Review – Astronook
As my son’s obsession with all things space and planets continues to grow, I keep my eye open for games that might allow him to explore what he loves even deeper. Astronook caught my attention because it’s a so-called “cozy” experience, which definitely sounds perfect for a three-year-old. I’ll tell you what’s not cozy: trying to solve way-too-intense connect-the-dot puzzles…

Review – Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III
The Bubble Bobble lore is hard to follow. Bub and Bob keep going from bubble-spewing dinosaurs to rotund children and back again, but maybe it’s also their kids, or maybe it’s their girlfriends. Sometimes they’re dragons, and sometimes they aren’t. To make it more confusing, there are two “The Story of Bubble Bobble IIIs.” There’s 1991’s Parasol Stars: The Story…

Review – Spica Adventure (Arcade)
After a big resurgence in the ‘90s, the arcade industry was in sharp decline in the early ‘00s with new games slowing to a trickle, largely due to the home console market catching up in terms of power. Games of this period would often launch alongside a console version, so it’s a bit rare that a game of that era…

Review – Future Racer 2000
Future Racer 2000 has been updated quite a bit since I first did a write-up of it in 2023. So, I figure that now's a good time to revisit it and see if it still has the magic.

Review – Dog Witch
Appropriately, Dog Witch is about a dog that is also a witch. You face off against a wizard, which is just the more socially acceptable magic user. It's time to show them that withholding treats from a good boy is absolutely unacceptable.

Review – Outlaws: Remaster
It's always a good day when a Nightdive remaster is involved. This time, they've touched up one of LucasArts most unique first-person shooters. And while it is mostly just obscure due to being sandwiched between Quake and Half-Life, there are other reasons why you may have never heard of it.

Review – Feudal Bros. – Tonosama #1
Hungry for some more Bakage? Feudal Bros. - Tonosama #1 brings all the dumb you need. Dumb characters. Dumb themes. Dumb design. You can't go wrong, unless you can.

Review – Spy Hunter (Console, 2001)
Suffer a tale of hormones. Learn of the shocking link between Spy Hunter (2001) and Beetle Adventure Racing. See a review score. It's all here in this nail-biting look at Midway's attempt at refreshing an (at that point) 20-year-old arcade game.

Review – Easy Delivery Co.
I love snow. Not a huge fan of winter because it gets really dark really early, but that’s the tradeoff for snow. I love how snow hides things. Heavy snow hides the horizon. Fresh fallen snow hides the sounds of the city. Deep snow is perfect for temporarily hiding bodies. When a winter storm kicks up, I wish it would…

Review – Caput Mortum
Caput Mortum is a shortform horror adventure title. In it, you descend into a tower's basement, mingle with homunculi, and solve lots of puzzles. Also, you have one arm, and you're going to get a lot of use out of it.
