While watching Holmes& Watson, I was trying to come up with a suitable analogy to best describe this movie; what’s one thing that has such immense talent surrounding it, was very fun to produce and create, but turned out to be an impressive waste of everyone’s time and a steaming pile of dog turd? I […]

PES 2019
During the pre-match press conference, the manager takes some questions from the journalists. Reporter A: There’s been some backlash over the past years, for the seeming disinterest from the club’s point of view, on how the team’s visuals are not up to par with the rest of the football world; how do you answer to […]
Heavy spoilers for Split and some light spoilers for Glass When Split released in 2016, a lot of fans and critics alike, hailed it as the comeback of M. Night Shyamalan, and in many ways it was; it was a well-made, well-written, well-acted, and well-shot psychological drama about dealing with abuse, as well as having […]

One of my most bitter disappointments of 2018 was not owning a PS4; not because I couldn’t play God Of War or Spiderman (although those are pretty rad games I would play had I owned the console), but because I couldn’t play Tetris Effect when it launched exclusively on PS4. It will probably come out […]
If I were to sum up Aquaman with one word, it would be “mediocre”; not because it’s a mediocre movie, but it is a movie that is 20 years late. Similar to Shane Black’s 2018 The Predator, it is a 90s property but where Black wanted to give us the most 90s action movie not […]

Found a few resources on the beach and then climbed this hill; found this weird lantern that uses unnatural energy orbs and open up pathways, while lighting my way, as I descent further and further into this cave…found a way back to the beach so I’m going to […]
As 2018 was—thankfully—reaching its end, Netflix decided that it was going to give people a farewell gift: A new Black Mirror standalone movie/interactive experience. As a fan of the series and video games, I could not be more excited, and having seen/played through it twice, I am glad this experiment was made and released for […]
2018 has been a year! We’ve been bombarded by sad stuff in most aspects of life; political, social, personal, economical, etc. While reality may not have been so great lately, games have always helped us escape that reality and deal with it a little bit better. This year, games thankfully have kept the great precedent […]
I was contemplating whether I should talk about ROTOD before next week’s end of the year article; I have not finished ROTOD yet, and there’s a chance I won’t finish it before that article, yet it is one of my favorite games of the year. So, I wrote an article for GRIS instead and was […]
The O.D. on Games: GRIS
For the last O.D. of the year, ROW checks out one of the standout games of the year for him: GRIS, from newly formed NOMADA studio, published by Devolver Digital. GRIS is just one of those games. An artistic vision that some people will just love its particular art style, story, and mechanics, which will […]
