Aphelion Preview (PC)
It has been a long time since I left a preview immediately wanting more, but here we are. Aphelion from developer and publisher DON’T NOD is an interesting survival adventure game that takes the best of what has been done with Horizon Zero Dawn and Tomb Raider, and wraps it in a gorgeous winter, science fiction backdrop. In addition, the narrative seems rich with promising details and well-defined...[Read More]
Routine Review (Xbox Series X)
Space. Horror. Puzzles. Space-horror-puzzles. SPACEHORRORPUZZLES. I think a new genre name has been invented. Routine, developed by Lunar Software and published by Raw Fury, is a survival horror game of sorts that borrows its controls from the original Resident Evil game, its scares from Dead Space, and its uncomfortable environment from Alien: Isolation. Combined, players get a game that is buil...[Read More]
Dune: Awakening Review (PC)
My only long-term exposure to Dune and its lore was through a failed David Lynch film, an RTS from the 90s (so good), and the more recent films (long-winded, but worth it). I did try to read Frank Herbert’s novels, so that I could understand more context with each house and its underlying tone, but my lack of concentration and focus always led my brain astray. In short, everything I know about Dun...[Read More]

Labyrinth of the Demon King Review (PS5)
I’m old. My first system was an Atari 2600 VCS made back in 1977. I have come a long way with video games, traveled the good and the bad (and even survived the great collapse) gaming roads, and certainly seen some shit in my day. Take the CD-I, for example. No, seriously, take it and bury it next to E.T., as it needs to be underground and never seen again. Hotel Mario, seriously? *AHEM* My point i...[Read More]
Days Gone Remastered Review (PS5)
Sometimes when you review games, you can miss big releases because you’re swamped with other things, also, because better reviewers are reviewing the material. Anyhoo, this time around, I caught a game in its second go-around, and I have some unbiased thoughts, which are hard to come by when you’re discussing Days Gone. Days Gone Remastered, from developer Sony Bend, has brought back one of the bi...[Read More]

Rogue Piñatas: VRmageddon Review (Meta Quest)
This might have been the best $24.99 game I’ve purchased on the Meta Quest not called Beat Saber. Not a joke. Rogue Piñatas: VRmageddon from developer Nerd Ninjas is an interesting virtual reality experience. The devs took the Call of Duty Zombies blueprint and replaced all the scary places and undead peeps with something far more terrifying – colorful environments and vicious piñatas. No, I’m not...[Read More]
