Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Cable

It's not every day we get a mother/son combo in a wave of Marvel Legends but here we are with Cable and Jean Grey.  Ok, technically Cable's mother is a clone of Jean Grey but that's just the way the kooky storylines of the X-men work.  I mean Cable really looks like he's probably older than jean anyway, which he probably is since he comes from the future.  The reality is, Cable likely exists in this wave to accompany Deadpool, since Cable and Deadpool are partners from time to time. It's kind of a shame he's not a better Cable,…

Review – Star Wars – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I'm going to cut to the chase here a bit.  I enjoyed it.  I have been more excited for this movie than I am for Episode 8, especially after how patronizingly fanservicy Episode 7 ended up being.  There are some dodgy bits, especially during the middle act, but it's decent overall. What Rogue One does the best, is being a good movie set in the Star Wars Universe.  Ok, sure, that's what it is.  I get that.  What I mean though is, it's not part of the "Main Saga".  It's a side story, like other classics such as The Ewok…

Review – Transformers – Titans Return – Skullcruncher (Skullsmasher)

For the titans Returns line, Hasbro has opted to revisit the Headmasters gimmick of G1.  There are some other nods to the Target Masters and Power Masters, but the actual gimmick is heads that come off and turn into smaller robots that interact with the larger vehicles.  In the original run of Headmasters, there were 7 original toys, Skullcruncher, Mindwipe, Weirdwolf, Chromedome, Hardhead, Highbrow and Brainstorm.  Thankfully, for the updated designs, they dove right in nd gave us all 7, across the first two haves (one figure being a store exclusive).  There are also some other characters who were not…
S.H. Figuarts – Mario

S.H. Figuarts – Mario

Nintendo has long been weirdly stingy with the license for their properties.  Sure, there has always been merchandise for Super Mario Brothers, but only recently have they really opened it up, at least for more toy style merchandise.  They seemed to have opened the flood gates too, between the Amiibo figurines, and the World of Nintendo toy line.  There is also a line put out by Bandai under their S.H. Figuarts lineup. World of Nintendo is alright, but if you want the "Cadillac level" of figure, you're going to want to spring for the Figuarts Mario. Figuarts Mario is a…

Review – Shadow Complex (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

2009, 2015 - Chair - 1 Player The Good Metroidvania games are pretty much awesome by default. Interesting use of 2D and 3D Fun gameplay and puzzles The Bad Not a lot of enemy variety. Controls can be frustrating at times Bosses are kind of a joke tl;dr Review I, like many others I gather, often have a pile of games from bundles that never end up getting played.  Recently Shadow Complex appeared in a Humble Bundle and came recommended, so I opted to actually give it a shot.  I was really surprised just how good it ended up being.…
