Zoey Handley
Zoey made up for her mundane childhood by playing video games. Now she won't shut up about them. Her eclectic tastes have worried many. Don't come to close, or she'll shove some weird indie or retro game in your face. It's better to not make eye contact. Cross the street if you see her coming.

Preview – Shoe It All
Did you ever do that thing where you kick off your shoe while you're on a swing to try and out-distance your friends? If so, I've got a demo for you to try. If not, I've got a demo for you to try.

Review – Wolfenstein: The New Order
It's always a great time for some denazification. MachineGames has been working hard to ensure that they stay at the very peak of the hobby, giving us games like Wolfenstein: The New Order. Alternate history may be bleak, but at least there are lots of targets walking around.

Review – Spy Hunter (Console, 2001)
Suffer a tale of hormones. Learn of the shocking link between Spy Hunter (2001) and Beetle Adventure Racing. See a review score. It's all here in this nail-biting look at Midway's attempt at refreshing an (at that point) 20-year-old arcade game.

Review – Hotel Barcelona
There's a lot to love about Suda51 and Swery. For example, No More Heroes and Deadly Premonition. So, what happens when you put them together? What happens when you form a game designer supergroup? Hotel Barcelona, apparently! Unfortunately.

Review – Stranglehold
Ever watched Hard Boiled? I haven't. But while Stranglehold is billed as something of a sequel to that movie, I'm not sure knowledge of its plot is really necessary. Regardless, we all love firefights full of slow motion and rib-breaking dives.

Review – Butter Side Down
Do you love operating systems? You bet, you do! Do you enjoy using operating systems while working for a soul-sucking corporation? You bet, you do! I don't remember what point I was trying to make, so here's Butter Side Down, instead.

Review – Easy Delivery Co.
I love snow. Not a huge fan of winter because it gets really dark really early, but that’s the tradeoff for snow. I love how snow hides things. Heavy snow hides the horizon. Fresh fallen snow hides the sounds of the city. Deep snow is perfect for temporarily hiding bodies. When a winter storm kicks up, I wish it would…

Review – Seek and Destroy (PS2)
Conspiracy Entertainment’s spree of localization of the Choro-Q series is bizarre. Choro-Q is a brand of toy car. In North America, they were sold as Penny Racers, but I honestly don’t remember ever seeing them in my childhood. However, I guess they have some manner of ubiquity in Japan, since there was a series of games based on them until…

Two Kunio-Kun classics are finally being localized for NES by Retro-Bit
Oh, this is right up my alley. Retro-Bit has announced the next in their line-up of retro reproductions. This time, they’re bringing over two games that are near and dear to me from the expansive Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun/Downtown/River City series. The games in question are Nekketsu Kakutō Densetsu and Nekketsu Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes, which are being localized as River City…

Review – No, I’m not a Human
People aren’t my favourite people. Every person brings unnecessary complications into my life, and I’m too empathetic to just focus on myself. So, I’m not the most social person, and neither is the protagonist of No, I’m not a Human. But while I still make connections with others, because that’s life, and you gotta, the protagonist of No, I’m not…
