Review: Orcs Must Die

Robot Entertainment is making a splash with its new third-person action tower-defence strategy game, Orcs Must Die. Sure that genre description is a mouthful but when you have a game that plays with genres as much as this game that’s hard to avoid.

Review: WWSF Festival Scene Not Herd

The Scene Not Herd screening on June 3rd showcased Worldwide Short Film Festival music video selection. The shorts weren’t terrible, but watching an hour and a half of videos with little to no narrative grew tedious. I wasn’t sure if the program started off strong and lost steam, or if I got sick of watching one b-roll montage after another. First on the list was Buck 65’s Zombie Delight. Buck stars as...
