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…

Magic Twins (Switch) Review
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….
Bladed Fury (Xbox One) Review
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 (Switch) Review
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…
Vaporum – Lockdown (Switch) Review
In 2019, Fatbot Games released the original Vaporum. Not knowing what to expect from this unknown IP, I was pleasantly surprised by the addictive 1st person grid-based gameplay. Vaporum – Lockdown is a sequel but takes place before the events of the first game even though gameplay is almost identical. Playing as a daughter looking…
Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure (Xbox One) Review
Expanding from the 2017 original, the developers at Vector Unit took their time creating this sequel Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure. Sure, at first glance it can easily be determined as a Mario Kart rip-off but there is a staggering amount of game here. Although it features generic Miis as playable racers, it makes…
SHING! (Switch) Review
SHING!, released by Mass Creation and PixelHeart, is a side-scrolling beat’em up brawler that deserves a bit of recognition for trying something new even though its stand-out feature results in its biggest downfall. Instead of tapping buttons to perform light and strong attacks, all fighting is handled by knocking the right analog stick. This is…
Explosionade DX (Xbox One) Review
From the indie devs that created Shoot 1Up and Pig Eat Ball, Mommy’s Best Games ported Explosionade to next gen consoles and added the “DX” to the end of the title due to rebalanced levels, online features and increased visuals. Originally released in 2010 under the Xbox 360’s indie game section, Explosionade was available for…
Doodle Devil: 3volution (Xbox One) Review
Doodle Devil: 3volution is described as a puzzle world game by JoyBits, the development studio, but I think it might be better described as a lesson in confusion. With no goal, direction, or reason why, I don’t think I have ever been more confused by gameplay. Explaining what Doodle Devil: 3volution is not an easy…

With the help of Code Mystics, SNK has been releasing NeoGeo Pocket Color games on the Switch eShop over the last several months, trickling their releases leading up to the spectacular Match of the Millennium. Now available in one bundled compilation, the NeoGeo Pocket Selection Vol.1 includes all the previous eShop releases plus four more….
