Behind the Frame is Free on Epic

Monday, relaxed Metroidvania Embroideryvania (try reading that while drunk) got an announcement. Tuesday, after it had already frozen over with the events of Monday, Helskate finally released into its 1.0 state. Like all early access titles that don’t spend seven years in…

Lower Decks “Fissure Quest” – Review

The scream I scrumpt for the gays was so long and high pitched I’m sure even the Colonel would get the all-dog alert. Written by executive story editor and writer of Bless the Harts (a King of the Hill-wannabe), Lauren McGuire writes…

EA Origin set to be shut down in April

It goes without saying, this idea of an all-digital future is pretty crap. One minute you might have created a nice little living out of an online platform for it to disappear soon after, and in one case return shortly after thanking…

Wild Bastards (PC) – Review

Hailing from Australia, Blue Manchu’s Wild Bastards is the… Sequel(?), successor, continuation, or whatever you want to call it of the studio’s space-based title, Void Bastards. This time set in the Wild Wild Wild West, it is exactly the same in premise…

Escape Academy is Free on Epic

Monday, the sun saw fit to rise, I was still trying to make sense of a 6-0 win, and I had to polish off the turd that is January’s Prime Gaming offers, which aren’t terrible just not great. Also, there is open…

For some reason, I thought Joel Fry had already been in an episode of Doctor Who. Now I’m right. Directed by Alex Pillai, Pillai is probably best known for that Sabrina everyone was talking about, and I’m not talking about Melissa Joan…

Highway Police Simulator (PC) – Review

Newton’s third law of motion said that for every action, there has to be an equal and opposite reaction. My theory is that for every moderately good simulator in a subgenre, there needs to be an equal and opposite addressing to balance…

Architect Life gets Summer Release Date

I snort house-building games almost as much as I snort shop-ownership games. Ok, that’s a lie, there is only one reason I know how to type “MOTHERLOAD” so fast I can probably beat a court stenographer. The point is, yesterday afternoon, as…

Prime Gaming – January 2025

Another year, another month, another one of these Prime Gaming articles where I need to talk about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly Big Fish Games games (currently un)available throughout January. As always, Lost (T)Ark has some dried, shriveled-up, piles…

Turmoil is Free on Epic

On Monday, nothing happened. What do you expect, we’ve been on a break and I quite enjoyed the time off, as well as traveling on the team bus of an indescript sports team to a great victory. Beyond that, nothing has happened…
