Review: Mia and the Dragon Princess Is Schlock, Full of Missed Opportunities
I’m still old enough that I remember when full motion video (or FMV) was a novel addition to games. FMV mostly gave way to the use of computer generated cutscenes, […]
Review: Ten Dates Is a Fun, Stress-Free Way to Enjoy Valentine’s Day from Your Couch
It’s Valentine’s Day and no matter where you fall on the spectrum from “absolutely against” to “bring on the glittery hearts,” it’s unavoidable. All around us strawberries are being dipped, […]

Review: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Has Fantastic Combat, but Suffers from a Rough Launch

While some co-op video games test the boundaries of friendship, playing on the couch with a buddy or significant other is one of my favorite types of video game playing. […]

Review: The Last Hero of Nostalgaia Is a Soulslike that Tries Something New: Humor
