A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Inspired by NES 8-bit platformers, Ravva and the Cyclops Curse is a linear experience built around four abilities used to defeat monsters and solve environmental puzzles. It is a short journey with a few stubborn moments but is still a decent way to kill a couple hours considering the low asking price. You play as […]
You know how soccer is played with feet? Well instead of kicking the ball, imagine using a baseball bat. And then imagine using that bat to whack the crap out of your competitor. Then imagine holding down the button to warm up a power attack to really whack the crap out of the ball or […]
UnMetal is a deliberate Metal Gear parody game that is one of the most intelligently written, fourth wall breaking games I’ve played. Being the massive Metal Gear fan that I am, I was worried such an obvious knock off would sour the wondrous MGS experience but instead was blown away by how smart, funny, and […]
Mask of Mists originally launched on Xbox One about one year ago. Now, Sometimes You has released a specific version for Xbox Series X. The asking price is $15 but Xbox One owners looking to upgrade can get a 50% discount. In short, this newer Xbox Series X version plays exactly like the Xbox One […]
Originally starting as a hobby and the product of hack-a-thons, Alveole is an experimental puzzle game built about a single theme – cage.

Originally released on Switch in early 2020, Fishing Adventure is now available on Xbox One. Since this is the exactly the same game, everything that I mentioned in my Switch article applies here. To recap my original Switch coverage, there is no story in this first person fishing sim so the game jumps right into […]
Taking place on a hexagonal grid, Curious Expedition 2 is a roguelike title that puts an emphasis on narrative, decision making, and randomness into a combination that is rewarding but also carries a higher level of difficulty that might not appeal to everyone. You and your crew are exploring the seas when an island is […]
A Buster Bros. clone (aka Pang), Knights & Guns is an action game that offers some quality, mindless fun when played in short bursts and with a co-op partner at your side. Playing as a knight whose kingdom was invaded by monsters, it is your job to kill these beasts not by using a sword […]
Pretty Girls Panic! is one of those single screen reaction based games where you control a cursor and need to fill in the picture by making enclosed boxes without colliding with enemies. If you succeed, you are rewarded with a picture of an anime babe in a swim suit. If you grew up in the […]
Using one controller to control two simultaneous characters, Mina & Michi is another cutesy and simple game developed by Ratalaika Games and published by EastAsiaSoft. Which means low cost, easy Achievements worth big points, and a charming visual style built around one major gameplay mechanic. The gimmick here is controlling both the weaker Mina with […]
