Football Manager 2024 (PC) – Review

Despite storming the field when the team won but wasn’t promoted in 2003, then having season tickets right behind the dugout in the new stadium the year following and beyond, I was never a big fan of whatever you call “the beautiful…

Lower Decks “Of Gods and Angels” – Review

So what exactly happened to Captain Carrol? Directed by Brandon Williams, this is his penultimate episode before we cover “Fissure Quest” towards the end of Lower Decks. I’ve previously covered what Williams has done in his other episode of the season, “The…

Lies of P (PC) – Second Opinion Review

We all know the story of Timothée Chalamet and Jiminy (or Gemini in-game) Cricket in the story from Italian writer Carlo Collodi, right? So I am sure I don’t have to explain in great detail the plot of Neowiz Games and Round8…

Black One Blood Brothers (PC) – Preview

Let’s play the usual game of me talking about a tactical shooter/military sim, while also notably being quite vocal on the after-action reports of real-world missions. If we’re one thing as humans, we’re contradictions. Something that sounds like a contradiction is a…

Black (PS2) – Review

Right, someone needs to get the razors out now, it is getting more than ridiculous. Back once again with the renegade master, Bob Suarez, this is his penultimate episode as director, previously working on Big Mouth and Solar Opposites, as well as…

Alien Market Simulator hits Early Access in 2025

Hi, my name is Keiran… Come on, this is where you’re all supposed to in one disinterested voice say “Hi Keiran.” This isn’t [shop type] Simulator’s Anonymous, is it? I’ve been doing this a lot lately, trauma-dumping my experience with different shop-type-based…

S4U: CITYPUNK 2011 AND LOVE PUNCH Releases in January

Time is a weird thing, one minute your niece is too young for school, you blink, and suddenly 2011 is long gone and she’s like a whole person that’s practically done with school. It makes you feel sick. Let’s go back to…

The 2024 Game Awards actually wasn’t bad

In the several years it has been that I’ve been watching Geoff Keighley’s yearly game advertisements, I don’t think I’ve enjoyed the show just as much as I think I have this year. Not because I wasn’t the one covering it, but…
