‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ Episode 3: “A Random Killing”

This episode is very well done and is engaging the whole time with plenty of explanation and plot development happening. Andrew’s character is unraveling, and we are left with this question of whether he will be caught or not. The background on Lee and Marilyn is done well, using flashbacks. It’s a darker episode, probably the darkest so far. It’s very moving and worth the watch.

‘Lost Sphear’ is a quest that uses fond memories to make new ones

Lost Sphear is a nostalgic callback to the “golden days” of JRPGs that actually succeeds in bringing back the good times while not using them as a crutch. While the music and visuals may leave a bit to be desired, the story and gameplay perfectly emulate the style of Super Nintendo RPGs. While the $50 price point is probably too steep for a game like this, it’s easily one of the best JRPGs to be released, especially on PC. While veterans may not find anything new, it’ll still give enough good feelings and interesting fights to be worth a purchase.

Mike Shinoda’s first solo EP is an emotional and personal roller coaster

Post Traumatic is not a bad EP for what it is. It isn’t supposed to be some debut record, nor is it supposed to be the start of a new brand. Its only purpose is to try and give Shinoda, as well as the fans, some form of closure. While instrumentally it can be lacking in the beginning, lyrically it’s outstanding and doesn’t hold back from being honest and personal.
