Prison Break Premiere Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to prison, FOX is unleashing a new season of Prison Break this Tuesday, eight years after the series finale and subsequent TV-Movie wrap-up. And while Wentworth Miller’s Michael Scofield inconveniently passed away in The Final Break, the new season wastes little time telling us that he’s still alive. How and why remains to be seen, but this premiere episode is long on setup and short on answers.

If you watched Prison Break from the very beginning, there are definitely some callbacks to the early days. That means you can look forward to some murderous secret agents and conspiracies that don’t make much sense. But that’s easier to deal with than the characters who barely resemble their previous selves. Lincoln Burrows and Sara Tancredi-Scofield are largely spared from wholesale changes, but the alterations to T-Bag and C-Note are so numerous that they’re almost completely different people. C-Note’s new life seems to have been chosen only so that he would be in a position to help Lincoln. However, C-Note never had much of an emotional connection to either brother, so it doesn’t feel like a natural choice for him to get so involved with this.

Rick and Morty: Season 3 Premiere Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Who says nothing good ever comes from April Fool's Day? For those who missed it yesterday, Adult Swim's streaming website began airing the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty in a continuous loop for several hours. The rest of the season won't debut until this summer, but it was certainly a welcome surprise, and a nice way to catch up with the Sanchez family after a prolonged absence.

As with the Season 2 premiere, "The Rickshank Redemption" picked up more or less directly where the previous episode left off. Rick turned himself into the Federation to spare his family a life as interstellar fugitives. With Rick in custody and the Sanchez family now back on Federation-occupied Earth, things were looking especially bleak for our heroes. And true to their usual form, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon managed to craft a conflict that was hilarious, darkly poignant and completely unlike anything fans were expecting. Right down to the oddball manner in which this episode premiered, "The Rickshaw Redemption" was all about defying expectations.

My Hero Academia Season 2 Premiere Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

Picking up right after My Hero Academia's great Season 1 finale, "That's the Idea, Ochaco" resumes Deku's story with a fairly slow-paced episode, recapping the events of the thirteen episodes prior and setting the stage for what promises to be an intense second season as Deku and his classmates head into U.A. High School's annual Sports Festival.

For those who need a refresher on what transpired in Season 1, a recap episode titled "Hero Notebook" released alongside My Hero Academia's fourteenth episode, providing an efficient and straightforward retelling of Deku's Quirkless childhood, meeting All Might, and his early adventures at U.A. High. As such, I found it a bit odd that a large portion of the first half of "That's the Idea, Ochaco" was primarily spent treading over the same familiar ground.

Grimm: "The End" Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

After six seasons and 123 episodes, Grimm brought everything to a close in "The End," a satisfying series finale that wrapped everything up in an tidy bow and left fans on the right note.

Full spoilers for "The End" continue below.

After the brutal end to last week's episode, which saw Wu and Hank both killed by the Zerstörer, things weren't looking too great for the Scooby Squad. And though everyone ended up getting a happy ending, it was a smart choice to have Nick lose everything over the course of this episode. In his showdown with the Zerstörer, each of Nick's allies were picked off one by one (though we'll ignore how the Zerstörer magically disappeared after several encounters to allow Nick to mourn in peace).
