Review – Signalis
The survival horror genre was reasonably long-lived but eventually went to where all dead genres go: the indie and alternative markets. Very rarely does one arrive from the big budget space, and if it does, it's a remake. Case in point, here's Signalis, which takes inspiration from survival horror of old.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – Cult of the Lamb
Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.

Review – Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Star Wars and I have a rocky relationship. Had, I should say, it's over now. But back in the day, I was all about that galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader hit before disillusionment set in, but how will I look on it today?

Review – Goldeneye 007 (N64)
Goldeneye 007 is a certifiable classic. It was a phenomenon back when it released. However, for all the things it did extremely well, a lot of it hasn't aged favourably. If any game needs an HD remaster, it's this one. Unfortunately, it looks like we just barely missed out on one.

Review – Actraiser
Having reviewed the remake, Actraiser: Renaissance, I decided to return to the original. Not for comparison's sake, exactly, but because you can never get enough Actraiser. It's a mix of playing god and hitting things with a sword. It's like if SimCity had segments where you play as Michael Myers.

Review – Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012
When the Gods of Quality forsook the Twisted Metal series, others attempted to take up the torch. One was Rogue Trip, a game by the original developers of the Twisted Metal series. But rather than do Twisted Metal but-a-bit-different, they instead decided to try something new. And new it is.

Review – KukkoroDays
I never would have expected an ecchi visual novel to leave a lasting impact on me, but TroubleDays somehow found a way to worm its way into my mind and take up residence. It wasn’t necessarily for its dirtiness, though it is, at the very least, adjacent to my interests. Rather, it was because it was just a cute romance.…

Review – Game Dev Story
I don’t know what to think of Kairosoft anymore. I once saw them as a developer that was so cohesive they basically carved out their own niche for themselves on mobile platforms. Their games were similar, built on the same addictive formula. Presented in the same art-style and containing the same personality. Kairosoft was comfort food. Things have changed since…

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…
