Curious Expedition
When I saw the trailer for Curious Expedition, I knew something interesting was going on here. Don’t get me wrong, being a season gaming veteran of the industry, I understood firmly that, and I know you’ll find this shocking, trailers are pure marketing. Still, there was something innocent and wholesome about picking an explorer, surviving as long as you can, and doing it all over again in a pixel...[Read More]

TSIOQUE
If the Last Unicorn had a sense of humor, I think we would have had TSIOQUE a long time ago. It looks and feels as cool and ominous as TLU. Sans Jeff Bridges. And Mia Farrow. OhNoo Studio put together a unique point and click adventure that is as difficult as it is beautiful. A hand-drawn game, TSIOQUE puts you in control of a young adventurer that has been trapped by an evil wizard’s castle. Your...[Read More]
Detective Gallo
I’ll be quite frank and honest with you, I’ve been underwhelmed by the Nintendo Switch’s design, as it feels more like a glorified and prettier Wii U gamepad, with the awkward thumbsticks from the Wii U still intact, than it does a normal gaming system when it comes to controls and such. While I loved games like Wolfenstein for the Switch, I’m not sure I could play Wolfenstein without the use of t...[Read More]

Thimbleweed Park Thimbleweed Park PS4 Review
Thimbleweed Park surprised me in a multitude of ways. After going without viewing any sort of trailers or reviews of the game, I was almost expecting some sort of 8-bit, point and click X-Files game with an emphasis on the paranormal. While it certainly delivers on that part, what I did not expect was it’s masterful implementation of humor and wit. Throughout my time with Thimbleweed Park, I was c...[Read More]

Demetrios – The Big Cynical Adventure Review
I feel like I’ve been torturing myself this week with point and click games. When I say ‘torturing’, I mean giving myself a good challenge, not actually hating the experience. My first game I have been tackling this week, which is still in progress, is Full-Throttle Remastered for iOS. It was and has been as difficult as I remember it being from the 90s. With lots of puzzles to figure out and thin...[Read More]

Four months into the Thimbleweed Park murder investigation, the oddball residents of this remote town still aren’t too bothered by that dead body pixelating under the bridge. Why not? Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 owners will soon find out! As revealed on the PlayStation Blog, the ...[Read More]
