Roadwarden (PC) Review
Text-based RPGs have never been “my jam,” as I suspect the youth would say. I didn’t grow up in what I think of as the genre’s “golden age” a few decades ago, so perhaps that’s why I’ve never gone out of my…

Astro Bot (PS5) Review
I wrote an article back when I first got my PS5 about how Astro’s Playroom was probably the best usage of the PlayStation 5 and its Dualsense Controller that I had ever seen. I really loved Astro’s Playroom, but to my surprise,…
Another Crab’s Treasure (PC) – Review
It all depends on your definition of a Souls-like, but Another Crab’s Treasure places itself among the pantheon of imitations despite lacking one of the defining traits of the genre. Released early in the year, Aggro Crab’s second game takes place down…
Lower Decks “Fully Dilated” – Review
Penis, bums, and willies, or are we just saying the double entendres are not intentional in an episode called “Fully Dilated”? Directed by Megan Lloyd again, I know before I see more than a minute of the episode that we’re going to…

Football Manager 2024 (PC) – Review
Despite storming the field when the team won but wasn’t promoted in 2003, then having season tickets right behind the dugout in the new stadium the year following and beyond, I was never a big fan of whatever you call “the beautiful…
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (Movie) Review
Last Thursday, I went with friends to see The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. All of us who went to see it were there for a variety of reasons; I am a big fan of The Lord of…
Lower Decks “Of Gods and Angels” – Review
So what exactly happened to Captain Carrol? Directed by Brandon Williams, this is his penultimate episode before we cover “Fissure Quest” towards the end of Lower Decks. I’ve previously covered what Williams has done in his other episode of the season, “The…
Lies of P (PC) – Second Opinion Review
We all know the story of Timothée Chalamet and Jiminy (or Gemini in-game) Cricket in the story from Italian writer Carlo Collodi, right? So I am sure I don’t have to explain in great detail the plot of Neowiz Games and Round8…
Black One Blood Brothers (PC) – Preview
Let’s play the usual game of me talking about a tactical shooter/military sim, while also notably being quite vocal on the after-action reports of real-world missions. If we’re one thing as humans, we’re contradictions. Something that sounds like a contradiction is a…
