Reus 2 Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
I haven’t played God like this since Electronic Arts released Populous on the Sega Genesis. It’s good to be back to godhood. Reus 2, from developer Abbey Games and publisher Firesquid Games, allows players to play as a god. Or two. Or more. Players create worlds using different gods that add their own spice to planets (not Dune spice), while cultivating and building civilizations that produce vary...[Read More]
Keys of Fury: Typing Action (PC)
I’m getting some Kung Fu Master vibes from this. I can dig those vibes. Keys of Fury, from developer Elecorn, is an interesting typing-led action game. It takes the concept of a retro-style 2D arcade game and adds an exciting gameplay element: typing. The typing portion of the game is what it’s really about, and the game’s challenge is pushed forward by gradually difficult words to spell in a shor...[Read More]
Hyperkin The Competitor Controller (PC/Xbox)
Sometimes it doesn’t take a $200 SCUF controller to enjoy a gameplay session. Sometimes a $49.99 controller is just fine. Well, Hyperkin has just that controller for you with The Competitor. This $49.99 wonder features hall effect thumbsticks, impulse triggers (for that extra immersion), a programmable backend, and just enough customizable grip to make it seem like you’ve got a fancy controller. W...[Read More]
Demonschool Review (PS5)
A little bit of tactical gaming never hurt anyone. Demonschool from developer Necrosoft Games was released on November 19th on PC and consoles, and has been surprisingly entertaining the last week or so, as I reviewed it. Touted as a tactical isometric role-playing game, this turned into more of a tactical turn-based experience with a fun story, rather than a gradual progression RPG. That’s not a ...[Read More]
News Tower Review (PC)
Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine liking a newspaper simulator. But it’s 2025, and weirder shit has certainly happened. I’m happy with this weird. News Tower from developer Sparrow Night and publisher Twin Sails Interactive came out of nowhere this holiday season, and just in time. The game puts players in the shoes of a budding newspaper tycoon, who is left with the unfortunate task of r...[Read More]
Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition Review (Console)
It has been quite a blast from the past this week with Atari. The first item of interest was Atari 50’s The Namco Legendary Pack DLC, which was reviewed earlier today. The second, and this current review, is of the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition, a recently released special edition Atari 2600+ console that celebrates 40+ years of Pac-Man with a special edition system and a special edition Pac-Man car...[Read More]
Atari 50 – The NAMCO Legendary Pack DLC Review (PS5)
The video game history-loving side of me is thrilled that Atari is continuing its expansion of the Atari 50 series. To date, it has hit all the right notes when it comes to providing background information about the games I grew up with in the ’80s and, sadly, the ‘90s. It has delivered on its promises, even when the games and systems were rubbish. What’s not rubbish is the latest DLC releas...[Read More]
The Jackbox Party Pack 11 Review (PlayStation 5)
For the last few releases, it seems like Jackbox has had an uphill battle to find a fresh set of games that stick. For me, I thought Jackbox Party Pack 7 was the last great pack released. It felt like it had everything I wanted and a bit more, as I still play that party pack occasionally with the fam and at work. You gotta have fun during work, right? Totally right. Anyway, my point with this ra...[Read More]

Following on from collaborations with iconic franchises like Explosm’s Cyanide and Happiness, and Double Dragon, Cowboy Bebop is the latest IP to make it...[Read More]

Spindle Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
You can call me old if you want, but this is my jam for action-RPG-style games. Spindle from developer Let’s GameDev and publisher Deck 13 was released a few weeks ago on the Nintendo Switch, and I was assured that this was a Zelda-esque type of experience. That is a tall order to meet, considering the epic-ness of that classic franchise. What came out of that experience was exactly what was assur...[Read More]
