Game & Watch Super Mario Bros Review

40 years after it was first introduced, Nintendo’s vintage line of Game & Watch handhelds has come full circle in honor of Mario’s 35th birthday. And what better way to celebrate such a special occasion than with the game that practically started it all? It’s true that 1985’s Super Mario Bros. for the NES has been released countless times over on various platforms through the decades, but it’s been expertly rendered again here in this neat and nostalgia-fueled package. Now lovingly brought to life on a crisp 2.36-inch, LCD color screen, the aptly named Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.…

‘If you are the big tree, we are the small axe’ Made famous by Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1973 song ‘Small Axe’, that’s the traditional proverb behind the title for a five-film series by Oscar-winning British director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Shame, Hunger).

Watch Dogs: Legion Review

Watch Dogs: Legion’s hook is the ability to recruit and play as any character in London, but this new feature is really more representative of a series in the midst of an identity crisis. Legion opens with Dalton Wolfe, an operative from DedSec, the hacker group featured in the previous two games, dispatched beneath the Houses of Parliament to defuse bombs set up by the rival hacker group Zero Day. (Apparently every story involving terrorists and London needs to reference the Gunpowder Plot in some way.) Wolfe succeeds in saving Parliament, but loses his life in the process while failing…

Best Horror Anime To Watch on Crunchyroll

One of the best things about October is how every content provider gets infected with Halloween madness and succumbs to horror-centric programming. Some networks even curate a full 31 days of scary content to prove just how gung ho they are about this spooky holiday. At this point you’ve likely already made a checklist for all of the big horror films that are on the horizon and all of the older classics that you need to catch up on. However, if you’re still starved for even more horror-based content, then look no further than Crunchyroll and their catalogue of frightening…

The Watch Trailer: A Punk Rock Take on Discworld

Make no mistake: The Watch is inspired by Terry Pratchett’s Discworld offshoot series, The City Watch, but the BBC America series is very much its own animal, much the way Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency took its own direction from Douglas Adams’ novel on the same network. However, if the trailer coming out of New York Comic-Con’s virtual panel is any indication, there’s plenty of chaotic fun to be had in this version of the story. The eight episodes of The Watch‘s inaugural season will follow recognizable characters such as City Watch Captain Sam Vimes (Richard Dormer), the last scion…
