Now the game has been overhauled and the VR removed, and this new version dubbed Chronos: Before The Ashes is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and Stadia. Of course with backwards compatibility, it's…

Jeremiah Johnson is an overlooked northern western that tells the story of a man who leaves behind one society for a simpler life, but soon finds that simple definitely does not equate to easy. Johnson is played by Robert Redford in a role that he absolutely owns from beginning to end. This is one of the films I use a bench mark whenever I reference any other film of the same genre being “beautifully photographed” or having superb cinematography. Jeremiah Johnson creates a world and a landscape…

I, along with many others, have harbored a deep irrational and unfair grudge against Bruce Dern ever since his role in “The Cowyboys” back in the 1970s where he became forever known as the man who shot John Wayne in the back.

Now finally, at age 77, it appears Dern has finally found “redemption” from his past…

Journey was released on March 13, 2012 as a PSN exclusive and was met with very high review scores; most people seem to love it. So it was no surprise when the game was released in retail stores along with other thatgamecompany games “Flower” and “Flow” as “the Journey Collector’s Edition.” The game is so well liked that it was the “Game of the Year” for many outlets/people; even Amazon named it the 2012 Game of the Year (well the Collector’s Edition, but same thing). It’s a game that I had…
