    Well, it’s here, and as expected, it’s quite something. I’m especially a fan of Ico – I liked Shadow of the Colossus as well, but never finished it – and this so far (about 2-3 hours in) is bringing me back to that original game, feeling like I’m on this journey with a companion I’m…

    I was interested in playing the original Bravely Default game, but never got around to it. I’ve been in an RPG mood of late, and my first instinct was to play that game, but when I checked our company lending library it was already out, and so I decided to go for its sequel, Bravely Second,…

    I was fully expecting to enjoy this – based on how much I like the first game – but what was especially great to see is just how beautiful it looks. The main character especially looks like a playable cartoon, and the movement is a joy to watch. I think what I enjoy seeing the…

    Played this the other day, and wow, even though I was already looking forward to this game, it managed to surpass my expectations. The combat is pleasantly a bit on the Bayonetta side of things (one of my favorite series and character), it has a cool sci-fi setting (which I prefer over the fantasy of…

    Yup, this is far from being a new game – it came out for the 3DS in 2012 – but I found myself in a 3DS playing mood of late, getting back into playing Fire Emblem Awakening (that I had never finished, and decided to start up a new game), and wanting to play something…

    I surprisingly still haven’t played The Witcher III (I’m thinking of getting to it during the holiday break), but I have heard plenty about Gwent, the in-game fully realized card game this is now spinning off into its own game. I was pretty excited to try this – as I’m a longtime Magic: The Gathering…

  • Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

    I was interested by this series when I first heard about it – I like Douglas Adams (although I’ve only read his Hitchhiker’s stuff), and I generally enjoy the stuff that Elijah Wood is in – and so was happy to see it pop up on Netflix (as a Netflix Original here in Canada). I’ve…

  • Reggie Watts: Spatial

    At the extreme opposite end of that Michael Che comedy special is the new Reggie Watts special – called Spatial – also just released on Netflix. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Watts, and know what to expect from him – awkward laughs, weirdness, musical interludes, etc. This is what you get here, but…

    I really like Michael Che – I got to see him perform live last year at the Just for Laughs festival, and of course enjoy him every week on SNL’s “Weekend Update.” I was pretty happy to see a comedy special by him pop up on Netflix last week, and I’m happy to say I…

    This is another of this month’s free games from PlayStation Plus (like Tiny Troopers Joint Ops), and it’s been a pleasant surprise to play it. I knew absolutely nothing about it, and so it came as a nice surprise to see not only a beautiful and colorful game like this, but one that’s fun to…
