Total War: Victoria (Empire 2)

There is so much potential to be an incredible total war game set in Victorian times, potentially redeeming Empire Total War’s previous faults. While scope may be the devil of implementation for this title, the payoff for achieving a balanced and scalable RTS during this rapidly evolving time would let us tap into some of the most interesting conflicts of the late colonial era.

Designing the Next “Total War”

For over 20 years now, Creative Assembly has graced us with its historical strategy game series, Total War. With Warhammer III on the horizon and Three Kingdoms wrapping up its DLC content, it is inevitable that they are going to expand their IP to yet another ancient setting to keep their historically-inclined fans (like us!) on the hook for their next major release.

Our Worst Viewing Experiences of 2021

Justice League: The Snyder Cut After the theatrical version of Justice League flopped on release, fans held out hope for the mythical “Snyder Cut” – that is, Zack Snyder’s original vision of the film. Then, one day it actually happened. Well, it was a sit-through, but not in a good way. Hard to classify whether to call this release a movie or a miniseries, given its chapter-based format, and it shows in the overall pacing. To its credit, it did help expand on elements that we missing from the original – especially in regards to Cyborg’s character. This was a
