Indeed, the books bear philosophical influences from European and
When Contra: Rogue Corps premiered at this year’s E3, some longtime fans wondered whether this surprise new entry was pointing the series in the right direction. After all, Rogue Corps ditches the franchise’s traditional side-scrolling perspective for the top-down isometric camera angle of a twin-stick shooter. Gone is the 2D and in its place is a beefier

For this list I’ve pointedly ignored Game of Thrones, because Daenerys’

Heroes In Crisis was an incredible book. It told an extremely important story, delivering a critical message to an audience probably not used to hearing it. It also kind of breaks the superhero formula. The biggest split between DC and Marvel characters has always been what the characters are best at doing. Marvel has the

This Righteous Gemstones review contains spoilers. The Righteous Gemstones Episode 5 I feel like I’m beginning to repeat myself by praising The Righteous Gemstones for its character development and world-building, but “Interlude” further deepens our understanding of the Gemstone clan, particularly Eli and Baby Billy, by taking an illuminating trip to the past. That said, even if
Even though we’ve covered plenty of science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, and horror shows on Sci Fi Fidelity, we’ve never reviewed anything quite like The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

This Power Rangers Beast Morphers review contains spoilers. Power Rangers Beast Morphers Episode 9 There’s a moment in ‘Silver Sacrifice’ that made me stop and reevaluate my position on Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees has been part of pop-culture for decades. It shouldn’t be surprising that he’s had his share of comic book adventures, what with him essentially being a supervillain in a story with no superheroes. Granted, he’s a one-dimensional supervillain with an incredibly vague origin story, but he’s been memorable enough to
The Shenmue 3 announcement was one of the big surprises of E3 2015, leading to an initial clamor of support which saw its Kickstarter campaign well over $2m within hours of launch.
