Day of the Tentacle Remastered
This is one of those classic games that I absolutely adored when I played it back in the day, and playing the new Remastered edition is my first revisit since then (theyāve already announced a remaster of Full Throttle, which is another classic LucasArts adventure game I love, but that one I re-played a few…

Shutshimi
Another game from this monthās PlayStation Plus lineup that I was quite looking forward to playing is Shutshimi – like I said, I really like 2D shooters. Iāve just played a bit of it, and right now Iām not sure if Iām missing something, but Iām a bit underwhelmed. Itās a neat idea, to play…

Dead Star
This is one of the offerings from this monthās PlayStation Plus lineup, and one that I was quite looking forward to playing, as its the first original IP from Armature (born out of a few developers who worked on Metroid Prime leaving Retro Studios). After reading about it, I figured it would be right up…

Koe no Katachi
After devouring the Ajin manga (Iām all caught up and waiting for new chapters), Iām now on to something completely different, and that I wouldnāt have thought Iād enjoy reading (it was recommended by the same friend who suggested I check outĀ Ajin). Koe no KatachiĀ (A Silent Voice, in English) is basically a junior high romance,…

Wolf Children
I donāt even know where to start when describing how much I loved this movie. As I mentioned the other day, Iām going through Mamoru Hosodaās movies (Iād only previously seen Summer Wars), and this, well, this is just one of the best animated films Iāve ever seen. I canāt say that the quality of…

Broforce
Even though Iāve had this game for a month – it was part of the March lineup of free games through PlayStation Plus – I still didnāt get around to playing it until tonight. Part of it was that the name really turned me off, and also that it had been selected to join the…

Miitomo
A lot of people are playing with this right now (it came out outside of Japan on Thursday), and youāre hearing a lot ofĀ āwhatās the point here,ā and the thing is that there isnāt one, really. Itās just a way to spend some time looking at funny things, with a light level of interaction (answering…

Insidious: Chapter 2
When I started watching this, I realized that I couldnāt really remember what had happened in the first one, but I did remember liking it. This though, it just tries too hard to establish some sort of āworldā for the franchise, focusing too much on powers and the otherworld, instead of on creepiness and scares.…

The Visit
I really do want Shyamalan to make a good movie again, and The Visit does have some nice creepy moments, but alas it still falls short overall. The biggest annoyance for me was the setup of found footage (the daughter is making a documentary about whatās happening) which just feels so clichĆ© and uninteresting these…

Paragon
I canāt say that Iām hugely into MOBAs – Iāve barely tried League of Legends and DOTA 2 because they didnāt play great on my MacBook Air, although I should maybe try again on my current MacBook Pro – but I do like to dabble in the ones that come out on console. In the…
