Retro Review: Rampage (Arcade)
Release Date: 1986 Developer: Bally Midway Manufacturing Co., Inc. Publisher: Bally Midway Manufacturing Co., Inc. Every time Hollywood decides to adapt a video game into a movie, I cringe. The track record for video game movies is littered with horrible adaptations. There are more sincere efforts that failed to strike a chord like Super Mario Bros. and Doom. There’s the Resident Evil series, whic...[Read More]
Netflix: The Punisher Impressions
(Ed. Note: I just have to mention this. Digital Crack writer and podcast bruh Punisher is reviewing the Punisher Marvel Netflix series. I mean, it had to happen, right?) I’ve waited so long for Netflix’s The Punisher to come out. Once the comic book gods answered my prayers I was finally able to see it. And let me tell you, it did not fail my expectations one bit!

Retro Review: House of the Dead (Saturn)
Release Date: March 1998 Developer: Sega AM1 R&D Division Publisher: SEGA of America, Inc. Last year, I decided to do a Halloween-themed Retro Review. I took a look at Castlevania: Symphony of the Night because I love the game. But in a twist, I chose to look at the Japanese SEGA Saturn version. The game was different enough compared to the U.S. PlayStation version that it made it a novel revi...[Read More]
Freakish Season 2 Review
Barrett gets a pass. NOTE: For those who have not seen Season 1 of Freakish, I advise that you stop and either go watch the show or read my review here. There will be spoilers for the first season. Season 2 starts immediately after the ending of Season 1, where the rest of the surviving characters are mourning the death of Natalie. No one has heard from LeShaen anymore either. We see that there ar...[Read More]

Classic game with a couple of flaws Release Date: August 25th, 1997 Developer: Rare, Ltd. Publisher: Nintendo of America, Inc. Nostalgia is a bit of a double-edged sword. I’ve often gone back to play games I remember playing when I was younger and enjoying. Several times, my experience now differs greatly from what I remember. It happened when I replayed Sonic Adventure for a previous Retro Review...[Read More]
