At Pax Unplugged‘s annual board game event, cards were drawn, points were exchanged, and our mana was replenished for our adventure. This event celebrated classic gaming creativity, games that require more physical involvement, and social interactions that can’t exactly be replicated from a screen. Whether played with cards, miniatures, or with a creative dungeon master, […]

As 2024 is coming to a close, we played the latest releases of December to keep us gaming into the New Year. We returned to Antarctica to survive against terror in The Thing: Remastered. Crashed and bashed our way through whacky levels in Antonblast. Became a space ace frog pilot in Entropy Survivors. And we explored virtual spaces in Exercise Your Demons and the House of Da Vinci VR. Read our reviews for this month of the Gamebox 2.0. 

With its R rating, Kraven the Hunter attempts to carve out a niche in Sony’s Marvel Universe, delivering a few solid and cool kills. However, despite these moments, the film ultimately falls flat, lacking the hilariously terrible tone of Madame Web or the bat-shit insanity of the Venom trilogy. The plot of “Kraven the Hunter” […]

It’s been 24 years, but Ridley Scott finally took us back into the Colosseum for Gladiator II. While it lacks compared to its 2000 predecessor, it also shares many of its strengths. Paul Mescal plays the grown Lucius Verus Aurelius, who was forced to flee Rome after the events of Gladiator. Finding a new life […]

We’re thankful to be able to check out several new games this month in the latest Gamebox 2.0.  We experienced realistic combat in Six Days in Fallujah, went old-school with the arcadey Slam & Roll, tried to build a kingdom in Monarchy, and played through the history of Tetris in Tetris Forever.  Check out our thoughts and reviews this month down below.

Everything Action was back in Syracuse, NY, for RetroGameCon’s biggest event ever.

Check out everything we experienced. History of RGC From simple beginnings to […]

This October the Gamebox 2.0 gave us a few tricks and plenty of treats. We got to reunite with some old friends on the baseball diamond for Backyard Baseball ’97, went Beyond Shadowgate for the sequel to the NES adventure game, combined tactics and deck building in Dark Sky, and unleashed our inner Bridezilla in Lethal Wedding. Check out everything we played this month below.

Sony’s Marvel Universe continues to flounder as the Venom trilogy comes to a messy and rushed ending in Venom: The Last Dance. Picking up from the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage (and Eddie/Venom’s cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home), Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venom (also Hardy) are fugitives wanted for the murder […]

The recently released Smile 2 does exactly what a good sequel should: it takes what worked in the first movie and ramps it up to new levels. Naomi Scott takes over the lead role as Skye Riley,  a troubled pop superstar on the verge of starting a big comeback tour.  While trying to get some […]

2019’s Joker was an interesting spin on a classic comic character and a stylish throwback to 70s Scorsese griminess that found its way to an Oscar win for Joaquin Phoenix and over 1 billion dollars at the box office.  Joker: Folie à Deux is one of the most baffling sequels in recent memory. It feels […]

As we get into a cozy fall season, the games we played this month haven’t slowed down the fun. For this month of Gamebox 2.0, we hit the borderline of madness in Edge of Sanity, battled zombies in Blood Purge, fought unholy abominations in Immortal Hunters, and gunned down some meaty invaders in Iron Meat. Check out everything we played this month below.
