Dugout Chatter: It should have been the Saints

By Zach Piatt / February 5, 2019

I watched this year’s Super Bowl. I saw New England’s defense dominate the entirety of the game. I saw Julian Edelman become the only bright spot in either offense. I saw the horrible halftime show. I saw Los Angeles punt on nine of its 12 possessions. I saw Bill Belichick and Tom Brady win their sixth ring together. What I didn’t see was the team that most deserved to be playing on the NFL’s biggest stage: the New Orleans Saints.

For the record, ‘Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes’ deserves a fast forward

By Sydney Norman / February 1, 2019

Using few relevant people in interviews and minimal recordings of Bundy  talking, 'Conversations with a Killer' was dull, with over-shared  information that had very little substance. Aside from interviews with a  survivor of Bundy and his mother, Louise, another watch is out of the  question.

REVIEW: ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo’ Episode 15: “The Grateful Dead, Part 1”

By Katherine Simon / January 31, 2019

 “The Grateful Dead, Part 1” is an episode that begins and ends on a  solid note, but really meanders during the middle act. While the Jojo  staff did an excellent job making Grateful Dead a horrifying Stand and  giving both Mista and Bucciarati some time to shine, there’s so little  going on throughout a lot of the episode that it hurts the episode’s  entertainment value.

‘The Raven: Remastered’ is an intriguing, albeit flawed, murder-mystery

By Katherine Simon / January 30, 2019

As a narrative experience, 'The Raven: Remastered' is an excellent point-and-click adventure game that’s bound to intrigue players with its gripping plot and colorful cast of characters. As an actual game, however, it’s hard not to point someone towards a let’s play.

‘YIIK: A Postmodern RPG’ is a captivating, heartfelt trainwreck

By Tanner Kinney / January 28, 2019

 ‘YIIK: A Postmodern RPG’ offers one of the most unique and personal  experiences I’ve ever played. It’s clear that so much heart and  personality went into all parts of this game. But that doesn’t excuse  the tone-deaf writing, slow combat, and the overall jank feeling that  permeates throughout the game.

‘Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition’ is a great ‘Tales’ game, but feels somewhat dated

The game is great to revisit, but it’s not worth the premium price of entry, even with the added content. Nostalgia aside, ‘Vesperia’ just ends up being just another ‘Tales’ game.

REVIEW: ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo’ Episode 14: “Express Train To Florence”

By Allyson McClain / January 24, 2019

“Express Train To Florence” was a slower episode meant to build up to a fight between Mista and Prosciutto, but one that seems rather dull in comparison to what will be the actual match. It’s a solid episode, but not very well directed for the viewer’s enjoyment.
