METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER (PC) – Review

Historically, talking about the plot in a Metal Gear Solid review sounds like a politician after a particularly risky scandal. The very first game takes place in 1995, the second in 1997-99, Metal Gear Solid was set in 2005, MGS 2 takes…

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (PS5) Review

Every so often, I get the itch to try a Souls-like. I want so badly to like the genre, but currently, Elden Ring and Blasphemous are really the only two that scratch the right itch for me. Part of it is an…

Eureka “Sight Unseen” – Review

Moon rocks did 9/11! Directed by Donna Deitch, I might as well stop there, as she directed single episodes of Eureka, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, and Heroes, as well as a handful of Law & Order: SVU and Private Practice. “Try, Try Again”…

Is This Seat Taken (PC) Review

I love logic puzzles. Beyond that, I love games that make me think, but also leave a warm, fuzzy feeling at the end. Is This Seat Taken? feels like a nice daydream, or a film you watch with the family just to…

Warhammer 40K: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance (PC) Review

Warning: The subject of this review contains depictions of graphic violence and pixelated gore. Reader discretion is advised. Science said it couldn’t be done, and yet here it is. Auroch Digital first turned Warhammer 40,000 into a retro-style boomer shooter in the…

Hello Kitty Island Adventure (Nintendo Switch) Review

I’m going to make a very controversial statement with this review. If you told me that Sanrio would crack the code to making an actual competitor to Animal Crossing, I’d have told you that you were crazy. However, aside from Disney Dreamlight…

The Wandering Village (Xbox Series X) Review

We’re in the heart of August as I write this review, and a few things are starting to call to me as summer winds down. I read more this time of year, try new recipes, and always hunt for a sim game…

The Delight of Incremental Gaming

Gaming is usually about winning. The definition of “winning” being subjective, it’s not just about “beating” the game; there are tons of small victories to be had, depending on the genre. With the feeling of success hanging in the balance of keeping…

David’s Retro Rewind: Papa’s Freezeria Deluxe

That’s right, folks! My Retro Rewind series has been resurrected! I’ve noticed that tons of games from yesteryear have been making their way onto Steam in droves for quite a while now. I decided to use that as an excuse to revive…

Eureka “E = MC… ?” – Review

Oh, lovely, like the theoretical sciences, I get to break one of our rules here. Directed by Tim Mattheson, he was once the Vice President and arguably had a better character than anyone currently in politics. We get a very weird crossover…
