 With only a couple episodes left in LANTERNS Season 1 , Episode 6 continues to prove just how much potential this series has. Coming off what I thought was one of the strongest episodes of the season with Episode 5, I was very curious to see whether Episode 6 could keep that momentum going. And thankfully, it did. This was another really good episode. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre continue to carry the series incredibly well as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and I’ve really enjoyed watching their characters and the larger mystery continue to develop as we move closer to the end of the season. At this point, one of the biggest things I’m feeling is just how happy I am to have the Green Lantern side of DC back in live action. There is still so much potential here. The mythology, the characters, the Corps, the larger universe there are plenty of directions this story could continue exploring beyond Season 1, and I really hope we eventually get the opportunity to see that happen. For n...

Five episodes into LANTERNS , and I think we may have just gotten the best episode of the season so far. Episode 5 really worked for me. Everything that has been building throughout these first few weeks feels like it is beginning to come together in a much bigger way, while at the same time creating even more questions about where this story could possibly go next. And honestly, that is probably my favorite thing about this episode. I genuinely have no idea where LANTERNS is heading from here. The series has spent its first several episodes establishing its characters, mystery and larger direction, but Episode 5 feels like the point where things start becoming even more exciting. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre continue to be fantastic as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and their performances remain one of the biggest strengths of the series for me. Their different personalities and approaches continue to make their dynamic incredibly fun to watch. The pacing also really worked for me thi...

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival has been on my radar, but after experiencing the PC demo, I can comfortably say that my interest in the game has grown considerably. I absolutely loved this demo. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was how it seemed to pull together elements that reminded me of several of my favorite games from the last decade. There were moments where I felt shades of Resident Evil and Outlast , particularly through the atmosphere, tension, exploration, and horror. And strangely enough, I even got a little bit of Far Cry from certain aspects of the experience. Obviously, Far Cry isn't a horror franchise, but something about the movement, environments, gameplay flow, and overall feel reminded me of it at times. Blending those kinds of elements together with a much darker horror experience made the demo feel familiar without simply feeling like a copy of something else. The atmosphere was easily one of the biggest highlights for me. It feels grimy, ...

Today, I wanted to share an important update regarding UNDER SHADOWS and its upcoming release. UNDER SHADOWS was originally scheduled to release on September 25, 2026 . After taking some time to reconsider the timing and everything surrounding the project, I have made the decision to officially delay its release. UNDER SHADOWS will now release in Fall 2027. This was not a decision I made lightly. September 25 had been part of my plans for UNDER SHADOWS for quite some time, and I had been looking forward to finally sharing the project this fall. Unfortunately, circumstances throughout the year changed considerably, and ultimately I decided that moving the release rather than trying to force it into its original window was the right decision. I know that Fall 2027 represents a significant delay, especially compared with the original September 2026 release. However, I would much rather give UNDER SHADOWS a new home on the calendar than release it simply because an older date said that I ...

Four episodes into LANTERNS , and I'm continuing to really enjoy this series. Episode 4 is another very good chapter that keeps the story moving while giving us more of the characters, relationships, and larger mystery that have kept me interested throughout the season. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre continue to be fantastic as Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Their performances remain one of the strongest parts of the show for me, and I've really enjoyed watching their dynamic grow throughout these first four episodes. The pacing continues to work well, too. The series is taking its time with certain pieces of the mystery without making things feel stagnant, and there is still plenty here that has me wondering exactly where everything is ultimately heading. We're now officially halfway through Season 1, and I'm happy with where things stand. Episode 1 gave us a strong beginning, Episodes 2 and 3 continued building on that foundation, and Episode 4 keeps the momentum going....

PlayStation’s September 2026 State of Play and State of Play Japan double feature is officially in the books, and after spending several hours watching, reacting, and talking about everything that was shown, I can safely say that I had a really good time with this one. Was everything I predicted there? Definitely not. Were there a few announcements I really wish we had gotten? Absolutely. But that’s part of the fun of these showcases. You go into them with a giant list of possibilities, hopes, and wild predictions, and then you get to see what PlayStation actually has waiting behind the curtain. And overall, I thought this was a fun show.
