start that platform over again. Well I must be crazy, because I absolutely loved Nex Machina. As in previous TSS, players use the left analog stick to move and the right to aim and fire. Played in an overhead view the…  Read More

‘Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets’ Review: Sci-Fi Fun, With One Huge Flaw

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Review

out of 5
I love good science fiction. Fantastical worlds and spectacle, wrapped up in a very human story, has always been my go-to for entertainment, whether it be film, TV, comics, or novels. And good sci-fi is hard to find these days -- true sci-fi. Until now, that is. In Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Lucy, Leon: The Professional) has adapted a 50-year-old iconic French comic book series by creators Pierre Christin and…  Read More

‘Dunkirk’ Review: Nolan’s Wartime Masterpiece

Dunkirk Review
5.0
out of 5
I walked out of the theater after watching Christopher Nolan's newest film, Dunkirk, and I sat in my car with the keys in the ignition. I didn't start the engine. I just sat in the dark silence and decompressed. My mind was racing, my heart ached, and my blood pressure had to be running high. And still I sat there. For a good 10 minutes. Alone and in the dark. Dunkirk didn't bombard me images of gore and the bloody horrors…  Read More

‘AereA’ Review: Musical Childsplay

out of 5
I love Action RPG dungeon crawlers. I was hooked the first time I defeated the Butcher in the original Diablo. I have since played numerous ARPG over the last 20 years and almost always enjoy “the crawl,” spending hours farming for loot and whatever passes for money in that particular game. When I first saw the whimsical and musical based world of AereA I was instantly drawn to it. Developer Triangle Studios’ design for AereA seemed to meld the gameplay…  Read More
