Donkey Kong Bananza Game Review
There is no such thing as a perfect work of art, but Donkey Kong Bananza gets about as close to perfection as possible.
― One of the first video games I can remember playing as a young tyke was my dad's copy of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest on the Super Nintendo. When I was old enough to get a Game Boy Pocket of my own, one of the first purchases ever made with my allowance was a copy of ...

I Left My A-Rank Party Season 1 Anime Review
This is a show where the first half definitely stands out more to me because of its found family theme and the fact that the character dynamics were put more front and center. But unfortunately, we began to lose steam by the second half.
― I will admit, sometimes I'll enjoy a good isekai or generic fantasy story because I need something to play in the background while I'm doing other work. My experie...

Shadow Labyrinth Game Review
Has PAC-MAN come a long way since Symphony of the Night? I’m not sure.
― As 2024 came to a close, Prime Video's Secret Level threw viewers for a loop with Circle—a strangely dark reimagining of video game forefather, PAC-MAN. Not long after, Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed that the animated short was a stealth teaser for an upcoming Search Action title, Shadow Labyrinth. Since the announcement, ...

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 Game Review
This game drags its feet so hard you would think it had 2 ton weights strapped to them.
― Man, I was so excited when this game started up because it really just throws you right into the swing of things. There's no extended prologue or even much of a summary. One of the first screens you see once you boot up this game for the first time is you're thrown into a fight with a simple command list in the ...

Maebashi Witches Anime Series Review
The real secret sauce of Maebashi Witches is that it fearlessly tackles thorny topics with an uncommon degree of sensitivity.
― Maebashi Witches is a “just trust me” anime. The premiere is much clumsier than I would like, and to be frank with you, I bounced off it when I first watched it. Among the chaotic mélange of a motormouth heroine, wisecracking mascot, local Maebashi landmarks, bizarre aesthet...
