Tabletop Game Shop Sim announced for 2025

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I will snort any form of the “[genre] Shop Simulator” game like it is a mystery powder in an ’80s nightclub bathroom. There are so many different ways you can take that whole…

Doctor Who “The Well” – Review

Well, in another life we did indeed say “The Midnight sky’s the road I’m takin’,” but that’s enough about an episode with Merlin in it. Written by Russell T Davies, and importantly, there is a use of an ampersand between him &…

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy Enhanced Editions announced

If there is one set of PC-centric titles that I wanted to get into early on, it has to be GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Starting in 2007 with S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the series focuses sci-fi-ish take on the Chornobyl disaster,…

Cash Cleaner Simulator (PC) – Review

I feel old, and not just because I remember when money wasn’t plastic or digital dogs. The aesthetic of Cash Cleaner Simulator is that of the youth with their hips and hops, spray paint, generative AI, and cryptocurrencies. You play as someone…

Deadtime Defenders is free on Epic

Monday, Elden Ring Nightreign showed off some gameplay. Tuesday, Gears of War will be coming to PlayStation 5, and you know what, I saw a pig fly the other day, while White Paper Games’ new walking sim-ish horror thing, I AM RIPPER…

Doctor Who “Lux” – Review

Oh my, King James suddenly got a lot less gay and became a lot more colorful. Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, it certainly is something of his that I can tell he’s had bubbling for a while. As Australian writer and…
