Doctor Who “Smile” – Review

“Emoji. It speaks emoji,” no really, tell me how this series is great, youthful, and not predominantly written by white men who are now at least over 40 years old. Frank Cottrell-Boyce and I don’t get along for several reasons. Mostly due…

Prime Gaming’s Prime Day Offerings, Including Mass Effect

Another month and another bout of games available with Prime Gaming. Oh wait, that’s next week (I think). This week I’m talking about the surprise Prime Day “Freeloading” and the 25 games available starting today until July 13th. A few others are only on…

Supraland Is Free On Epic

Monday, the Future Games Show happened again, meanwhile, Bethesda ended the Xbox conference with No Man’s Sky 2: Fallout Edition. Tuesday, Capcom did horror and fighting, as I demanded that the PC Gaming Show dies. Wednesday, the Wholesome Direct reminded us that not everything is space…

Doctor Who “The Pilot” – Review

The thing is, I can see what was attempted here, and while there are moments I liked, it never clicked. Bill Potts is a fine character though a little heavy on the: “I’m gay, by the way, tell The Guardian about that…

Wholesome Direct – 2022 Round Up

This was the only reason I bothered to write anything this not-E3. Wholesome Direct, the portion of gaming that isn’t about some kind of space horror. Of course it focuses on the smaller end of the gaming spectrum, as opposed to the…

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (PC) – Review

The point that made me stop playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 last time, as I do intermittently hop back into my truck, was the point I began to search for online radio stations in-game. At that point, I had to stop because it was…

The PC Gaming Show Needs To Change

Terrible, grossly mismanaged, an ineffective attempt to garner viewership and attention by imitating the fickle and bland nature of late-night shows, and whatever obscenely long word best describes ads for credit cards designed for “gamers.” I’m sorry Richard Whiteley, the best I’m…

Sniper Elite 5 (PS4) Port Review

I wonder if Hitler is like Paul McCartney or Avril Lavigne, you know, those people that the conspiratorial rumor is constantly spiraling that they died and were replaced. That’s the only explanation I’ve got for the number of times Karl Fairburne has…

Xbox & Bethesda Showcase – 2022

Warning: The following article contains links to trailers that may contain strong language. Reader’s discretion is advised. I love this time of year. The day we’re all invited around to the house of everyone’s second-favorite uncle Phil to be snarky about how…

Maneater Is Free On Epic

Monday, Sony did another State of Play showcase, and budget feudal Pixar the RPG is coming to early access. Tuesday, another trite horror game is coming to Steam, and the plague of mining in games keeps going on. Wednesday, one of only two games I’ve seen this week…
