Though you can track the origins of reality TV back to the 1940s with radio and short films for TV, the 70s and 80s spawned something closer to what we know now. However, it wasn’t until John de Mol Jr created the…

Vampire Therapist (PC) Review
Editor’s Note: Vampire Therapist contains mature themes related to mental health and is not suited for all audiences. I am very picky when it comes to visual novels or narrative-focused games. However, now and then a game will come across my inbox…
The Star Named EOS (Nintendo Switch) Review
A video game’s ability to use a real-world medium for creativity and artistry as a key gameplay mechanic can be tricky to pull off. That said, photography has proved to be one such medium that translates well to a video game. In The…

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) Review
Nintendo’s 2024 releases have been a real blast from the past. From Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, we’re getting the full nostalgia treatment for the late lifecycle Nintendo Switch. I’m fine with that, especially when old experiences are repackaged and…
Nobody Wants to Die (PC) – Review
Set in a semi-far-flung future that is clearly inspired by either Philip K Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or Ridley Scott’s film adaptation, Blade Runner. Nobody Wants to Die wants to bring a touch more retro-futurism to this age of…
