MadCap's Game Reviews - "Horizon Zero Dawn"

So...humanity has a weird fetish for post-apocalyptic fantasies, doesn't it?

I'm not making a joke here, it just amazes me how many games, television, and films use the time after the end of civilization as the entry point to their plots. Such as it is with Horizon Zero Dawn, a game from the loving arms of Guerrilla Games and Sony. And if Guerrilla isn't familiar to you, don't worry, it wasn't to me either. Their most known for the Killzone series of games...which I haven't played.

MadCap's Game Reviews - "The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age"

Isn't fanfiction just super fun?

No, really. That's what this is. Believe it or not, The Shadow of Mordor saga isn't the first time that someone's taken the epic saga of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and gone completely and utterly off the rails with it.

That would be Rankin/Bass. NO! END SENTENCE, BEGIN ANEW!

MadCap At the Movies - "Logan"

The character of Wolverine aka James Howlett aka Logan is a character that is definitely a breakout character among the X-Men. His past is long and storied (and overdone multiple times in the comics as well as in film) and many alternate futures see him as either an old, bitter man who has outlived everyone around him or a...actually, no, it's pretty much just that. Hence, we come to Old Man Logan, set in a dystopian future where the Red Skull has become President of the United States, the Abomination, Doctor Doom, and Magneto have likewise taken over portions of America. Naturally, being that FOX only had the rights to 50% of the aforementioned characters, some cutting down had to be done for this film.

I haven't read Old Man Logan, but it seems a natural choice for Hugh Jackman's final (or so we're led to believe at the time of this writing) stab at the character he has played now for seventeen years. The entire film, in fact, feels like a good last hurrah for the character overall, whether he's further played by Jackman or not (and indeed, I do hope Wolverine fades a bit more into the background in years to come).

MadCap's Game Reviews - "Final Fantasy XV"

So, I have danced with the Devil and committed the unbearable sin of playing a Final Fantasy game. Why? Because I was honestly feeling cocky and figured I could handle it. Alas, the game has changed and yet feels so much the same.

I spent a tutorial and then about five minutes learning that apparently anime Satan was a big threat to to Techno-Medieval Fantasy Kingdom #5306 before I spent about ten minutes pushing a car through a desert.

No, I'm serious. Pushing a car through a desert.
