Cave Story+ is Free on Epic Again

Monday, we reported that the Lies of P demo ended on Tuesday. Tuesday, another MMO decided to throw itself on the pyre of WoW‘s foes that are bland and do very little to get outsiders invested. Wednesday, All-Star Battle R added a new character, and Skater XL is coming to…

SNW “All Those Who Wander” – Review

Don’t come clanging down the street with saucepans for feet when it comes to your sci-fi horror, or quite frankly horror in general. A solid suspenseful horror will always outshine the jumpscare-athons that plagued us throughout the 2000s. This is the only…

Sea of Stars (PC) Review

Since it was announced in 2020, I’ve been fawning over Sabotage Studio’s Sea of Stars for simply how beautiful it is. It is a strange thing to say given the studio’s previous title, The Messenger, didn’t light a fire under me. Also, to…

Homeworld: Desert of Kharak is Free on Epic

Monday, nothing happened because Gamescom began, in fact, go check out the preview I did last week with the wonderful folks over at BeardEnvy on Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop. While you’re at it, Jumplight Odyssey was also released this week. Tuesday, it was Charles Martinet…

SNW “The Elysian Kingdom” – Review

Storytime, now where were we? I oddly admire Akela Cooper, Benny Russell, & Onitra Johnson’s “The Elysian Kingdom.” It is as camp as Brian Blessed marching down the street clad only in a big trans-pride flag shouting obscenities at those saying pride…

Jumplight Odyssey (PC) Preview

As colorful and anime-inspired as can be, League of Geeks’ Jumplight Odyssey is a true standout among the many games shown off this year during what is only loosely called faux-E3. Drenched in 80s anime and the hope of 90s Star Trek, the look can…

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…
