Rebel Galaxy Outlaw Review

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

In spacefaring sci-fi shows and movies – eg Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica – there are two very different kinds of space combat: the slug-fests where battleships duke it out with massive broadsides, and the fast, twitchy dogfighting of fighters buzzing around them. 2015’s Rebel Galaxy is an excellent RPG built around the former, and now its prequel spin-off, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, is an action game that specializes in the latter. IIt’s a flashy, modern revival of the gameplay style of classics like Wing Commander: Privateer and Freelancer, and it even all but eliminates the most annoying part of dogfighting with a creative and entirely optional piloting assist. The campaign missions are stretched over an open region of space that’s probably two sizes too large, but there’s more than enough going on to make Rebel Galaxy Outlaw a stellar single-player game.

Netflix's Wu Assassins: Season 1 Review

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

This is a mostly spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes of Wu Assassins, which premiered August 8 on Netflix.

Starring renowned martial artist and movie star Iko Uwais (The Raid films, The Night Comes for Us), Vikings' Katheryn Winnick, and Sons of Anarchy's Tommy Flanagan, Netflix's curiously brutal Wu Assassins is almost what would happen if someone rebooted John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China without the Jack Burton character. Or the smirky B-movie charm.

When the fists and feet fly -- and the thrown knives get caught and the fired bullets get dodged -- Wu Assassins is the fierce and formidable fighting series that Marvel's Iron Fist should have been. The skirmishes slyly lean into the supernatural, allowing a food truck chef (Uwais) to become infused with the might of a thousand warrior monks so that he can protect San Francisco's Chinatown from evil elemental warlords. But when the paint dries and all we're left with is the human drama, the series sags and the story sometimes strains to keep us invested.

Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution Review

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

When was the last time you saw Pokemon: The First Movie? If you happened to see it as an adult, you probably won’t find this review of the 3DCG remake of the first Pokemon film all that surprising. If you’re still holding onto the fond memories you had of it as a kid, I’ll admit that I’m a little bit jealous. Taking a step back and viewing this movie through a critical lens helped me appreciate just how far some of the newer Pokemon movies have come in their storytelling. Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution is a near direct recreation of its predecessor. While the new animation style makes action scenes more flashy and there are still some genuinely funny and emotional moments, its story still starts to drag about halfway through and never quite recovers (it’s also a shame that the delightful Pikachu’s Vacation didn’t make the cut for a 3DCG remake).

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

Lefties, this one’s for you! The Corsair M55 RGB Pro Ambidextrous Multi-Grip Gaming Mouse (See it on Amazon) is an inexpensive, wired mouse whose chief attraction is its ability to be used with either hand. And you can switch between left- and right-hand modes on the fly. The M55 RGB Pro won't wow gamers with its basic (read: boring) design, but it serves up a high-DPI sensor for the money along with enough RGB lighting and buttons to pique your interest and keep you gaming.
