The Kaiju Preservation Society (Book) Review

“It’s a pop song. It’s meant to be light and catchy, with three minutes of hooks and choruses for you to sing along with, and then you’re done and you go on with your day.” Going into John Scalzi’s 2022 novel, I…

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop – Gamescom Hands-off Preview

With Gamescom kicking off tomorrow morning, I got a private little showcase of British developer Beard Envy’s upcoming multi-platform release for 2024, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop. Previously announced as a PC-only title, due to demand the team will be bringing the spaceship repair…

Black Book is Free on Epic

Monday, THQ Nordic did a showcase last week that was about as publicized as a nun’s undercrackers, and the author of The Metamorphosis joined Honkai Star Rail. Tuesday, everyone is sort of busy with Gamescom next week, including those who aren’t going but still create work for…

SNW “The Serene Squall” – Review

The Orions are totally not overused recently in Star Trek. Returning from episode 2 “Children of the Comet,” we have Sarah Tarkoff, and Beau DeMayo of “Memento Mori” as well as every gay Star Trek fan’s Instagram timeline. These two head up writing…

ATS Heading to Nebraska (After Kansas)

After the recent update and DLC for American Truck Simulator, I think like many I’ve been driving from state to state a lot lately. Including with a couple of mods, one of which seems pertinent right now. Following the release of the Oklahoma DLC…

Turbo Overkill (PC) Review

When you can start a review by saying the game made you feel like the phrase “[expletive] you, the horse you rode in on, and all that came with you!” I think it might be giving the carrot before the stick. I…

Orwell and Europa IV Is Free On Epic

Monday, the Poké-mans announced a show on the 8th. Tuesday, Red Dead Redemption is coming to the Switch and PS4, and Mortal Kombat 1 is still adding characters three decades later. Yes, I’ll keep up with this joke, it is a stupid name. Wednesday, Edward had a recap of…

SNW “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” – Review

This is the first Strange New Worlds episode with two returning writers, Bill Wolkoff of “Ghosts of Illyria,” and Robin Wasserman with “Spock Amok.” The two are joined by Arrowverse director Andi Armaganian, who also did some work with Discovery, but those are seasons 4…

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Is Out Now

I’ve been partial to a couple of gaming musical titles here and there throughout the years, most recently OFK last year. A little bit different, Humble Games and Summerfall Studios’ Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical uses a different art style and adds…

Hammer of Virtue (PC) Review

Hammer of Virtue isn’t normal when it comes to the convention of modern-day games, nor would I say is the Just Cause series. Both aim for style over substance but I’d also liken No Pest Productions’ latest title to the Earth Defense Force series. This is…
