If you take a look at my list of 100 greatest games, you’ll find a healthy selection of classic JRPGs. As a product of the late 1980s and 1990s I’ve grown accustomed to what I played as a child. Older JRPGs were smaller games, peaceful games, games that took place in little, distant worlds....

10 Cloverfield Lane is a movie that works on subverting expectations – for both the audience and its characters. It does this continually throughout its svelte 106 minute runtime, but first with its own name. The title of the film suggests some kind of tie-in to the 2008 found footage monster movie Cloverfield – and...

Whatever the reason, all of this perfectly rational discourse got me thinking: why the hell was Ghostbusters 2 so mercilessly shredded by critics upon its initial release? I remember when I first started taking film criticism seriously,...

I’ve got a problem, Chompers, I’ve become addicted to a certain genre. That genre is a hybrid of two of the most celebrated series in videogame history, Metroid and Castlevania. For the past decade or so, this mash-up has been named MetroidVania. I understand it’s not the best of names, but it is a...

All Bond Films Ranked From Worst to Best: #10-6
We’re into the Top Ten now, ladies and gentlemen. I was genuinely surprised by how difficult it was to rank some of these movies. This is my one problem with making lists like this. A large part of me dies every time I find myself comparing the Sean Connery movies to the Roger Moore ones. Anyone...

Welcome to Part 2 of my choices for the 100 Greatest Horror films! A word or two about the numbers before we begin: they’re mostly arbitrary. Ranking 100 films and definitively saying that number 65 is better than number 66 and so on and so forth is basically impossible. The numbers aren’t really going...
