Game Review: ‘Edengate: The Edge Of Life’
During the pandemic, there were a lot of changes going on that some people adjusted well to while others had no coping skills and made simple solutions painfully difficult to enforce. Game developers were also affected by the pandemic and like the aforementioned groups of people, felt fear, isolation, and uncertainty about the future. Indie game publisher and developer HOOK was inspired by this and made Edengate: The Edge of Life. I want to give thanks to HOOK for the reviewing opportunity! In Edengate: The Edge of Life players take on the role of Mia, a biologist, who has awakened in the hospital with little to no memory of what or how she got there, even more, she’s all alone, and not just in the hospital but in the entire city of Edengate. Now onto the game itself. When it comes to Edengate: The Edge of Life‘s controls, they’re literally just movement, zoom, and interaction, that’s it, pretty much impossible

Mckenna Grace Confirms Her Return For ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Sequel
Last year’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife is getting a sequel. The news was re-confirmed when, during a recent interview with NME, Mckenna Grace, who plaid the role of Phoebe in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, confirmed that she is returning to reprise her role. “It’s gonna be weird getting back into that character because I had just turned 13 when we started shooting [Ghostbusters: Afterlife], and now on our [new] set, I’m going to turn 17.” Mckenna looks very different now, so we assume there will be a time jump, with the sequel being set years after the events of Afterlife. The young actress already has 69 credits under her belt, appearing in series such as “The Handmaid’s Tale” and films like Bad Seed and Gifted, in which she stars opposite Chris Evans. While many details surrounding the sequel are being kept quiet, director Jason Reitman and writer Gil Kenan have confirmed that the sequel will return to New York City. So when can you

Movie Review: Coraline (2009) and ParaNorman (2012) – Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray [4K UHD]
Our dear fiends over at Shout! Factory have unleashed a demonic duo of frightful family features, and I’m about to lay my eerie eyeballs on both monstrous movies!

While existing in her solitude, our heroine makes the acquaintance of her parent’s landlady’s grandson; one, Wyborne “Wybie” Lovat (not to mention a black cat that always makes the scene), and before long her new pal hands Coraline a ragdoll his grandmother owns… and that thing looks just like our protagonist!
