Preview – Promise Mascot Agency
Paradise Killer is an indie gem, and we're currently looking down the barrel of Kaizen Game Works' follow-up, Promise Mascot Agency. It's simultaneously weirder than you're expecting, while also being grounded in a lot of satisfying ways. You'll be seeing the demo during the February 2025 Steam Next Fest.

Review – The Rocky Horror Show Video Game (2024)
Do you have some toast on hand to throw at the screen? It's time to look at the subversive impact that the Rocky Horror Picture Show had, illustrated through a personal anecdote. The best kind of anecdote. Also, if there's time, there may be some words on the recent game.

Review – Keep Driving
I'm still on a quest to find the perfect road trip game. I wouldn't have expected an attempt at the concept from the Post Void devs, but that's exactly what Keep Driving is. Taking inspiration from The Oregon Trail, it's maybe not how I envision my ideal road trip, but it's close.

Review – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is such an unusual influential game. What could have been an attempt at emulating the sport became an insult to physics and one of the most entertaining games at the time. Years later, it's finally received a worthwhile remake and not the travesty that was the last remake.

Review – Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer

That might be the only way, since I have the suspicion that they don't exist outside the internet. Their corporeal form is entirely hearsay to me. Anyway, here's Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate.

Review – Final Fantasy VII Remake
If you know me, it might surprise you to hear that I actually like Final Fantasy VII. I was skeptical about a remake, and I still think it's lame Square Enix is splitting it into three parts? Does VII Remake suggest it was worth it. Pfft, no it does not.

Review – No More Heroes III
Bed of rice, I lay down and then nap it up. That's the good stuff. I think crowbar-induced amnesia is the only way I'd lose my love for the No More Heroes series. I mean, Travis Strikes Back was pretty close. Thankfully, No More Heroes III isn't that. Mostly.

Review – Cyberpunk 2077
I love cyberpunk, by which I mean the genre, not the game. The game is just all right. I'm not mad about its launch. To be honest, I didn't care. But even with all its performance issues and bugs under control, Cyberpunk 2077 is just another open world game.
