Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is basically two games in one. There are the 2D side scrolling high-action combat sections and town/farm building mechanics where the player grows rice, cooks, talks to townsfolk and more. The best part, both these segments are well done and results in a pleasurable experience on both sides of the…

VIDEOCAST – Bullet Girls Phantasia (PC)
Basically Dynasty Warriors but with guns and anime babes, Bullet Girls Phantasia is essentially Gillman’s dream game. I don’t really get it but enjoy the fact that firearms are now available in these 1-vs-bagillion action games. Not sure what was up with the water gun torture leveling up scene though… Enjoy the stream embedded below:
VIDEOCAST: REKT! High Octane Stunts (PC)
At the time of this post, REKT! High Octant Stunts is currently not yet available on Steam but we were able to play it early (has been out on Switch for about a year now though). Basically mixing Tony Hawk-style tricks but with a car, REKT! is a bit of a sleeper hit, simple game….
VIDEOCAST – Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (PC)
Prequel to 2015’s Rebel Galaxy, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has a large single player campaign, tons of space dogfights, and plenty of American beer in space. We got smoked on our first mission but then started to wrap our heads around the combat and gameplay elements. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Videocast: Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Switch)
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a nifty but flawed collection. With no option to invert the camera, this game is literally unplayable for me while Gillman can’t beat the waterpackless Mario Sunshine levels. The music player is also as basic can be which is also disappointing. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
VIDEOCAST – Moero Crystal H (Switch)
Described as a sexy dungeon crawler with comedic tones, Moero Crystal H is from Compile Heart and Idea Factory. Sure, there are intentional lewd moments but there is actually a decent game behind the racy visuals. Stream is embedded below:
VIDEOCAST – Spinch (PC)
Spinch is a psychedelic platformer created by artist Jesse Jacob. While not as difficult as other Meatboy-like platformers, Spinch is probably the most colorful game you’ll ever play. Our stream is embedded here:
VIDEOCAST – Giraffe and Annika (Xbox One)
Also released on PS4 and Switch, Giraffe and Annika is a laid back 3rd person Metroidvania style adventure game with rhythm elements in boss battles. As we start are stream, we are baffled at the lack of a jump feature and a way to defend ourselves the floating ghosts. But then the game opens up…
Getting 6k badges in the Nintendo Badge Arcade (3DS) reveals secret CODE WORD
Several months ago, I hit 5,000 badges in the Nintendo Badge Arcade. I pretty much been milking the free plays since this pay-to-play app was first launched in 2014. Each day the player gets 2 free plays, then can play the Practice Catcher to earn at least 1 more each day – that is minimum…
VIDEOCAST – Battletoads 2020 (PC/X1)
There was much excitement when a new Battletoads title was in the works. But then there was much disappointment when the first trailer was released and showcased the awful Saturday morning cartoon visual style. Anyway, we played through the first few levels and were left unimpressed. And what is up with no online multiplayer? For…
