Review – The Sinking City
Lovecraft is someone often imitated but never matched. A significant number of games have lifted from his mythos to different levels of success, but there's something intransferable about his storytelling. The Sinking City is an interesting take on his brand of horror, but it winds up a very mixed bag.

Review – Resident Evil: Revelations
Back around when Resident Evil: Revelations was first released on the 3DS, some were hailing it as a return to horror (I have the receipts and everything). It's not that. It's not bad, either, but if this is only horror if you have a mortal fear of hickies.

Review – Black Bird
Yoshiro Kimura and his cohorts have my eternal gratitude for Chulip. So, I don't think there's any situation where I wouldn't be willing to try something new from them. Black Bird is a pretty far cry from promiscuous smooching, but that's okay. At least in this case.

Review – Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is among the most successful cozy games in the niche, and for the most part, I love it. However, it's like a glass of milk; it's very enjoyable at first, but if you sit with it too long, it starts to smell and you don't want to drink it.

Review – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
I stopped following the Resident Evil series after the disappointment that was Resident Evil 5. I didn't stop caring, though, so I was happy to see it return to horror. And Resident Evil 7 is a good time, just, you know, barring a few problems I had with it.

Review – The Manga Works
I like to consider myself a writer. Sometimes. Not a manga writer, but I craft stories. Not right now, this... this is just conversational writing. But I still stay perched in front of my craft for unhealthy amounts of time each day, just like what is conveyed in The Manga Works.

Review – Metal Max 2 Reloaded
I am so hot for the Metal Max series. Mmm, that is one enticing progression of games. But, like, none of them have been localized. So, in the face of an unfair, uncaring world, I've had to turn to the depraved world of fan translations for Metal Max 2 Reloaded.

Review – Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Nazis are easily some of the most fun-to-kill bad guys in video games. This goes back well before Wolfenstein 3D, but the series has really run with it. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a step back from the tech Nazis of The New Order but feels weirdly fresh.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – La-Mulana
Completing La-Mulana without a guide is a feat of strength. That's probably why I couldn't do it. After an unsuccessful run some years ago, I tried again on another console and with a begrudged willingness to get outside help. It went a lot better this time.
