A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A single player twin-stick shooter, Sturmfront: The Mutant War – Ubel Edition features high action and steep difficulty. It isn’t the best twin-sticker out there as there are a few bright spots but the broken pacing issues easily frustrates. With the cover obviously knocking off classic Doom, you play as a purposely stereotypical blond Rambo […]
PAC-MAN 99 is the latest battle royale style game and fills a gap that Super Mario 35 left behind. Although the concept is pretty cool and entertaining, Gillman has issues with the controls as the D-Pad on the Pro Controller doesn’t seem to work properly.
Like a 90s mascot platformer, Stitchy in Tooki Trouble is a simple but ultimately forgettable single player sidescroller. With flavorless level design and a flawed scoring system, this “me too” platformer is easily overshadowed by the countless other titles on the Switch eShop. You play as Stitchy, a scarecrow on a quest to retrieve stolen […]
Made by a 15 year old developer and published by Sometimes you, Escape from Life Inc is a Lost Vikings-style puzzle platformer with a comedic narrative. The graphical presentation looks like it was created in MS Paint but don’t let the visuals be distracting as this 3-5 hour romp plays better than you might assume. […]

Made by the same developer that created the trial and error puzzler Swim Out, Rip Them Off is a bizarrely interesting mix of capitalism and tower defense. To be clear, Rip Them Off is referring to screwing over customers to maximize profit and has nothing to do with the removal of clothes in an aggressive […]
Twins Abra and Cadabra wanted to use color to dye their clothes but mistakenly unleashed Colormageddon. Now they need to use their chromagic powers to create spells to retain their newly dyed dresses. The story might be a little goofy but developers Flying Beast Labs needed to attach the color element directly to the gameplay. […]
Based on Chinese mythology and with an art style that sort of looks like a Vanillaware game, Bladed Fury, released by PM Studios, is a 2D action game that has an appreciated uncomplicatedness to it. Putting stylish combat firmly at the forefront, this brief narrative will keep players engaged with button-mashing combo-based action even though […]
Say No! More is literally an on-rails saying “no” simulator. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds but the humorous presentation carries a very serious message. The experience is short, only lasting about an hour, but I had a laughing smile on my face until the credits rolled. The gameplay is essentially one long […]
The Nintendo DS wasn’t just a cool system because it had two screens, Nintendo implemented backwards compatibility with Gameboy Advance games via Slot 2 at the bottom of the console. Sometimes dubbed the “GBA Slot,” this extra port allowed for some creative uses in DS games. For example, if players inserted Final Fantasy Tactics Advance […]
