Much like with Persona 4, Persona 3 got the remastering treatment early this year. Like Persona 4, actual changes made to the game are relatively minimal, as it seems Altus simply wanted to recreate the original Persona 3 experience. While some leniency should and will be given for a game that released seventeen years ago,... Continue Reading →

The mobile game "Retro Bowl" is constantly updating and its developers listen to fan feedback. We've covered the football game many times before -- here's our previous list of suggested improvements. Here's five more ways "Retro Bowl" could be improved.
Recently, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable were remastered in HD for modern consoles. Currently, both games are up for the reasonable price of $19.99. The former being discussed today originally launched in 2008 before the Golden version released four years later. Right away, this game is extremely polarizing. It possesses traits that were...

Fresh off their liberation of a mining planet, the Bad Batch (Dee Bradley Baker) get a tip from Cid (Rhea Perlman) of a crashed ship, offering them a 50 percent cut of its cargo.

B-movies are hard to come by these days. Sure, there is no shortage of low-budget horror films the like Blumhouse produces, but not many films are willing to tout a ridiculous premise that it intends to fully exploit for our entertainment, at least not among wide-release movie theater films. Streaming, boosted by a global pandemic... Continue Reading →

Things aren’t too optimistic this low in the list, but at least they’re slightly better than the bottom of the barrel garbage we had last week. With that, let’s begin this week’s rankings. 100. Memory of the Iron King (Dark Souls 2) The only redeeming factor to this area is that it has an incredible... Continue Reading →

"Ant-Man" has never been one of Marvel's heavy hitters, but Paul Rudd's depiction of the Scott Lang version of the character has gained fan appeal especially in studio's team-up films like "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Endgame." The "Ant-Man" franchise remains to be an anomaly, now that it has completed a trilogy. The first... Continue Reading →
Last year, I started watching “One Piece,” and I started documenting my journey getting through the show on InReview’s TikTok page. You can watch my previous batch of “One Piece” TikToks here. This batch goes through all of the Thriller Bark arc through the start of the The Sabaody Archipelago arc. My overall thoughts on the Sabaody Archipelago... Continue Reading →
From Software has been particularly active since the late 2000s up until now. They started with Demon’s Souls, went through the Dark Souls Trilogy, Bloodborne, then Elden Ring. They also went through a few of them in the process and refurbished them. Today’s piece, as well as pieces in the future complementing this one, will... Continue Reading →
"Star Wars: The Bad Batch" has a habit of giving us some of the most insightful episodes into the world of "Star Wars" and immediately follow it up with an episode where absolutely nothing happens. With a ton happening in last week's special dual-episode drop in which Emperor Palpatine twisted the Imperial Senate into greenlighting... Continue Reading →
Rebecca Heath is one of Australia's newest contribution to the ever-growing list of mystery-thriller writers. "The Summer Party" is Heath's debut novel and I must say she has entered the arena with a bang. The story depicts the events happening in two different timelines -- one in the year 2000 and the other in the... Continue Reading →

The film focuses on Liam (Allan Mustafa), a single dad and recovering heroin addict who must take care of his daughter, Sofia (Savannah Skinner-Henry),... Continue Reading →
