Boruto Episode 8 Review

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

“The comet has entered the constellation. The destiny of the stars, the time for harvest is near. And just as I thought the key to it all… is him.”

This week’s episode of Boruto opens with these ominous words, but perhaps more ominous is the character who speaks them: Toneri Otsutsuki, the main antagonist of the Naruto movie “The Last”. His sudden appearance raises several questions for this episode, as well as the series. Is Toneri the perpetrator of the possessions? Or a bystander hoping to intervene for the greater good? The show isn’t ready to answer that question just yet, but it does seem to finally be laying the groundwork for Boruto to learn about his mysterious powers, and whatever evil they are trying to reveal to him.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Season 3 Review

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

Note: this is a mostly spoiler-free review of the third season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is available to stream now on Netflix.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt really came into its own in Season 2. As the first season specifically designed for streaming rather than broadcast TV (given Season 1 was originally meant to air on NBC), the show was free to take more risks and let the run-time play out a bit longer. The result was a hilarious season that took more risks and didn't shy away from the darker side of Kimmy's post-bunker life. That's why it's so bizarre to see Season 3 play it safe. Much of what makes the show work is still plainly apparent this year. But that's the problem, really. We're getting more of the same in Season 3, and little sign that the show is still willing to venture outside its comfort zone.

Perception Review

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

Perception invokes the most basic human phobia - a fear of the dark - by placing you in the shoes of Cassie, a blind woman who navigates by means of echolocation. It gives her - and you - only momentary glimpses of her surroundings, forcing you piece together room layouts, landmarks, and threats in the mere seconds before the shadows rush back in. It’s emblematic of Perception’s problems, then, that my main emotion as I sat in the dark wasn’t fear, but irritation.

The smart-sounding, high-concept set-up is ultimately its downfall, but along the way it bears some fruit. We’re so accustomed to being shown exactly where we are and where to go in games that to be left in darkness is actually refreshing at first. In the opening moments, exploring the purportedly abandoned New England house Cassie finds herself in is unnerving, opaque, and unpredictable. Until 10 minutes in, when you realise that the next four hours will amount to a bland adventure game with a veneer of horror and an increasingly awkward central gimmick.

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

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

The SteelSeries Arctis 7 (See it on Amazon) is a wireless gaming headset that sits on the the top perch of the company’s Arctis line of headsets. It has an MSRP of $149.99 and features lag-free wireless audio, virtual 7.1 surround sound, and a versatile modular design that lets you use it with PCs, Macs, gaming consoles, VR, and even mobile devices.

Right out of the box, I liked the look of the Arctis 7. I’m a gamer of a certain age and can appreciate the "mature" look of the headset. It eschews cheap attractions such angular plastic molding, aggressive logos, and a garish color scheme. SteelSeries offers the Arctis 7 in either black or white, and both designs are simple and understated. The black version I received for review features matte black surfaces with a silver SteelSeries logo printed on the outside of each earcup. The cloth, "ski-goggle" headband features a gray-and-black pattern; SteelSeries sells more colorful replacement bands for a reasonable $14.99 each if you want to customize your look.
