Doctor Who “Under the Lake” & “Before the Flood” – Review

Another double-bill, another base-under-siege, and another episode with non-corporeal beings of a victorian bent. Series 9 of Doctor Who is kicking off with my favorite things. It is not opposite day today, you say? Oh well, back to hating another story that makes me…

Weird West (PC) Review

One of the games that I’ve been looking most forward to this year has been Weird West. Mixing folklore and the supernatural in an American frontier setting is appealing on its own and adding in a focus on various immersive elements captured…

Prime Gaming – April 2022

2022’s Gaming Releases are Very Reminiscent of 2017

2017 was one of the greatest (if not the greatest) years in gaming history, Nintendo made a splash with the Switch and released both Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. PlayStation saw one of the biggest new IP launches with Horizon: Zero Dawn and Nioh,…

Espresso Tycoon is Part of Steam Simfest

Due to the success of the Steam Next Fests, Valve has begun branching out a little bit. From March 28th to April 4th, Steam is holding a Steam Simfest. This is (as you can guess) an event centered around game demos to…

Young Souls (Switch) Review

There are some games that try to mash the best parts of other genres together. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they don’t. Young Souls succeeds in some areas but fails in others. It has some great ideas, but also some frustrating elements.…
