The Knightling is a single-player open-world adventure title developed by Twirlbound and published by Saber Interactive. While I describe the game as an open-world adventure, this only means that exploration and some side quests can be done out of order.

What’s his deal? Why is he one of the most beloved and iconic comic book villains?

After the unfortunate death of Chester Bennington, I thought that I would never be able to experience the greatness of Linkin Park on tour.

Read MoreMany of us believe in the famous “men in black”, mysterious government agents that deal with things beyond the scope of normal life. In Royal Gambit, author Daniel O’Malley introduces us to the British version of the men in black, the Checquy. But in a further twist, the Checquy doesn’t just handle X-files, its agents are pulled from those very cases! Now the Checquy has
Read MoreIs it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a drone? Or is it a man? No, it’s the newest Superman movie that’s meant to bring back hope, spirit, and optimism into our hearts.
