games

This game will cling to the darkest corners of my nightmares for a very long time to come. ― I have been a Silent Hill fan all of my life, and I have just recently completed my project of replaying and recording every single game in the franchise (well, except for Silent Hill: Book of Memories, since my PlayStation Vita broke years ago). That said, for as much as I absolutely adore Bloober Team's re...

A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 Anime Series Review

Oct 13, 12:00

11 comments

anime

It’s a colorful, comforting anime that requires minimal brain power to consume. ― For me, A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 is like “Sunk Cost Fallacy: The Anime.” I enjoyed the far-fetched and dumb, but sweet, twenty-four-episode first season, and found myself sleepwalking into the second out of a misplaced sense of duty. Like many long-running anime romcoms, the “plot progression,” if one could even des...

games

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is hands-down the best racing game in the entire franchise. ― Sonic's racing game history has been very mixed over the years, and that's being generous. You would think that for a franchise that focuses on a character that's faster than the average mascot platform, we would have better and more beloved racing games throughout the past couple of decades. I have not played ever...

This continuation of Netflix's live-action version of Haro Aso's death game manga stretches the patience more than the previous seasons, but it's still ultimately worthwhile. ― The third live-action season of Alice in Borderland, based on the death game manga by Haro Aso, drops onto Netflix with big disadvantages.
