It’s almost here folks…the end of the decade. The time to flip another number in the year and suddenly find ourselves reliving the 20s.

Review: Darksiders Genesis

I’ve always been a stark proponent of the adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but only up to a certain degree. Familiarity breeds contempt, as another adage goes, and with that contempt comes not only boredom, but a resentment toward what was once loved.

Preview: Don’t Die, Minerva!

Haven’t you heard? It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The wintertime holiday season is a time that many look forward to every year, regardless of which holiday one celebrates (if any).

Review: Gensou Skydrift

Gensou Skydrift happily advertises itself on its Steam page with a clear statement: “A Touhou Project racing game is here!” And that is entirely true. This is a kart racing game based on the whole Touhou Project. Which means that in one sense, this game is kind of impossible to review, simply because that fandom

Preview: Ciel Fledge

One of my favorite games of all time is still Princess Maker 2. I was introduced to it almost by accident during my freshman year of college, when its pseudo-abandonware status meant that it was pretty widely available for curious onlookers who didn’t want to actually purchase the game. I proceeded to lose nearly an

Review: Virgo Vs The Zodiac

It seems that over the past decade or two, there’s been a trend toward making complicated technologies simpler and more accessible to the general public. Building a PC has gone from a complicated enthusiast-only venture in the 90s to a nearly plug-and-play project anyone can do. Services exist that allow anyone to create their own

Review: Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York

Vampire: The Masquerade has always been a setting that’s fascinated me. An urban fantasy take on an old myth, wrapped in a considerable dose of conspiracy and secret societies. This week I was blessed with the opportunity to jump in with the visual novel Coteries of New York, out December 11th on Steam.

Review: Jamestown+ [Switch]

When people ask me what my go-to kind of games are, my answer is usually the same: “story-heavy and rhythm games.” I like a game that weaves a good tale, and I love music. On the opposite end, I tend to avoid fighting games and arcade-y score-chasing titles, as they tend to be the opposite

2019 has shaped up to look like the year for a handful of long dormant franchises with dedicated fanbases finally getting the follow up they’ve been wanting for ages.
