Sonny Rollins' "A Night At The Village Vanguard" is a classic. And if you have a good stereo, the newest version of this iconic #jazz album, "A Night At The Village Vanguard: The Complete Masters," is worth the upgrade. Here's the link to my review.

While the makers of #StellarBlade clearly love games like “Devil May Cry,” it’s their appreciation for other (read: more modern) games that make this hack & slash action game so compelling. Here’s my review.

While "Tales Of Kenzera: ZAU" is a typical side-scrolling action game, it's also a really good one. Here's the link to my review.

While sci-fi stories are often about the person in charge, S.A. Barnes' "Ghost Station" is instead about their shrink. Which is good; since it's also a horror story. For a proper diagnosis, check out this Q&A.
