Two video rental retail sims launched in the same month. Which one is for you?
It's surprising, but two retail simulators centred around running a video rental store have released this month: Rewind 99 and Retro Rewind. Aside from the subject matter, they're unrelated and unique. So, if you were to pick only one of them, which should you go for?

Resident Evil: Requiem is blatantly better than The Last of Us Part II
My colleague and friend Stephanie Sterling coined the “blatantly better” farcical-yet-sincere essay series over on Destructoid.com many years ago, and so, it feels right to do a derivative version of her features today, in order to best express my thoughts on Resident Evil: Requiem, a game that is also farcical, sincere, and derivative, but in all the right ways. That’s…

Nightdive’s SiN: Reloaded is finally, actually coming this year, probably
Holy crap. Do you remember SiN: Reloaded? Nightdive’s intended remaster of 1998’s first-person shooter, SiN? It hasn’t even been mentioned in a really long time. It was announced back in 2020, and they intended to release it later that year, but it didn’t happen. Well, it’s happening now. As part of The MIX + Kinda Funny Spring Game Showcase, they…
