    Dating Adzuken – Pyrite Heart

    Zoey Handley / August 6, 2020 / No Comments

    This game is listed as "adult" on MobyGames, but I'm fairly certain it isn't. Instead, it's yet another high school romance, which is pretty normal for the genre. The highlight in Pyrite Hearts is when I dressed in a maid outfit. N-not that I'm into that sort of thing. Baka.

    Review – Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour

    Zoey Handley / August 3, 2020 / No Comments

    Duke Nukem 3D was a huge game for me at a time in life when I shouldn't have been playing it. In fact, it probably really screwed up my sexual development. And while the 20th Anniversary World Tour version isn't the best, it gives me an excuse to talk about it. As if I needed one.

    Dating Adzuken – Tokyo School Life

    Zoey Handley / July 30, 2020 / 1 Comment

    For this adventure into dating sims, things go absolutely off the rails. Tokyo School Life makes me feel weird, and ashamed, and uncomfortable. So, I suppose it very accurately captured my high school days. I don't mention this in the article, but this one is made by legendary remaster developer M2.

    Review – TroubleDays

    Zoey Handley / July 27, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Are you ready for some ecchi? Hentai da yo~! I wrote this Troubledays review and pitched it to Destructoid. They passed on it because they weren't quite sure if they wanted to cover the genre. I'm not sure that was actually the whole reason, but it was what I was told. It ended up here, anyway.

    Dating Adzuken – Magical Diary: Horse Hall

    Zoey Handley / July 23, 2020 / 3 Comments

    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

    Zoey Handley / July 20, 2020 / No Comments

    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!

    Zoey Handley / July 19, 2020 / No Comments

    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

    Zoey Handley / April 22, 2020 / No Comments

    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

    Zoey Handley / April 16, 2020 / No Comments

    I've got a history with Animal Crossing going way back to the GameCube era. A new one arrived just in time for Covid lockdowns, which was pretty serendipitous. But can it live up to previous games in the series? No. When I ask that question, it usually means no.

    Review – 198X

    Zoey Handley / March 27, 2020 / No Comments

    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.
