REVIEWS

Games both new and old, judged by the only question that matters:

Do they deserve a place on the shelf?

  • God for the Godless: What Place Does Religious Music Have Today?

    Drawn to gospel without believing in God, I explored three spiritual albums from Tyler Childers, Johnny Cash, and B.B. King. What I found wasn’t faith—but it might have been something holier.

  • Alien – In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream

    Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) fuses horror and sci-fi into a slow-burn nightmare of isolation, capitalism, and survival. With unforgettable design, iconic performances, and dread that seeps into your bones, it remains one of the greatest horror films ever made.

  • The Thing – Paranoia in the Ice

    John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) blends horror and sci-fi into a paranoia-driven masterpiece. With its unforgettable practical effects, tense score, and themes of isolation, it remains one of the genre’s most chilling films.

  • Doom: The Dark Ages – Less Speed, More Steel

    Doom: The Dark Ages – Less Speed, More Steel

  • Dark Souls (Day 5) – The Actual Boss of Dark Souls

    Dark Souls (Day 5) – The Actual Boss of Dark Souls

    Gravity proves to be the true enemy as Meep descends into the Catacombs, Tomb of the Giants, and beyond. Pinwheel, Nito, the Four Kings, Seath, and even Dark Sun Gwyndolin fall in one packed session. It’s brutal, hilarious, and full of questionable life choices.
