    Review – The Typing of the Dead

    Zoey Handley / July 9, 2025 / No Comments

    Do your finger exercised, elevate your wrists, put your feet flat on the ground, and get read to type at some zombies. Typing of the Dead takes the zombie-killing gameplay of House of the Dead 2 and perverts it in ways that nature didn't intend: by adding typing.

    Retro-Bit’s next Genesis reproduction is the formerly Japan-Only Undeadline

    Zoey Handley / July 8, 2025 / No Comments

    Ever heard of Undeadline? Me neither. Maybe because it was never released in North America. Now it's happening, because Retro-Bit has selected it as their next Genesis/Mega Drive reproduction. Let's learn together!

    Review – Irem Collection Volume 3

    Zoey Handley / July 6, 2025 / 1 Comment

    It's a good time for arcade collections! I lied, it isn't. PS2 was where it was at when arcade collections would have, like, 30 titles on them, and you could always find them in the bargain bin. Contrary to that, here's Irem Collection Volume 3.

    Yes, you should play bad games

    Zoey Handley / July 1, 2025 / 3 Comments

    Budgeting your time and money so you can fit in as many "good" games as possible before you die is boring. There are so many ways that you can enhance your understanding and appreciation of games by deliberately playing the bad ones. Let me explain...

    Review – Shadows of the Empire

    Zoey Handley / June 28, 2025 / 1 Comment

    It smells like early N64 in here. I must be Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. What a match! A brand new hyped up console getting hyped up by a game made to hype up a latent movie franchise. But, you know what? It worked. Mostly.

    Review – System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster

    Zoey Handley / June 26, 2025 / 3 Comments

    I never played System Shock 2. I’ve thought about it. Some people that I respect really dig it. However, some people that I respect dig the spiritual successor, Bioshock, and I don’t really care for that series. However, back in 2023, I reviewed the System Shock remake for Destructoid, and I really enjoyed it. I think I mostly enjoyed the…

    Old wounds and making sense of Swery

    Jonathan Holmes / June 18, 2025 / 2 Comments

    “I don’t believe that the sheep you’re talking about was named after you.” That isn’t a direct quote. It’s something I remember the interpreter for Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro (Deadly Premonition, Dark Dreams Don’t Die, The Good Life, The Missing) saying to me at dinner about a month ago. So it’s possible that I have some of the details wrong, but…

    Review – The Museum of Anything Goes

    Zoey Handley / June 17, 2025 / 2 Comments

    I’m not sure if I can adequately prepare you for how bizarre The Museum of Anything Goes is. Let me first take you back to 1995. While the operating system was superseded that year, the important thing to know about Windows 3.1 was that it wasn’t a platform for video games. At the time, most games ran natively on DOS.…

    Review – The Procession to Calvary

    Zoey Handley / June 12, 2025 / No Comments

    While Four Last Things centred around sin and the joy of sinning and how great sins are, The Procession to Calvary zooms in a bit closer to focus in on a subset of wrath: murder. My favourite thing! I assume it’s the favourite thing of most gamers. Most games have us indiscriminately murder people without worrying about who’s going to…

    Preview – No, I’m Not a Human

    Zoey Handley / June 11, 2025 / No Comments

    The whole “uncanny valley” horror antagonist is so pervasive that I nearly dismissed No, I’m Not a Human based on its Steam capsule art. Misproportioned limbs, stretched out visages; that sort of thing. But No, I’m Not a Human isn’t just streamer bait. I mean, if it is, it’s really depressing streamer bait. And not depressing as in, “Entertainment is…
