The word indie in the video game industry has made its rounds over the years. I wasn’t too keen on them when they first started to become more mainstream; it wasn’t until the PSVita when I began to give them a try. Now, years later, some of my favorite games I’ve ever played are indies.… Continue reading Phantom Trigger — Switch Review

My current editor, Jaden Daly, wrote the following mini-bio of me for his website A Daly Dose Of Hoops, and I’m posting it here because it’s one of the coolest things anyone has done for me.
I’ll be forever thankful to him. Thank you, Jaden.
"Jonathan joined the Daly Dose Of Hoops staff in the fall of 2016, and will serve as the primary source of coverage for Wagner College and the Northeast Conference. In addition to his work on this site, he is also the editor-in-chief of his own website, The “J” Effect, as well as a columnist for TheGWW.com. His industry background is extensive, having served in the past as a breaking news intern at the Staten Island Advance and its website, SILive.com, and also as a sports intern at the Riverdale Press.
A 2016 graduate of Manhattan College, Jonathan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications, with a concentration in journalism. During his time at the Riverdale institution, he wrote for Manhattan’s student newspaper; The Quadrangle, beginning as a staff writer before ultimately assuming the positions of senior writer, assistant editor; and ultimately, sports editor. His work for the Quadrangle earned him Manhattan’s Excellence in Journalism, Best Sports News Article, and Most Prolific awards, as well as nominations for eight similar awards in his four-year tenure. His in-depth profile on Steve Masiello, compiled in April 2016, still stands as one of the most comprehensive pieces written about the head coach since Masiello was hired by Manhattan in 2011."
Retro City Rampage DX – Switch Review
There’s an allure to suspending one’s disbelief in a video game by causing mass chaos through violence. Two prime examples of this are Saint’s Row and, the big kahuna, Grand Theft Auto. The former never appealed to me while only Chinatown Wars on the 3DS and GTA 5 ever held my attention long enough. I… Continue reading Retro City Rampage DX – Switch Review
Middle Earth: Shadow of War officially announced
From a potential leak on behalf of retailer Target to the NeoGAF forums pointing it out, WB Games released a cinematic announcement trailer for Middle Earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. The GWW’s President Joe Barhoum scored the game an 8.8 and wrote Mordor is the “best… Continue reading Middle Earth: Shadow of War officially announced
Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil – Riverdale Review
Those first few minutes of Riverdale weren’t a good influence on my composure. I totally understand why almost every girl at Riverdale High and, of course, Kevin, who had another amazing line, fawns after Archie. Mr. Andrews is smoking hot, in my case that credit goes all to KJ Apa. More please! As for that… Continue reading Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil – Riverdale Review
Chapter One: The River’s Edge — Riverdale Review
I didn’t have an interest in watching the new CW series Riverdale because of having read the Archie comics. I’ve never perused one, let alone picked up a copy. I know the name; its history; and how beloved the series is. What this show will do for me, and probably a good amount of other… Continue reading Chapter One: The River’s Edge — Riverdale Review

Rebels Dispatch: Darth Maul is back and still, well, nasty as ever
SPOILER WARNING! I’m really sorry that my “Rebels Dispatch” column is late by a few days this week. I’ve been a bit busy returning and adjusting to work again in my personal life, so it’s been a bit difficult finding the time to sit down and write. But enough about me already. Onward into some… Continue reading Rebels Dispatch: Darth Maul is back and still, well, nasty as ever
