Insurgency: Sandstorm (PC) Review

I need to provide a disclaimer up front. I’m going to make quite a lot of comparisons to Team Fortress 2 during the following discussion of Insurgency: Sandstorm. I don’t exactly go out of my way to find new competitive, team-based first-person…

Tamagotchi Plaza (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

While I was a huge fan of the Digimon franchise as a kid, I didn’t have a huge interest in what the IP originally spun off of: Tamagotchi. I was definitely in the minority, seeing as over 40 million pocket devices with little digital…

Like a man hiding from a French “visually challenged fiend,” I seem to find FTL-likes (or similar) whether I want to or not. The latest (very latest) addition to the Rogue-like strategy genre with a penchant (for lack of a French term)…

WoW’s Winds of Mysterious Fortune Are Back

Some of my fellow World of Warcraft players may be asking themselves, “How am I going to quickly level and decently equip all my characters who are below level 80?” Well, to intentionally misquote Bob Dylan: “The answer, my friend, is blowing…

Raidou Remastered (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

I am a big fan of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. However, those familiar with the franchise are aware that it is expansive, branching out into spinoffs and subseries such as Devil Survivor (a strategy subseries), Soul Hackers (a pseudo sci-fi subseries), and…

Sultan’s Game Sells 1 Million Copies, New Content Announced

Since I saw Sultan’s Game on my Steam discovery queue a while ago, I found myself intrigued by the concept. A “card-based narrative-driven RPG” based on the One Thousand and One Nights tale, just hits a good spot. Now, after watching the…
