The Order: 1886 was a mediocre TPS. Your character felt rather slow and a bit clunky to control, the weapons, while some of them were neat, didn't get all that much use beyond the basic guns, and the boss fights were not very exciting. However, the world created for the game was exquisite. I...

That's only because a lot of introverts are not able to indulge in the solitude they desire as much as they need to really recharge their batteries. There's always school or work, family or social obligations, etc. The most alone time I get these days is after the kids are in bed and if my...

I'm probably going to be unpopular for this one, but I'd like to see a sequel to The Order: 1886. Not for the gameplay, by any means, as it was a very generic TPS mechanically. However, the world invented for the game was fantastic! And of course the graphics were superb. Give me a GOOD game set...

That's funny, I just finished up Persona 5 a few days ago myself. I really enjoyed the game as a whole, didn't really notice the dragging on element, but then I have been playing it off and on since the beginning of February (I don't get a lot of gaming time these days), so I likely just forgot...

I find Shawshank to be the best of these three films and one I can re-watch any time. Gump is a marvelous film, but after seeing it a couple of times, I feel it loses a lot of its impact. And honestly, I've never been much of a Tarantino fan, so while I've seen Pulp and enjoyed it a bit, I have...

Of course it's a publicity stunt. Doesn't change the fact that I saw it reported on the news that the B was for burgers. http://www.businessinsider.com/ihop-ihob-promotes-burgers-review-2018-6 Unless you are objecting to my description of "over their breakfast options" which I will grant...

Amazingly, the official meaning of the B is Burgers. They're trying to promote their burgers now, over their breakfast options. SMH.

Along with Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven, there's also Yojimbo adapted into A Fistful of Dollars and (though not as good) Last Man Standing. Haven't seen all of the last one but I swear there are numerous bits of AFoD that are almost identical to Yojimbo as far as cinematography goes. Some...

I've seen Deadpool 2 twice now and loved it both times. I'm only disappointed I couldn't find my Deadpool disc to watch the original movie before seeing it (moved recently and stuff is still all over the place). For me, the jokes always landed, the action was great, and I felt that this movie...

I can't remember something I've never experienced! The second film was my end of the line for this franchise. :P

Again, this is nonsense. Star Wars was a sensation when it first released and continued to be until the mid to late 80's. Everyone knew of it, it was a pop culture phenomenon. Merchandise was everywhere, there were comics, games, books, clothes, everything. It was on the covers of major...

What rock were you living under? Seriously? Star Wars novels were in every bookstore starting with Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy in 1991. Starting with Dark Empire, new comics were available constantly in comic book stores, even reissuing the old Marvel series. The Decipher CCG was released and that...

It's nice to see the original vehicle designs rather than what was done to them in the earlier films. Having this out of Bay's hands can only be a good thing, as I completely disagree with PsychedelicDiamond's opinion on the Bay films. I'll need to see more and hear some reviews, though, before...

I saw Solo last week and I thought it was pretty good! It's not like Academy Award winning material, but it was two hours of a fun time. I felt the cast all did a good job with their characters, and while not in any way a young Harrison Ford, I felt Ehrenreich was able to capture the character...

It all depends on the context:
