Ready to have a headache?
I put this on a similar level to portal when it comes to puzzles, although this doesn't have much of a solid story line. You can speedrun through this game in under an hour, or spend time finishing all the puzzles over a longer period.

Gripping from start to finish
I was absolutely hooked by this psychological thriller. A lot of twists and turns, you delve into the mind of an alcoholic, and even feel like you experience the same nerve wracking incidents in which nothing is fluid. The characters were believable, with both good and bad sides highlighted. Nothing is what it seems. A well-constructed book.

This installment of the Dexter series was a disappointment. It veered off the tried & true Dexter story line into one of ancient gods. Really!? It took me a lot longer to slog through, but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from continuing with the series. Here's to hoping Linsey has something better up his sleeve for the next book.

Pretty Decent Movie
Overall, I think this was a good start to the Wonder Woman franchise. Although I think the movie ran a bit too long and they could have cut a lot of it out to make it about 30 minutes shorter and it wouldn't have affected things at all. Anyway, I look forward to the sequel.

Morrowind adds a lot of good content to the Elder Scrolls Online library, with the fresh new look of Vvardenfell staring at the center of a great expansion. The storytelling and writing are taken to new heights
Critic- Joseph Bradford
Original Score: 88 out of 100

Brilliant & brutal
A great story with a great cast. Christoph Waltz is one of my favourite actors at present and is excellent here. The story is engrossing although some scenes are very graphic with a lot of violence, what else from a Tarantino film. One of the best Westerns for a long while.

Very slow paced (0 more)
What should have been a very interesting story on a historical figure becomes quite a slow and boring story. A lot of it is folktale but it centres on the story of a Countess who liked to bathe in blood to keep her youthful looks. She might have been responsible for the disappearance of hundreds of young women.

A dark novel of love and revenge from the 1950's
An easy read that has you smiling one minute and frowning the next. Capturing the small town mentality from that era. Many personalities, a lot that would not easily nbe accepted. The child who is shunned and sent away has returned to ger her revenge on a vengeful town.

I like this game, but I feel like it depends on what roles you have when you are playing. There always seems to be a lot of "get all these things to one person so they can cure everything" and it is really mostly one person doing the work. As a cooperative game, I think this falls a little short in this respect.

Our favorite co-op board game! It's everyone versus the disease. What helps, too, is that the difficulty and characters can be changed to create a unique experience every game. Although I have not yet tested this game with children, every adult I've played with loves it!

Moderate cooperative game, providing great opportunities for each player to have a hero moment each game.

Soooo cringey!
I mean the show is hilarious and I like it be how light hearted it is. Rebecca is basically a stalker, but by telling it from her point of view it's so comical. I love that it's so musical, I probably wouldn't watch it otherwise. It makes me cringe a lot, but I can't not watch.
