Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review
4.2
out of 5
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for the Nintendo 3DS is a remake of a Famicom game originally released in 1992, but you can't really tell, as developer Intelligent Systems has overhauled the entire game, creating a whole new experience. The epic, two-sided tale of Alm and Celica finally hits the west, and the wait has been worth it. Using some of the updates seen in recent games Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia presents this 25-year-old story with…  Read More

‘The Caligula Effect’ Review: Weirdness And Drama In High School

The Caligula Effect Review
3.9
out of 5
High school sucks for many, but in Japan, it must suck even more. So many modern JRPGs deal with high school life (the Persona series is a prime example), and the differences between schooling in the east and west can be jarring. The Caligula Effect, the new game from FuRyu, Atlus, and developer Aquria, has a familiar setting and some familiar tropes, but once you get past that, the weirdness factor takes the game to a whole other level. Plus,…  Read More

3.5
out of 5
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombie Chronicles takes eight of the best Zombies maps from the Treyarch Call of Duty games and collects it into one easy package. This collection gives players a good taste of what the mega-popular Zombies game mode, which has become a COD staple, has to offer. What began as an easter egg in Call of Duty: World at War has now become a mode that gamers expect with each new Call of Duty release. While I particularly…  Read More

‘Life’ 4K Blu-ray Review

Life 4K Blu-ray Review
3.6
out of 5
For Sony Pictures, the meaning of Life is determined by tenaciously throwing massive amounts of money at a B-movie horror flick script. Even under the weight of its often illogical script, Life manages not to flatline in spite of a series of rather idiotic decisions made by supposedly intelligent people. I'm even curious to see where the story might go next; if Life ever did find a way again. The term "life" refers to the historical discovery of an initially microscopic living…  Read More

4.9
out of 5
Lionsgate's John Wick was one of the most surprising action movie hits in recent memory so it's only fitting that John Wick: Chapter 2 carries the torch forward without falling into many sequel pitfalls. A gloriously entertaining sequel deserves and equally stunning 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation and this one packs a punch. The key to John Wick's success was its innovative action sequences and star Keanu Reeves' willingness to do many of the stunts himself. It was a tall order…  Read More
