Review – Hotel Barcelona
There's a lot to love about Suda51 and Swery. For example, No More Heroes and Deadly Premonition. So, what happens when you put them together? What happens when you form a game designer supergroup? Hotel Barcelona, apparently! Unfortunately.

Review – Stranglehold
Ever watched Hard Boiled? I haven't. But while Stranglehold is billed as something of a sequel to that movie, I'm not sure knowledge of its plot is really necessary. Regardless, we all love firefights full of slow motion and rib-breaking dives.

Review – Butter Side Down
Do you love operating systems? You bet, you do! Do you enjoy using operating systems while working for a soul-sucking corporation? You bet, you do! I don't remember what point I was trying to make, so here's Butter Side Down, instead.

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.

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.

Review – Realms of the Haunting
Time to do some DOS delving. Realms of the Haunting is an awkwardly named 1996 title by Gremlin. The best way I can explain it is: it's awesome until it isn't.

Review – Tiny Bookshop
Christopher Morley was already a known quantity in the literary world when his debut novel, Parnassus on Wheels, was published in 1917. A poet, a journalist, an editor; he had an affinity for the written word and a deep appreciation for books and booksellers. That appreciation can be seen on every page of Parnassus, a charming story of a book…

Review – Mashina
Did you play Judero? Weird stuff, but it will stick with you. For the follow-up, Talha and Jack Co have taken things in a much more positive direction. Not that Judero was all that negative, but Mashina is just super-positive.
