Review – Irem Collection Volume 3
It's a good time for arcade collections! I lied, it isn't. PS2 was where it was at when arcade collections would have, like, 30 titles on them, and you could always find them in the bargain bin. Contrary to that, here's Irem Collection Volume 3.

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.
