The Flash (08×03)- “Armageddon, Part 3″ Written by: Sam Chalsen Directed by: Chris Peppe So we left off with Barry telling Black Lightning about “Injustice” and it turns out that wasn’t just Barry being dramatic. It seems that “Injustice” is a protocol for taking the powers from a member that is going rogue. Barry explains everything that’s been going on and Jefferson is (logically) hesitant. After all, that’s (supposed to be) a permanent solution to what might be a temporary problem. He tries to get Barry to relax for a moment but let’s be real here has asking someone to calm down ever actually worked? In the end, Jefferson…

REVIEW: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Editor’s Note: This review is for the Nintendo Switch version of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. As someone who played the first three Ace Attorney Games, and loved them, I know giving The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles a chance in the west was a no-brainer.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles follows the ancestor of defense attorney Phoenix Wright. The main character is a Japanese student named Ryunosuke Naruhodo who studies law in Great Britain. During his time overseas, Ryunosuke gets included in several causes,…

REVIEW: Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin (Nintendo Switch)
When the guardian species known as Rathalos begin disappearing, the world is turned upside down, with monsters running rampant and strange lights appearing around the world. It is up to the grandchild of a legendary rider to investigate the mystery and save the world.

Enter Monster Hunter Stories 2, Wings of Ruin, the second installment in the Monster Hunter spinoff franchise. Here, the player controls a Rider, who instead of hunting monsters keeps them as companions. These…
