REVIEW – MOLE
Sometimes you just want to crawl into a hole, and that's what MOLE is all about. Except it's a spooky hole. One that talks to people and makes them feel bad things. Navigate your giant drill deep into the Earth and tell it to stop.

Batman: Assault on Arkham (with guest Rose) – Spin-Offs Classic
Back when Warner Bros. used to make stuff, there was a push for cross-platform media to support the Big Things being made as a sort of event. It was standard practice for big companies to send video games out, not to die, but to thrive with an assault on every platform. Maybe you walk past the game aisle and see…

Review – Astronook
As my son’s obsession with all things space and planets continues to grow, I keep my eye open for games that might allow him to explore what he loves even deeper. Astronook caught my attention because it’s a so-called “cozy” experience, which definitely sounds perfect for a three-year-old. I’ll tell you what’s not cozy: trying to solve way-too-intense connect-the-dot puzzles…

Review – R-Type Dimensions III
R-Type is a series with remarkable consistency. You can ask a group of fans what their favourite title is and almost every entry will be represented.

Review – Star Fox 64 3D
When news about Star Fox for the Switch 2 dropped, I immediately messaged Zoey and told her I was going to review it when it drops later this year. But if I’m gonna do a review of the game justice, I’ll have to refresh my memory of Star Fox 64. It had been a long time since I played it,…

Review – Star Fox 64
Ooo, Star Fox 64. A landmark title for the N64. There's a reason that Nintendo keeps going back to remake it for newer consoles. Actually, there are numerous reasons, but most strikingly, it's because they apparently don't have anyone who can write an actually new space opera. But also because it's a great little rail shooter that is hard to…
