For my fellow One Piece fan boys and girls, Collection No. 13 is the long-awaited wraps up what is perhaps the best story arc in the entire series. … read more
Review: One Piece: Collection No. 13
Local Reviews: MAD MAX
A hip hop record that uses all-live instrumentals usually falls to one end of the spectrum: either really awesome or really bad. Combinations of rock music and hip hop are even less reliable—certain elements of live rock seem to clash with some of the other components of hip hop, like clear vocal delivery and danceable rhythm. … read more
Beachmen @ Diabolical Records with The Wild War, 90s Television
A shimmering ambiance hovers over my memory of Beachmen’s second album release show, bathing the whole experience in orange and bronze. I see guitar pedals and muffled drums from five feet away. We’re in an intimate venue where the crowd is full at six rows deep, filling the entire place up by the time the
Review: Forza Motorsport 6
Forza Motorsport 6 Turn 10 Studios/ Microsoft Studios Reviewed on: Xbox One (Exclusive) Street: 09.15.2015 I don’t think it’s out of the question to say that Turn 10’s Forza series is every bit a part of what makes the Xbox platform what it is, perhaps even as much of war as Halo or the Gears
Review: Suicide Risk: Volume Five–Scorched Earth
Suicide Risk: Volume Five–Scorched Earth Writer: Mike Carey Artist: Elena Casagrande IDW Street: 09.16 When we last left off, the poop had figuratively hit the fan.

The show lacks a certain je ne sais quoi—it’s missing that
Review: Run Love Kill
Run Love Kill follows Rain, a gifted soldier and assassin who discovers that she may be fighting for the wrong side. It’s all a fairly familiar storyline with some very familiar tropes. … read more
Review: Blackwell 4: Deception
Blackwell 4: Deception Developer/Publisher: Wadjet Eye Games Played on: iOS Street Date: 09.24 Of all the video games with terrible film adaptations, I always thought Blackwell was a series ripe for a great film–or in 2015, a new Netflix series. The series, which spanned a total of five games, starred Rosangela Blackwell, a freelance writer
Review: Elementary: The Complete Third Season
Elementary’s main difference doesn’t lie with Sherlock, but with his sidekick, Watson. Instead of a John Watson, we have a Joan Watson—it’s also set in New York instead of London. … read more
Review: The Lion Of Rora
Those comic readers who are up on their 16 century European history may find a sweet spot in their heart for Lion of Rora, but outside of that, I can’t imagine the average comic book fan adding this to their pile. … read more
Local Reviews: Palace of Buddies
Salt Lake is lucky to be home to these experimental, shoe-gazing badasses. Taking a turn from their first album, which was more rock based, Summertimes has an electro-pop, retro feel—heavy on seductive bass lines and salivating keyboard. … read more
Review: Cute Things Dying Violently
This game would’ve worked perfectly as an app for mobile phones, but even with a three-dollar price tag, it’s tough to recommend Cute Things Dying Violently. … read more
