Oddworld: Soulstorm is a bit of a disappointment. I grew up with the franchise, so learning that this new entry would delve deeper into the fiendish politics and diabolical nature of Oddworld was incredibly exciting to hear, yet it sadly falls short. Daring narrative exploration is hamstrung by an inconsistent tone and evolution of its gameplay formula that never reaches its full potential. This breaks my heart, since I love so much about Soulstorm....

Our quick take Olympus Tough TG-1 - 3.0 / 5 Design Features & Performance Image Quality To recap The TG-1 may succeed in the tough stakes but, as per so many previous Olympus Tough cameras, it’s rather pedestrian by design and in use. The f/2.0-4.9 lens might sound great at the wide-angle setting, but no aperture or manual control seriously stunts its use. Performance isn’t great and image quality is nothing special....

There are a lot of heroes to play as in Overwatch. While some are better used by more experienced players, there are also ones that would be great for a newcomer to the team-based shooter to control, as well as for people that have been playing the game for a while but aren’t ranked highly. In Overwatch’s Hero Gallery, each character is ranked between one and three stars, letting fans know how difficult each one is to use....

With Overwatch’s Anniversary event having brought about the addition of three new Arena maps and a 3v3 Lockout Elimination Arcade Mode alongside some other well-received changes, fans have been enjoying the additions so much that they hope Blizzard will eventually make a competitive version of the new mode.

Though many feel Zenyatta has some of the best skins in Overwatch, ranging from his Cthulhu-inspired Cultist skin to his cheery Toybot costume, one creative player felt the need to give him a different kind of look. Seeing Zenyatta impacted by real-world events, Overwatch’s orb-tossing healer looks prepared to go through his day in lockdown thanks to a new fan-made idea. Like a previous Wallstreet Roadhog skin concept, this realistic spin on the Shambali monk shows a different side of his personality....

This article contains spoilers for all of Ozark. The fact that the writers let her walk without retribution is something that mirrors real life all too well. So many mass murderers, rapists, and atrocious felons go free every day, passed up by the U.S. justice system for other smaller criminals. Ozark could be making a statement in this way to pull open the curtain on the types of people who may walk among us without even knowing it....

This review contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel Ms. Marvel Episode 2 Unlike Moon Knight, I didn’t really know anything about the character of Ms. Marvel going into this new Disney+ show, so getting to know Kamala Khan, and the unravelling of the mystery behind her powers, has been fascinating to me. I’ve been discovering a little bit more about her comics origin as the show has unfolded, and Marvel Studios seem to have substantially altered Kamala’s powers from the comics....
