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.

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.

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.

Review – Mafia
Open-world crime games are hardly uncommon. Even when Mafia was released in 2002, it wasn't breaking new ground. But it found success where few games at the time did: a slavish dedication to detail.

Review – Burggeist
If you’re sitting there thinking, “what the hell is Burggeist,” you’re most certainly not alone. It’s clearly flown under the radar of just about everyone: it has less than 60 reviews on Steam as of now, the solo developer has under 300 followers on X, and it doesn’t even exist on OpenCritic. I’m here now to tell you why that…

Review – Two Point Museum
It's back to Two Point County as you're put in charge of yet another institution where money has no business. Can you turn a profit in Two Point Museum? Of course you can, because it's just a matter of finding or stealing some old stuff and putting it on display.
