Review – TroubleDays
One of my favourite stories to tell about myself is the time I bought a bunch of ecchi games on a Steam Holiday Sale, and the store algorithm immediately jumped to the conclusion that I was a pervert. Is it correct? Do I play these games ironically or do I actually get some titillation from them? That’s none of your…

Dating Adzuken – Magical Diary: Horse Hall
The first in my series of articles focused on my adventures in dating sims. Looking back well after the fact, starting off with this misadventure was weirdly indicative of how things were going to proceed. But at least I got to go to the prom with a demonic hunk.

Review – Baobabs Mausoleum Episode 3: Un Pato en Muertoburgo
Eeeh, this deep into the Baobabs Mausoleum series, I've lost the faith. There's a lot of personality on display, but also a lot of half-assery. But at least there's this one last episode to get through. And at least we get to find out how Watracio Walpurgus survived a gunshot to the head.

Happy 3 Year Anniversary!
Hi! How have you been? It’s been a while. You look good. The last article I published on the Game Complaint Department was back at the end of April. So, what happened to me? Well, let’s just say that, similar to many others, 2020 hasn’t been kind to me. It’s been three years since the Game Complaint Department opened its…

Review – Retro Game Challenge
If you consider yourself a retro gamer, then Game Center CX might be up your alley, since it's a celebration of old games. It even, appropriately, got its own video games, with the first being localized as Retro Game Challenge. It's a unique way of capturing the bygone era.

Review – Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Me and Animal Crossing go way back. I remember drooling over it when it was still known as Animal Forest in Japan. I dreamt of a game like The Sims, but cuter and with more to do outside the home. That’s not what I got, but I fell in love with it all the same. It’s a game series I…

Review – 198X
I am, if nothing else, very sentimental about video games. Not sure if you can tell. It doesn't take much to get me to spin yarns about my childhood and the games that turned me into the wreck you see before me. So 198x appeals to me on a conceptual level.

Review – Clay Fighter: Sculptor’s Cut
The Clay Fighter efforts aren't great on the SNES, but they have their charm. However, when the series landed on the N64, the clay really hit the fan. High-five to myself for coming up with that analogy. Anyway, they aren't great, and Sculptor's Cut is a pretty solid example of that mediocrity.

Review – Resident Evil (Remake)
One of the major gaming memories I commonly cite is the time when the Resident Evil remake on Gamecube gave me nightmares. Because, you know, I’d rather tell you about myself at my wussiest, rather than, say, how great I was at F-Zero GX. I think I just had to play it because it was the prettiest game I’d seen…

Review – DuckTales (NES)
I played DuckTales rather early in life, so I have an unshakeable fondness for it. It shows Capcom when they were showing how licensed games didn't have to be mediocre claptrap. DuckTales is easily the best game about a geriatric duck pogo sticking around on his way to find treasure.
