Odd and more intense than previous books
This third book, again in a different city to the previous ones, is set in central Paris. A group of people have made a life for themselves in the catacombs and tunnels underneath the city, largely safe from the strange monsters and beings that have taken over the city.
Loic, the main PoV character, is a former street child who has quite easily adapted to life under the streets, scavenging for food where he can. The main threat they face is the Impressionists, a race of paint-monsters who roam the streets and tunnels rounding up the people they find.
This book is more focused on people who have made a life for themselves following The Change (still a mystery, but safe to assume that weird things can happen now), rather than those struggling to come to terms with it.
It is quite an exciting tale of rescue, bargaining and trying to evade some very strange, but very Parisian, enemies who are never as they seem.
This book, for once, is fairly self-contained and has an ending and was a good short read.

The new open-world platform really worked for the Zelda series. I love how there is always something more to do (beat all of the shrines, find all of the Korok seeds, beat every monster...). They are also constantly updating the game and adding DLC. (0 more)
The game is very repetitive - same 5 or so types of monsters, the shrines start to feel the same. In sure this is way easier for Nintendo to produce in a shorter time, and it's their first Zelda game like this, so I totally get it. (0 more)

Before there was Toretto, there was Riddick.
One for the old-dark-house/monsters-from-outer-space lovers :)

A passanger ship crash-lands on a supposedly colonised planet. The inhabitants are all mysteriously missing. Turns out there are other inhabitants on the planet, no one knew about.

Ship's passengers find themselves suddenly dependant on the nasty mass-murderer previously chained up in the hold.

Nothing earth-shatteringly original here, but it's good creepy entertainment delivered well.

And Riddicks eyes are waaaayyy cooler than anything F & F served up 😆

My life as a 12 year old
This game was everything for one short summer at the age of 12. Once you have finally set up the pieces (upteen mountains in the middle, forest round the edge and beach after that) you have to spin the wheel to try and get a boat or a dolphin to take your people to safety before the island sinks (which happens one piece at a time) but being careful to avoid the kraken and sea monsters who will sink your boat/eat your people. Endless fun.

The acting, the nonverbal communication (0 more)

STFU

A short review. The jump scares were awesome if terrifying. The monsters or aliens or whatever they were sure sounded a lot like Jurassic Park raptors. John Krasinski looks hella sexy in his Ted Kaczynski beard. The little gal in here did an excellent job with her nonverbal communication. A quiet moody teen? I didn’t know there was such a thing. This movie is worth watching just to get to the last 30 seconds.

Easy and enjoyable but slightly passable
The game is fun and fast but for me doesn't have too much replay value. 4 players go through a bidding process to determine how difficult a dungeon will be and then one player is forced to play through that dungeon with some character stats and items. The 4 characters are ok and the monsters are fine (I do enjoy the art) but it can become a little repetitive. Its a nice little game but it certainly won't be the only game you want to play.
