Product Review: Rings From Dark Relics

Halloween will be upon us soon, and you might think it’s too early to be thinking about accessorizing your outfit, you’re wrong! Now’s the time to consider options! May I introduce you to Dark Relics, a site with dark designs that you can wear on your fingers or around your neck! I would like to give a big thank you to Dark Relics for making this review possible! Dark Relics was awesome and sent me three rings to try; the first ring is called The Kraken, or as I call it, “The Cultist”, the ring features a skull with tentacles. The second ring is called, appropriately, Two Ravens, or as I call it, “Odin’s Ravens” after Huginn and Muninn who act as Odin’s eyes, the ring features the pair of ravens wrapped around your finger. Finally, there’s the Davy Jones, or as I call it, you probably already know, “Cthulhu’s Skull”. The ring features a humanoid skull with tentacles flowing

J.P. Smith Slow Burns in Horror Novel ‘The Summoning’ – Book Review

Plot The plot in J.P. Smith’s novel The Summoning is great, but be warned that it is not easy or simple. It is full of twists, turns, surprises, and there of a definitely emotional, mental and spiritual weight to the novel. This is one of those powerful stories that will take its toll on you. The issues that are in this plot, wrapped in mystics and fraud, deal with the depth of the real emotions of loss and grief. There is so much in this plot that I don’t know how Smith organized and controlled it, but he does, and masterfully so. While reading it, I lost track of the twists and how they were used. Too often twists are used simply for shock value or just for the sake of having a twist, but, Smith uses them strategically to keep the audience (and characters) guessing. The turns in The Summoning progress the story and keep everything moving in the

Game Review: ‘The Ascent’

A big thank you to Neon Giant and Curve Digital for the opportunity to review this cyberpunk RPG! If you’re still being burned by a certain cyberpunk game earlier this year or can’t get enough of the cyberpunk aesthetics, then The Ascent is for you! The Ascent takes players to another planet where a corporate-operated city stretches high in the air and is home to millions of workers (more like slaves) to The Ascent Group arcology from all over the galaxy. One day, the company’s systems shut down putting the livelihood of all who live in the city in jeopardy as rival corporate groups and black marketers try to take advantage. I’m letting slide some tech issues as it’s been announced that patches are on the way in August and September but let’s get on to the game itself! This is a third-person shooter where the camera is set at a higher angle so aiming during combat can be slightly

Well, RobotPumpkin Games and Assemble Entertainment have brought back the joys and pains of this reading style digitally in The Innsmouth Case, an interactive story set in the world of H.P.
