MotionRec (PC) Review

Ordinarily, I might make a pun about how I’m going through the “motions” of writing another review, if I weren’t so pleased with my subject today. What we’ve got here is MotionRec, a delightful puzzle game from developer Handsum (not sure if…

Ugly Betty “Pilot” – Review

David’s Backlog Busting: Kaiserpunk Preview

The Red Hot Chili Peppers once asked, “How come everybody wanna keep it like the Kaiser?” Well, Kaiserpunk is a game that may or may not address that question. Kaiserpunk, developed and published by Overseer Games, is “a grand city builder blending…

2025 Holiday Gift Guide – A Few Picks

It is that time again, y’all. The menacing sound of “Ho, Ho, Ho” reaches our ears, and we know Christmas shopping is here. So, in the effort to help with Black Friday and beyond, I have a few potential ideas of things…

Shard Squad (PC) Review

The list of bullet heaven roguelites continues, as this is one genre that isn’t losing any steam on Steam. Honestly, it can keep at it, with Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and BALL x PIT still occupying a ton of playtime for me in 2025. Another…
