Review – Final Fantasy X (PS2, PS3, PS4, PC)

PS2 – 1 Player Don’t ask me why it says “X” instead of “10” up there. I guess its just to keep with the idea that all FF games can be abreviated with three letters. Maybe people are just too lazy to put the 0 on the end. Actually it’s probably because everyone knows any name with an “X” on the end is automatically cool. Think about it, we have Malcom X, Jason X, Samurai X, Xyxex, the list goes on. This is one game though that is slick even without the tag-on “Cool X”. Before we get started with…

Review – Final Fantasy IX (PS1)

It’s amazing how something so good (FF8) can be followed by something so bad. Rumor has it, people complained about FF8 a lot.

Before playing this game, as far as I could tell from what others were saying ti…

Review – Movie – Monster Trucks

So, I'm kind of a stupid sucker for this sort of thing. Kind of dumb movies based on dumb concepts. Monster Trucks really feels like one of those, in a meeting, guy says "What about, trucks, possessed by MONSTERS. And we could call it.... MONSTER TRUCKS. This is a Nickelodeon film and rated PG, so it's pretty sanitary in it's story and presentation. You're not going to get much more than what you might expect. There's quite a few faces that you'll recognize in here as well, though the stars are Lucas Till, from MacGuyver as "Handsome outcast loser kid"…

Review – Pokemon Magikarp Jump (Android, iOS)

The Good Charming visuals and art work Magikarp Magikarp The Bad Very repetitive game play Weird overpriced Microtransaction Model Shallow Gameplay In Depth Pokemon Go isn't the only mobile Pokemon Experience available on mobile, Pokemon Magikarp Jump is a much more traditional mobile game with all of the usual caveats that come along with that.  At it's core, Magikarp Jump is just your traditional old school Tomagotchi only with Pokemon.  You fish up a Magikarp, you feed it food and train it, and then take it off to compete in a Jumping contest against AI Magikarp opponents.  That's 100% of…
