Doctor Who “The Giggle” – Review

“Vowld vide premiere!” The number of times I’ve heard NPH say those words, you’d think I was crazy. For the final special with Tennant and Tate, until the next Chibnall episode that needs to be drastically recovered from, Russell is once again…

News Tower Gets Early Access Launch Date

A while ago I wrote a news piece on News Tower, an upcoming newspaper management sim. All has been quiet on the update front for a while, but the silence has come to an end. Now, thanks to an update by developer…

“Don’t Sniff Your Steam Deck,” Says Valve

The Day Before Dev Shutdown Days After Release

One of the most recent examples of ambition, hype, and dreadful development, The Day Before is a case study of what not to do with a game. The “MMO” was announced back in 2021 with a gameplay trailer showing the basic mechanics, and was…

The Talos Principle II (PC) Review

The Talos Principle is by far one of the most brain-melting First-Person puzzle games I’ve ever played. Not out of its puzzle difficulty, though it does have some difficult puzzles, but out of the philosophical and psychological topics it covers. What makes…
