Video Game Review – Rigid Force Alpha

by

Red Stewart reviews Rigid Force Alpha for PC… What can I say about the shoot-em up (or schmup) genre that hasn’t been said before? It’s a fairly-simple type of game to create: throw a bunch of enemies on-screen and give the player unlimited ammo to mow them all down. Because of massive influence from Space Invader and Galaga, […]

Comic Book Review – Fantastic Four #2

by

Allen Christian reviews Fantastic Four #2… “Here We Make Our Stand” When last we left the Future Foundation, the Reed Richards helmed think-tank featuring the brightest young minds on Earth, they were rebuilding the imploded multiverse with the combined powers of Franklin Richards and the Molecule Man. And that’s exactly where they are when we […]

Comic Book Review – Fantastic Four #1

by

Allen Christian reviews Fantastic Four #1… In early 2015, leading into Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Wars, we saw the dissolution of the Fantastic Four and the cancellation of their eponymous monthly comic book. The assumption is that Marvel seized this opportunity to cease production of the book due to ongoing conflict with 20th Century Fox, the […]
