Male Characters Need More Sexy Cosmetics

Cosmetics are everywhere in video games now. Extra skins, costumes, clothing, and other types of cosmetics enable you to customize characters in your favorite games. However, I think we can all agree that cosmetics for male characters tend to be pretty basic.…

Wholesome Direct – 2022 Round Up

This was the only reason I bothered to write anything this not-E3. Wholesome Direct, the portion of gaming that isn’t about some kind of space horror. Of course it focuses on the smaller end of the gaming spectrum, as opposed to the…

Mini Motorways (Switch) Review

I love a good puzzle game, something relaxing and easy to just dip into when I need to kill time. Games like Dorfromantik and Islanders scratch that itch pretty well. Mini Motorways requires a little more thought, but it still scratches that…

Fighting Games, Presentation, and Personality

If you were to ask me what I think the most important aspect of a modern fighting game is, I would be tempted to say its netcode and more generally the online experience. Whether it’s players who attend tournaments or those who…

Xbox & Bethesda Showcase – 2022

Warning: The following article contains links to trailers that may contain strong language. Reader’s discretion is advised. I love this time of year. The day we’re all invited around to the house of everyone’s second-favorite uncle Phil to be snarky about how…
