Loop Hero is Free On Epic, Again

Monday, Jeffrey was testing my patience as August’s Prime Gaming drops were revealed. Also, the only thing I want to smash when it comes to Nickelodeon is a brick off of all its IP, and the anime-Voyager, Jumplight Odyssey is releasing in just a couple of weeks. Tuesday, Mortal…

SNW “Spock Amok” – Review

Think of an awkward comedian, like David O’Doherty. Now spread that out like nails on a chalkboard for an hour. Only then do I think you’ve got Henry Alonso Myers & Robin Wasserman’s “Spock Amok.” Directed by Rachel Leiterman, the mostly second…

The Repair House (PC) Review

If you swap out all the parts of a ship (or broom) over time, is it still the same object after decades of maintenance? Say you had a broom which is just two parts (the handle and head) and you replaced the…

Jumplight Odyssey Flying Into Early Access Next Month

How did I describe it in the PC Gaming Show this year between the blind rage fits of wanting to kill the Kimmel-like host? To quote me recently, “Sort of FTL meets Theme Hospital/Evil Genius, Jumplight Odyssey thrusts you into the stars without the hint of [a] release…

Prime Gaming – August 2023

Another month and another article to complain about what is available with your Amazon Prime subscription, it must be Prime Gaming for August. As always, you can pick up “in-game content” (tripe) for such nonsense as Overwatch 2, FIFA 23, Diablo IV, Roblox, Fallout 76, HI-Fi Rush, Two Point…

Severed Steel & Homeworld Are Free On Epic

Monday, an update came to Street Fighter 6 adding someone familiar to the roster, while Corpo Battle-Royale ’em up Showgunners got a free DLC that was poorly advertised. Tuesday, The Smurfs are back, as The Smurfs 2 game sequel got a new trailer, Pokémon Unite is celebrating its…

SNW “Memento Mori” Review

See Picard, this is how to do titles. Call your episodes something but translate it to Latin, use a line from a poem, or as we’ll see next time use a bit of wordplay. Directed by Dan Liu, best known for some Walking…

Hammer of Virtue Coming To PC Next Month

Set in an odd Japanese game-show-style land of tomorrow, Hammer of Virtue is something I didn’t know I needed in my life until fairly recently. Developed by Swedish studio, No Pest Productions, the studio’s first 3D outing has you cosplaying as a knight…

Planet of Lana (PC) Review

Stunning from the word go, Planet of Lana is something I’ve been at least mildly excited about since I saw it during the extravaganza of beige that was E3 2021. This hand-painted, beautiful platformer is Limbo/Inside if they knew what RGB stood for.…
