Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile (PC) Review

The story of Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile is iconic. It is one of her more famous works, spawning numerous films and adaptations. It is fairly obvious that Microids’ Studio Lyon would adapt it in one of their games in the…

Strange Antiquities (PC) Review

I loved Strange Horticulture when I played it a year or so ago. Something about the cozy, relaxed nature of identifying plants, with eldritch, spooky elements thrown in, just made for a nice time. Now, the developers have tickled my urge to…

Fae Farm Acquired by Video Game Collective

I was deeply saddened when I saw a myriad of Fae Farm fans lamenting the impending closure of its online play. The sight of it brought back memories of the closure of Marvel Heroes, and other online community-based games that I had…

House Flipper’s Switch Version Gets Farm DLC

One of my biggest issues with House Flipper for years has been its lack of Switch DLC. Because the Nintendo Switch DLC was done by a different studio, Frozen District mostly left the Switch version behind for a while. Now, this injustice…

NBA 2K26 (Xbox Series X) Review

Reviewing an NBA 2K game is, surprisingly, something I’ve been doing formally for nearly a decade. As a keen consumer of any sports game on the market, NBA 2K has always been the best overall offering, even if I have my own personal preferences.…

Shantae Advance: Risky’s Revolution (PC) Review

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…

Game Inspired by Twisted Metal Launches Kickstarter

There’s a lot of nostalgia for Twisted Metal right now, thanks to the absolutely better-than-it-ought-to-be Peacock show. While Sony hasn’t decided the Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz-led show is enough to green-light a new game, one independent studio in Canada is gearing up…

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Gets Launch Trailer

The Shinobi franchise has always been a “fun, but hard” thing for me. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy the ride anyway. Now, with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance on the horizon, I’m more excited than ever to play Joe Musashi’s…

Bye Sweet Carole Gets Spooky Release Date

We’re entering the time of year where summer gives way to my favorite time of year, spooky season. Screw summer beaches, give me vampires, ghouls, and cooler weather. Now, the developer of Bye Sweet Carole, Little Sewing Machine, has revealed its release…
