Comic Book Corner- Eight Billion Genies

Eight Billion Genies is a series I had been interested in checking out for some time, as it was highly praised on release. The series is only an eight-issue miniseries, so it’s perfect for someone looking for a self-contained narrative or a…

Eureka “Games People Play” – Review

Noise complaint? I’ll tell you about a noise complaint. Yesterday, I was trying to sleep and some bint was rattling her car horn like a banshee outside my bedroom window to the attention of no one in particular. I wanted to rip…

Insurgency: Sandstorm (PC) Review

I need to provide a disclaimer up front. I’m going to make quite a lot of comparisons to Team Fortress 2 during the following discussion of Insurgency: Sandstorm. I don’t exactly go out of my way to find new competitive, team-based first-person…

Tamagotchi Plaza (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

While I was a huge fan of the Digimon franchise as a kid, I didn’t have a huge interest in what the IP originally spun off of: Tamagotchi. I was definitely in the minority, seeing as over 40 million pocket devices with little digital…

Oh goody, time to review a game that couldn’t possibly offend anyone or be interpreted as any kind of commentary on the current geopolitical situation at the time of writing. Let’s see what we have here: Re-Legion is a cyberpunk RTS where…

Eureka “Unpredictable” – Review

Well, I wish the title of the episode was accurate. I’d have an easier time shooting fish in Lake Tahoe with a shotgun from the moon than digging out decent credits from this writer-director combo. D3: The Mighty Ducks director Robert Lieberman helms…

A Long Way Down (PC) Review

Considering the facts that I’m terrified of heights and that my disability considerably increases my risk of falling, I never want to be told I’m in for “a long way down.” The current game in my sights doesn’t exactly lend itself to…

HammerHelm (PC) Review

Given my physical stature and my tendency to let my beard grow unchecked for months at a time, I often jokingly refer to myself among friends as “king of the Dwarves.” Thus, when I learned about HammerHelm’s existence, I felt compelled to…

Islanders – New Shores (PC) Review

The original Islanders was a revelation for me. That may sound strange, but prior to the release of Dorfromantik, Islanders was a relaxing game that I could play to challenge myself while also enjoying a low-impact puzzle game experience. Playable entirely with…
