Blockbuster Inc. (PC) – Review

There is a point at which too much detail might become a burden to you as a player. Similarly, there is a point where too much freedom as a creative feels constraining. Super Sly Fox and Ancient Forge’s Blockbuster Inc. is a…

Ships at Sea (PC) – Preview

I’ve mentioned my only experience of being on a boat at sea before a number of times, a fishing trip where I left more of myself there than I took out. Yet despite that horrible experience, I’m always looking for fishing games…

Doctor Who “73 Yards” – Review

Oh, so we can call people fairies now? I wish I knew that before. Directed by Dylan Holmes Williams and written by Russell T Davies, it is a very Welsh episode from two men with very Welsh names. Williams is probably best…

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (Movie) Review

2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my favorite films. Never before had I seen a racing film with such a distinct style. Combine that with some truly exceptional action set pieces and some fantastic stunt work and you have one…

Pepper Grinder (PC) Review

Freedom Planet 2 (Switch) Review

One of my favorite Indie platformers is 2014’s Freedom Planet. It was at the time (and still is, I think) the only Indie game to attempt to capture the magic of early Sonic The Hedgehog platformers and succeed. Now developer GalaxyTrail has…

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami (PC) – Review

In a dark and smokey room, with coffee stains on every surface and abandoned dreams clouding the air, there is only one duck to solve the case, Eugene McQuacklin. A Noir-esque tale of stolen salami, Happy Broccoli Games’ Duck Detective is a delightful little mystery…

Doctor Who “Boom” – Review

Is it offensive to say this one is a bottle-episode? Directed by Julie Anne Robinson, Robinson returns following “Space Babies;” She’s also known as the director of episodes 1 and 6 of a small show called Bridgerton, I’m sure it is a lovely…

Heading Out (PC) Review

I tend to shy away from games that involve a lot of strategy, but if one of those games has a distinct aesthetic and implements Rogue-like/Rogue-lite elements, then I’m willing to give it a go. That’s exactly the case for Heading Out,…
