SNW “Human Best Friend” – Review

Rayman Legends Retold – September Preview

Announced back in June, Rayman Legends Retold is something I’ve been excited for since we first got our hands on it during the first preview event. We’re now just nine days out from the release of the remake, and we got another…

The Hollowing announced and demo out now

Stop me when you think I am listing buzzwords that could sell me a game: A Job simulator, military thing, lo-fi, and psychological horror. You couldn’t beat my priapism down with a hammer. Unbeknownst to about 99% of humanity, PC Gamer hosted…

Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition gets release window

If you may forgive me for a moment, this time last week I got all of three press releases. Yet on Thursday, “Nah, here are twenty-seven of the things for every game ever announced.” Indeed, men used to go to war (the…

Amazon Luna Games with Prime – September 2026

An interesting turn of events, indeed. After the last couple of outings with Amazon Luna/Prime Gaming, I’ve been losing hope, and I believe next month we’ll get another gut punch of terrible, horrible, no good, very boring games, but for now we…

Astral Ascent is free on Epic

Monday, a Switch release for Malapata Studio’s Book Nook has been announced, and as I keep getting emailed “The Last of Us meets Stardew Valley” Ashfield Hollow has a new demo. Tuesday, everyone spent themselves during Gamescom, meaning news is drier than…
