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…

Capcom Showcase Recap

There have been a lot of conferences already, from the big ones like Summer Game Fest to the smaller ones like Future Games Show. As exciting as they’ve all been, the one I’ve been keenly looking forward to has been the Capcom…

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…

Mini Maker: Make a Thing Gets Release Date

Last year, I covered the announcement of Mini Maker: Make a Thing. I love games that aren’t afraid to be shamelessly weird, while also letting people be creative. Mini Maker has this vibe in spades, and now there is exciting news! Casa…

Roots of Dread Releases on Dead by Daylight

On June 7th, a new nightmare arrived to Dead by Daylight! The Roots of Dread chapter has been released just before the 6th Anniversary of the game, and fans seem to be loving it! At the time of writing, the DLC has…

Planet Zoo to Get Conservation Expansion

Regrettably, I have not gotten around to playing Planet Zoo. I love simulation games, especially ones where I can (accidentally) cause the animal-induced maiming of non-sentient humanoids. Yes, I would make a terrible deity. Anyhow, Planet Zoo is getting new content for…
