Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) rated The Inpatient in Video Games
Jan 30, 2018
A grim, captivating portrayal of mental decay (4 more)
Bone-chilling soundscape creates an oppressive sense of dread
Expert storytelling leaves its mysteries for you to solve on your own
Voice recognition option adds to the game's immersive qualities
Scares are subtle and don't rely on overused jumpscare tropes
Prequels run the risk of diminishing the magic of the stories they lead into, but The Inpatient is a rare exception that entirely manages to avoid that.
Critic: Justin Clark

Gareth Michael Lewis (6 KP) rated Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4) in Books
Jan 20, 2018
Another great read
Love magic? Love fantasy? Try the Dresden Files.
This novel, the 4th in the series, has Harry Dresden facing new enemies, making allies in the strangest of ways, and generally making himself a pain in the ass to all manner of authority (mortal, magical and faerie).
Without giving too much away, this book introduces some wonderful new characters whom Harry will help, hinder and smack down in all manner of ways.
Worth owning to read and read again.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2171 KP) rated Disney After Dark (The Kingdom Keepers, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Finn is having very strange and vivid dreams that find him in the Magic Kingdom of Disney World. Turns out it’s a side effect of his status as a holographic host. And he and the other hosts must figure out a way to stop an evil that is spreading through the park. I must admit the most characters were rather weak and plot had a couple big holes. But, Disney fanatic that I am, I couldn't put this young adult novel down.

Dana (24 KP) rated Throne of Glass in Books

Oh my god!! If you have not picked this up and you like fantasy novels, do it right now. Stop what you are doing and read this book!!! It is full of badassery, not too much romantic stuff, and magic. In the battle to find out which person will be crowned the King's Champion, lots of mystery and intrigue happens to our main heroine, Celaena Sandorthien. What is even cooler about this, there are pronunciation guides in the back of the book (at least in the paperback edition). I can't wait to start on the next one!!
Erika (17788 KP) rated Cat Quest in Apps
Jul 24, 2018 (Updated Jul 24, 2018)
I was able to purchase this app after winning the Google Play App giveaway here on Smashbomb.
My brother saw this game on his Nintendo Switch a couple of months ago, and since he sent me the name, I'd wanted to download it. Luckily, with the giveaway win, I was able to.
Cat Quest is a fun, cute RPG, where you play as a cat that goes on quests, defeats monsters, and learns magic. It's easy to play, and to level up to get some serious questing done. Overall, I love this game, and will continue playing it every day.

Steph (468 KP) rated The Flight of the Silvers (Silvers, #1) in Books

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The beginning starts with a mystery that leaves you excited to discover what it means. I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied with the solution or that the ending would disappoint me enough that the book wouldn't be enjoyable. I was wrong on all counts. The book delightfully sets up an alternate universe with interesting parallels to our own. The magic system is creative, novel, and well-explained. Finally, the characters are well-rounded, three-dimensional, and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it- couldn't put it down!
Sawyer (231 KP) rated Doctor Who (1996) in Movies
Aug 24, 2018
The doctor getting shot and killed immediately after walking out the TARDIS into gang territory in America is just priceless (1 more)
All the ridiculous extra rooms in the TARDIS like why does the Tardis have a giant ancient dungeon in there
It's a hell of a lot bigger on the inside
Overall the movie is very weak and does a poor job of capturing the magic of Doctor Who and why British audiences love it
But it has enough weirdness and ridiculousness that any Doctor Who fan should watch it

Charley (64 KP) rated Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches #2) in Books

Well I have always had a soft spot for Terry Pratchett book and his stories about the discworld transport you to this amazing place.
He has a dark sense of humour that you can see throughout his books.
Wyrd sisters is one of my favourites of his Books. This is the first in a series of his books about three witches. It's funny right from the start and the complexity of his characters always amaze me.
If you like a book with good characters, funny jokes and a touch of magic then this is the books for you.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Aladdin (2019) in Movies
Jul 3, 2019
In terms of the Disney live-action remakes, Aladdin falls somewhere in the middle. Not nearly as good as The Jungle Book or Christopher Robin, but not nearly as bad as an Alice In Wonderland. An updated story is just enough to not make it a carbon copy, but they did eliminate a lot of the magic from the original in the places that counted most, the music. Its saving grace is Naomi Scott and Will Smith, who jointly bring superb charisma and carry the film to the very last scene.
