Video Game Review: The Walking Dead — The Final Season, Episode 3

Clementine’s goal us to protect AJ — not just physically, but emotionally in a world gone to hell. Thus the episode’s first major segment pits Clem in full Rick Grimes mode, all while AJ is watching.

Blu-ray Review: First Man

First Man is an interesting film. Partially it’s the subject matter, though Gosling’s portrayal of Armstrong is very subdued, but beyond that it’s how it’s put together. There are long stretches with little to no dialogue as the movie strives to put you in the astronaut’s point of view of being inside the module. The creaking and rattling, the sense of isolation and claustrophobia, all of it is done exceedingly well here.

Video Game Review: Vane

Vane is severely lacking in good ideas for the actual gameplay, lowlighted by the insufferably long penultimate zone where you and a group of other children push a giant orb around that manipulates the world as you move. It’s not that it’s a terrible idea, but it’s inadequate as a central theme for a section that accounts for nearly half the game.
