Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher (Switch) Review

Doctor Who “The Power Of The Doctor” – Review

I’m glad I’m seeing the back of him, and I don’t think I am the only one to be pleased with the end of Christopher Antony Chibnall’s run with Doctor Who. It was exposition heavy, so “woke” that nearly every gay character is…

Pac-Man World Re-Pac (Switch) Review

When Pac-Man World came out on the Sony PlayStation in 1999, one of my parents rented it from Blockbuster for me to play. I must have rented that game a dozen times after that over the span of probably several years. I…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 8 Review

The finale episode of Rings of Power hopes to resolve many of the current plot threads. This episode is suitably titled, “Alloyed.” The story turns once again to Nori and her Harfoot friends as they track the Stranger, while he is hunted…

Cult of the Lamb Gets New Limited-Time Event

Cult of the Lamb is the perfect sort of game to play this week. A little on the spooky side, but so cute your teeth might fall out. It is a good balance of sugary sweet and spooky, perfect for Halloween. It…

Gas Station Simulator (XBO) – Review

Winding from Chicago to Los Angeles, the perfect place for your gas station is on the mother road of western expansion amid the late-mid 20th Century. I’ve waxed poetic about the roads that sing with music across the US in my American Truck Sim review,…
