Movie Review: PROJECT POWER Starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dominique Fishback
Project Power, directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, dropped this weekend on Netflix. The premise seems to be a new take that pulls on a familiar thread. A drug, called Power, is being distributed throughout New Orleans, giving users a five-minute high where they will develop a special ability – such as super strength, […]
Movie Review: BLOW THE MAN DOWN Starring David Coffin, David Pridemore, Adam Wolf Mayerson
As one of my favorite television shows likes to point out: bad gas travels fast in a small town. And so it is in Easter Cove, the setting for Blow the Man Down. It’s a tiny fishing community in New England that, if you’re old enough to remember, may remind you a bit of the […]

PAX South: THE ARCADE CREW – YOUNG SOULS & KUNAI
While I love huge epic games with realistic graphics, I’ve always had a soft spot for simple adventure and platformer games. Being born in the late 80’s, I was exposed to all of the first gaming systems on the market. My first console was a Sega Genesis, where I was hooked on games like Sonic […]
PAX South 2020: Hands-On With EVERSPACE 2
Everspace 2 is another game that got me really excited for PAX South. The first Everspace slipped past me when it was released, but I am so happy that I discovered and tested the sequel. I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi and starship combat games, and Everspace 2 hit ALL the right buttons. This […]
PAX South: WRATH: AEON OF RUIN Review
The second game we played at the 3D Realms booth was Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, by KillPixel Games. I originally hadn’t planned on testing this out, but I kept catching myself mesmerized by gamers blasting through waves of undead monstrosities. Wrath is a dark-fantasy horror FPS that lives in the same vein as Doom and […]
PAX South 2020: OBEY ME Hands-On Review
Developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios, Obey Me is labeled a cooperative “holy-punk brawler”.
