When Roadwarden first released on PC back in 2022, it quietly earned a reputation as one of the most unique dark fantasy RPGs in years. Now, with its launch on the Nintendo Switch (August 25th, 2025), the illustrated text-based adventure makes its way to handheld screens. Having spent time with both versions, I can confidently say that the Switch release retains everything that made the original such a standout — though it does come with a few quirks. A Different Kind of Hero At its heart, Roadwarden asks you to step into the worn boots of a lone warden —…

Glory or Damnation? Him (2025) sets up a bold concept: a young star quarterback, Cameron Cade, gets attacked by a deranged fan and loses his shot at the NFL. Then he’s miraculously recruited by Isaiah White, a football legend, to train at a secret desert compound. Sounds like the start of an intense, psychological sports-horror hybrid, right? But sadly, that promise quickly deflates. What could have been a unique fusion of cult horror and gridiron glory becomes a confused, shallow mess. Where Are We Going? Justin Tipping directs a film that feels like a two-hour trailer. The first act drags…

Welcome to the Death March Lottery The Long Walk (2025) is a haunting adaptation of Stephen King’s early dystopian novella, finally brought to the screen by director Francis Lawrence. If you’ve never read the book, go in blind. That’s the best way to experience the movie’s slow-burning tension, emotional gut punches, and existential horror. The premise? Fifty teenage boys are chosen by lottery to compete in a high-stakes walking contest. Fall below 3 mph? You get shot. The last one standing wins anything he wants. One Long Walk, No Finish Line This is not an action film. It’s a psychological…

The annual arrival of a new NBA 2K game always brings a mixture of hype, skepticism, and cautious optimism. NBA 2K26, developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K, lands with a promise of hyper-realism through its upgraded ProPLAY™ technology, smoother controls, and a revamped suite of game modes ranging from MyCAREER to MyTEAM and MyNBA. But the question lingers—does this year’s entry finally elevate the franchise, or are we looking at another iteration of flashy trailers with frustrating follow-through? The answer, as is often the case with this series, depends on what kind of player you are and how…

Set in 1986, The Conjuring: Last Rites follows Ed and Lorraine Warren as they investigate what’s being called their final and most dangerous case. This time, they’re called to Pennsylvania, where a cursed mirror is terrorizing the Smurl family. The film leans hard on “final chapter” energy, trying to wrap up the Warrens’ story with emotional arcs, legacy-building, and the symbolic passing of the torch to their daughter, Judy. Unfortunately, what should’ve been an…

Toxic Delays & Indie Vibes The Toxic Avenger (2025) isn’t actually a 2025 movie—it was made in 2023 but spent two years in distribution hell. Why? Because Lionsgate reportedly thought it was unreleasable. Enter Cineverse, the same indie distributor that got Terrifier in theaters. They finally launched it with limited showings in late-night slots, even in Austin, TX (the supposed debut city). So yes, the film arrives with a ton of baggage—but is it worth the wait? A Slow Burn into a Troma Bloodbath The first half is rough. Like, almost walk out rough. The comedy doesn’t land. The characters…
