Review – Suikoden I HD
I have no nostalgia for Suikoden. I grew up hearing it was a good game (or, really, its sequel), so I was very intrigued at the idea of jumping into an HD remaster. The Suikoden games have quite the legacy behind them (even more so if you follow Aidan Moher on social media), but I never knew how much of…

Preview – Every Day We Fight
I loved XCOM and XCOM 2 (The new ones. The old ones kick my ass), but I can’t say their style is a carrot I’ve been chasing. In fact, I haven’t played XCOM 2 since the expansion, though I remember really enjoying it. So, I probably wouldn’t have paid that much attention to Every Day We Fight if not for…

Review – Empires of the Undergrowth
Does every kid have a period of ant appreciation? I never had an ant farm, but I did once have other ant-related ambitions. I wanted to find a way to grow ants to the size of cows and have a petting zoo. Just an incredible example of childhood delusions. Like, clearly, the only reason we don’t have giant ant petting…

Preview – Hollywood Animal
Not for the faint of heart, Hollywood Animal isn't merely about making movies. It's also about the seedy underpants of the humans who make up the industry. People are awful is the lesson to be learned here.

Review – Promise Mascot Agency
Marketing is one of the most powerful forces on earth. It steers human society, telling us what is important and what to think. It has caused immeasurable harm as it single-mindedly puts profit above everything else. We have never been without marketing, but it’s become so much more unstoppable with the increased access to information. Humanity’s downfall will probably be…

Preview – Insectile
Are you hungry for some cute bugs? Insectile serves up a fusion dish of creature collector and puzzle game. But does it get the flavour right? I'm so hungry right now.

Review – Mafia: Definitive Edition
I should have probably been more enthusiastic about Mafia: Definitive Edition. Hold on, that’s not as revealing as you may think. I’m just saying, a full remake of one of my favourite games from my adolescent days probably should have been more of a priority for me. I bought it around release, but never pushed far into it. Probably because…

Preview – NetEscape
If I’m recalling correctly, I got access to the internet around 1994, which was fairly early in terms of the World Wide Web. I was the first of my friends to be connected, but few seven-year-olds would really even be able to grasp what the internet was. Of course, at the time, it was largely unrecognizable to what we see…

Review – Betrayal at Club Low
It's the fourth game in the Cosmo D, and with Betrayal at Club Low, the interactivity has caught up with the aesthetic. Dice should be appreciative, because they have never had it so good.

Cataclismo hits 1.0 today, and it’s worth checking out
Ending a respectable run in Early Access, Cataclismo has reached its full release. Unfortunately, I need more time to solidify my opinion, but from what I've played, it's some good wall-building action.
