David’s Backlog Busting: The Roottrees are Dead

Breaking news at the top of the hour this morning: The Roottrees are Dead, and someone made a video game about that. As part of my endeavors to make a dent in my game backlog, I’ve had a look at said video…

Eureka “Maneater” – Review

It’s my favorite Frankie Ward joke! Directed by Michael Robinson, this is Robinson’s only episode of the season and second of the show after “Before I forget.” His one episode next season is one that’s much easier to remember, though, directing Nick…

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar (PC) Review

Story of Seasons, formerly known as Harvest Moon, is one of the most consistent simulation franchises in gaming. As we see more and more farming and community-centric games flood the shelves, it’s hard to say that Story of Seasons isn’t still one of the…

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots (PC) Review

I have been a fan of the Hot Shots Golf (Everybody’s Golf in other regions) franchise since the PS2-Era. I got hooked on the simplified golf gameplay and the gameplay loop of unlocking new characters, clubs, balls, and costumes. Now, Everybody’s Golf:…

Cue the idea of a dad being happy his teenage daughter is quiet for once. Directed by Mike Rohl, he’s still only done odd Hallmark nonsense and lots of TV shows that are just a bit poo, like Supernatural. Now I have annoyed…

Zefyr: A Thief’s Melody (PC) Review

Nostalgic gaming is still going strong in 2025. Whether it be the aptly-named Merchant 64 coming straight from a time capsule, or Ruffy and the Riverside capturing Paper Mario of all things, players almost beckon for these new iterations to wear their inspirations on their sleeves to…

Madden NFL 26 (Xbox Series X) Review

Unlike the overall indifference I felt playing EA College Football 26 this year, a lot about Madden NFL 26 feels like a nice step forward. Much of the marketing around this year’s gameplay changes has focused on enabling players to feel like they really pop,…

Catto’s Post Office (PC) Review

Sometimes, short and sweet experiences are all you need to get a boost of serotonin. Sure, some long games are great, but sometimes a nice, chill experience is more than enough. Catto’s Post Office is a calm, relaxing experience. I like cats,…
