Don’t Stop, Girlypop! (PC) – Review

I can say one thing with absolute certainty. Don’t Stop, Girlypop! isn’t something to play while sick and feeling a bit dizzy. To call Funny Fintan Softworks’ glitter-covered FPS maximalist would be an understatement, going for the most 90s-to-early-2000s aesthetic possible in…

Ready or Not: Boiling Point (PC) – Review

The year is 2028, the Los Angeles facsimile that is Los Sueños is on fire, there are riots in the streets, and the city government has become overly militarized. A bit like normal Los Angeles, but with people actually doing something about…

New Ready or Not DLC “Boiling Point” released

To say the world is a bit messed up would be an understatement, but at least there are games, and they aren’t dark, grim, and focused on being a SWAT officer in fictional future LA. I won’t lie, I do play Ready…

Ugly Betty “Derailed” – Review

“You’re not here to stitch, you’re here to snitch… [continued by Marc] she needs information, bitch!” Finally, a Christina and Justin-focused episode, I’m all here for it! Directed by James Hayman, it is kind of upsetting me how quickly we’re getting through…
