Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC: The Teal Mask Game Review

An intriguing story can't hide how appallingly poor The Teal Mask DLC runs on the Switch system. ― It has been almost a year since the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Baki Hanma Season 1 Anime Series Review

I thought Baki Hanma lacked same surprise and spectacle that most fans have come to expect from the series. And then, in the next episode, Baki kidnaps a legally distinct George W. Bush.

It's dumb, but in a ‘dudes rock’ kind of way that ends up being both a critique and celebration o...
