Rubato (PC) Review

Platformers have been going strong for decades, but there’s somehow still untapped potential. All it takes is a solid game mechanic, a unique art style, or a fine-tuned difficulty to reel players in to the tried-and-true formula. One look at the trailer…

Don’t Stop, Girlypop! (PC) – Review

I can say one thing with absolute certainty. Don’t Stop, Girlypop! isn’t something to play while sick and feeling a bit dizzy. To call Funny Fintan Softworks’ glitter-covered FPS maximalist would be an understatement, going for the most 90s-to-early-2000s aesthetic possible in…

Ugly Betty “Icing on the Cake” – Review

“I’ve killed once, I’ll kill again,” do we count that as bury your gays?. For his one and only episode of Ugly Betty, Jeff Melman directs the 17th episode. Melman has done a lot of directorial work, including Community, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate…

Ready or Not: Boiling Point (PC) – Review

The year is 2028, the Los Angeles facsimile that is Los Sueños is on fire, there are riots in the streets, and the city government has become overly militarized. A bit like normal Los Angeles, but with people actually doing something about…

Ugly Betty “Derailed” – Review

“You’re not here to stitch, you’re here to snitch… [continued by Marc] she needs information, bitch!” Finally, a Christina and Justin-focused episode, I’m all here for it! Directed by James Hayman, it is kind of upsetting me how quickly we’re getting through…

Resident Evil Village Gold Edition (Switch 2) Review

Resident Evil is a staple in horror gaming, and few franchises have seen the highs and the lows of the series. Everyone has their favorite, and of course, the new remakes of a few of the earlier entries certainly make the beginning chapters…

Poker Night at the Inventory (Nintendo Switch) Review

Released in 2010 and removed from sale nine years later, Poker Night at the Inventory felt like a game everyone with a Steam account owned. Utilizing characters from the Sam & Max, Homestar Runner, Penny Arcade, and Team Fortress franchises, this Telltale Games title…

Ugly Betty “Brothers” – Review

“Scandal, and sex change, and murder – oh my!” thanks Tim, that opening line sums up Ugly Betty as a whole. Misgivings about the title aside, series-long producer Sheila Lawrence takes her second credit following the wonderful “Fey’s Sleigh Ride” after some…

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Gold Edition (Switch 2) Review

Capcom is on a tear with its Resident Evil series. From remakes to new entries, the last decade has been a masterclass in maintaining a franchise’s high points while innovating for the future of where the games can go. After Resident Evil 5 and 6 failed…
