Ghost Trick: The Phantom Detective Review
After having previewed the first few levels of Ghost Trick: The Phantom Detective a month or so ago, I walked away impressed thinking that the full version had plenty of potential. I’m happy to report that the full version is beyond what I expected. It’s far more challenging, logically unforgiving with its puzzle execution, and entertaining as hell with its serious, yet whack-a-doodle storyline. I...[Read More]
Dave the Diver Review
I wasn’t sure about Dave the Diver. The whole concept of diving into an ocean, spear-fishing animals, and then taking them back to cook at a sushi restaurant was sus at best. It seemed complicated on paper and initially felt like maybe the game was juggling too many genres at once. I mean, how in the world could a game do so many things so well without skimming in some gameplay design? There is no...[Read More]

Escape Academy – Escape from the Past DLC Review
It feels like it has been forever since I last played Escape Academy. If you’re not familiar with the game, it’s made by developer Coin Crew Games, who turned around their pandemic-hurt in-person escape room experiences into a video game so people can continue to figure out tough puzzles…while yelling at each other. Anyway, they did a helluva job replicating the experience and seemed to be success...[Read More]
Pixel Ripped 1978 Review (PSVR2)
I like this new Atari. It’s like they’re trying. I can’t say that for the last 19 Atari’s since Warner Communications sold them off, but this variant is taking some old ideas and implementing them into a new groove. They have released some good stuff in the past two years. At least they’re not just republishing old material. A lot of companies tend to do that without thought. Anyway, the new Atari...[Read More]
