The Bench Coming to February Next Fest

I’ve joked off and on that based on my gaming choices like Supermarket Simulator, Powerwash Simulator, and Lawnmowing Simulator that I am a “childless father”. I like a good dad game, the kind of old-man experience that’s just relaxing. Now, I think…

Marvel Rivals Needs These Characters

Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals and it has once again rekindled my love for the characters and storylines I grew up reading about. While the main roster for the game is incredibly solid, it’s always fun to speculate…

Tiny Garden gets April Release Date

The world can be a scary and strange place. Scary due to things going on in the world that are out of our control, and strange due to things that rarely (or never) happen, like snow on the Texas coast. Whether you’re…

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (PC) Review

One of the first great classic franchises I remember watching with my grandfather was Indiana Jones. We sat and watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when I was young, and it inspired a thrill of adventure that never quite left…

Cuisineer (Xbox Series X) Review

I’m not a complicated person. Can you give me a game where I can hunt for resources, craft items, make money, and improve my gear? I’m totally in. Now, if you throw in restaurant management simulation elements and a cast of cozy,…

EA Origin set to be shut down in April

It goes without saying, this idea of an all-digital future is pretty crap. One minute you might have created a nice little living out of an online platform for it to disappear soon after, and in one case return shortly after thanking…
