Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures
A Choice of Futures is an interesting novel. In a weird way, I'd say it's as close to a Tom Clancy novel as you're going to find in Star Trek. Only, instead of Jack Ryan, we have Archer and instead...

Star Trek: New Frontier: Fire on High review
Fire on High continues with the changes started in Martyr, keeping the crew semi-serious and toning down the humor so it's still hilarious but possessed of more character development and drama....

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Never-Ending Sacrifice review
I love Una McCormack's work. I may not have cared much for the B-plot in Hollow Men but the A-plot was absolutely grand. The Never-Ending Sacrifice, however, does something daring and should be...

Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall DLC review
Dishonored is one of the best games to come out last year. The fact there's a distinct lack of stealth-based gameplay lately means it's virtually unchallenged as the best of its genre, as well....

The Fuller Memorandum (The Laundry book 3) review

What is Steampunk?
Since I have some extra time today, I thought I'd talk about one of my favorite lesser-known genres. Like urban-fantasy, Steampunk is one of the creatures which has grown up in recent years as a...

Dark review
There is something worse than a terribly-made game and that's a game where you actually suspect you'd enjoy it if the developers just gave a damn. Dark is an awesome game which is unplayable due to...

Throne of Glass review
When I was a boy, the shelves were absolutely filled with fantasy novels. I read over a hundred Dragonlance novels alone, often one a day. Then, in part because I went to college, I fell out of the...

Retro-Review: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster. Grand Theft Auto is a series I like to call a "Catharsis Simulator" where we get to briefly turn off our brains for a time to enjoy ourselves. You can read...

Grand Theft Auto IV review
As part of my "Month of Grand Theft Auto", I thought I'd take time to review the majority of the games in the series. At the very least, the HD versions. No more important game to this study exists...

The Omega Dog (Pavlov's Dogs book 2#) review
The Omega Dog is the sequel to Pavlov's Dogs, a story of genetically-engineered werewolves versus zombies I found to be immensely satisfying. The Omega Dog picks up literally minutes after the...
