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. 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 – Seek and Destroy (PS2)
Conspiracy Entertainment’s spree of localization of the Choro-Q series is bizarre. Choro-Q is a brand of toy car. In North America, they were sold as Penny Racers, but I honestly don’t remember ever seeing them in my childhood. However, I guess they have some manner of ubiquity in Japan, since there was a series of games based on them until…

Review – No, I’m not a Human
People aren’t my favourite people. Every person brings unnecessary complications into my life, and I’m too empathetic to just focus on myself. So, I’m not the most social person, and neither is the protagonist of No, I’m not a Human. But while I still make connections with others, because that’s life, and you gotta, the protagonist of No, I’m not…

Review – Normality
If Realms of the Haunting did one great thing, it's that it led me to Normality, another first-person adventure from 1996. Only this one has less shooting and more Corey Feldman, if you want it to. Which is maybe a positive, depending on what you think of Corey Feldman.

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.

Review – Crazy Frog: Arcade Racer (PS2)
I'm sorry if I just reminded you that Crazy Frog exists. If you're not aware, it was an explosive fad in the '00s centred around an annoying thing with his dick out. Crazy Frog Arcade Racer cuts out the dick, but it's still very, very annoying.

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 – Naval Ops: Warship Gunner
A few years ago, I reviewed Waves of Steel, which is an interesting little naval combat game that gets kind of weird. Totally recommend it. But when that review went up, a community member told me that it’s a spiritual follow-up to Naval Ops: Warship Gunner and its sequel, Warship Gunner 2. “Alright,” I thought. “Probably like Naval Ops: Warship…
