Legacy of the Dark Knight: the Expensive Future of Gaming

There is a point where I think people stop using the Luigi memes as jokes, and people start taking hammers to property. I’m not advocating for it, I’m just saying what will happen as a result of this push for AI data…

Life is Strange Reunion Announced, Max and Chloe to Return

Deck Nine announced a new Life is Strange game, coming our way on March 26, 2026, and published by Square Enix. In the new game, players will once again visit Caledon University, where Max Caulfield teaches photography. Returning from a weekend away, Max…

Love Eternal gets Release Date

Since it was announced, I have been keeping a close eye on Love Eternal. A side-scrolling horror platformer isn’t something that comes along very often, and while I have my differences with certain Ysbryd Games releases, I’m excited to see how this…

Big Hops (Nintendo Switch) Review

Developer Luckshot Games caught my attention with the release of 2018’s Sausage Sports Club. The physics-centric game did something that many others that attempt to hone in on this mechanic do not. Rather than allow the physics-based engine to run rampant, there was…

Yakuza 3 Remastered to be delisted

Something about SEGA is slightly annoying me right now. I love their games to bits; Yakuza, Sonic, Football Manager, Persona, Two Point games, Total War, Super Monkey Ball, Company of Heroes, and of course, Alien: Isolation, to name a few. That said,…

We’re all Old: Sonic the Hedgehog is 35

I don’t feel so good, Mr. Robotnik, I say as I crumble to dust. Yeah, you heard that headline correctly. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog’s 1991 debut. As expected, however, SEGA has plenty of plans to ring…

Fangtopia PC Demo Preview

Over our holiday break, I took my time to dip into some games I didn’t have time for late in the year. One of those games was the demo for Fangtopia, a game that reminded me a lot of Dorfromantik. While we…
