‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 2: An emotionally intense and relentlessly brutal return to Gilead

By Emily Reuben / July 22, 2018

 "The Handmaid’s Tale" Season 2 is more than worth the watch. Not only  does the show look excellent; there is a huge emphasis on character  development and interactions that really bring the show to life. While  scenarios do become slightly repetitive and some writing choices are  questionable, the good far outweighs the bad. For those looking for a  beautiful show with great acting, strong writing, and relevant political  commentary, this season more than delivers.

‘The Spiral Scouts’ is a raunchy puzzle-adventure that earns its badges

By Tanner Kinney / July 22, 2018

‘The Spiral Scouts’ is a lovely little puzzle-adventure game with a  style of humor that isn’t for everyone. The visuals are pleasing, the  soundtrack is incredible, and the puzzles are fun and satisfying to  solve. In terms of writing, although I thought the humor landed more  often than not, it’s definitely not the kind of humor for everyone. The  price of $10 is an absolute steal for a game of this quality. For those  looking for a game that’s a little bit different from the crowd of  high-brow indie titles, this raunchy package is perfectly sized for your  pleasure.

‘Luke Cage’ Season 2: An emotional, conflicted Luke Cage

By CJ Wilson / July 14, 2018

 Season two of Luke Cage gives more than expected. More action, more  humor, and greater references to the MCU related to the Marvel Netflix  shows. While it doesn’t have a central villain for almost the whole  season, it still focuses on developing Luke Cage’s character. It brings  up questions about what it means to be a hero and how to reconcile with  those we love. This show is personal and not for younger viewers. If you  want action and an emotional story, than watch this season of Luke  Cage. It isn’t recommended for viewers that prefer the quirky, joyful  side of Marvel.

‘Mario Tennis Aces’ grazes the net

By Eli Sokeland / July 14, 2018

 Overall, the game vastly improves on a lot of the major downfalls of  previous entries. However, the lack of customization and incentives does  negatively impact replayability. Despite this, the game’s brand new  mechanics and style creates a memorable experience that will appeal to  all audiences

‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ falls short of its legacy

By Tanner Kinney / July 13, 2018

 “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has some good aspects to it. Most of the comedy  is well done, and Paul Rudd absolutely kills it once again. The action  is also good enough to fit in with the blockbuster season. Yet, with  underwhelming visuals and a pointless narrative, it can’t help but feel  forced. The film really does feel like it was just the next part in a  mechanical series of movies, moving forward without judging how the  previous films would impact this one. It’s an entertaining popcorn flick  for sure, but if there was ever a Marvel movie to skip, it would be  this one.
