Take "Last Action Hero," "Ready Player One," and "The LEGO Movie" and put them in a blockbuster blender and you get this hilarious, charming, clever, and action-packed flick that makes excellent use of charming leading man Ryan Reynolds. Inside an open-world "Grand Theft Auto"-inspired ...
Perhaps one of Elden Ring's greatest assets as an open world is the air of mystery that shrouds almost everything in it. Good open world games thrive on their power to make you wonder 'what's over there?', and all too often repeating mechanics like towers to climb and enemy bases to...
With these gloves on, I can do tasks that require near surgical precision without any problems at all. These are also affordable, which is always a good thing because mechanics like yourself go through a lot of these gloves every year. It is nice to know that these gloves just cost around...
As your perceptions warp and reality cracks around you, Signalis becomes survival horror, using the genre's oppressive mechanics to simulate the oppressive tyranny of your society. Even the strict inventory limit is based on a rule that limits Replikas' possessions. A homage to Silent Hill told...

the Ghostbusters have to bring the Statue of Liberty to life on New Year’s Eve and march it into battle while playing “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher.” It’s all so conceptually deranged thatGhostbusters IImight as well be an underground movie. (Honestly, all the terrib...
Mechanics like flashback anddisturbthat allow a card to be played from the graveyard mitigate the effect of discard, but don’t circumvent it entirely. HELLBENT! You can’t discard if you have no cards in your hand. Okay so this is a bit extreme, but it works. ...
