Door Kickers 2: Task Force North (PC) Preview

Possibly due to reading into the details on Operation Neptune’s Spear and an ever-present desire to go back and play Rogue Spear, I had this urge to play something mimicking the tactics of a spec ops unit this past summer. Don’t ask why,…

Lower Decks “In the Cradle of Vexilon” – Review

Allamaraine, count to four, Allamaraine, then three more, Allamaraine, if you can see, Allamaraine, you’ll come with me. That’s everyone who watched DS9 now in the corner, in the fetal position crying. Let’s talk about staff writer Ben M Waller’s “In the Cradle…

Days Gone (PC) – Second Opinion Review

There is a lot that can be said of Days Gone, not all of it good and not all of it about the game itself. Most notably, one of the game’s directors/writers said last year that the game got bad reviews because of “woke…

Keiran’s Top Books of 2023

You can ram your Spare and other pointless stories from people who don’t need to be in the public consciousness. As someone who makes a point of reading for enjoyment first and foremost, as well as just delving so deep into my extensive library,…

WW2 Rebuilder (PC) Review

WW2 Rebuilder is a House Flipper style game with a bit of a twist and you might be able to recognize where. I’ve played a few hours of the house that Frozen District built with PlayWay, and while I enjoy the sedate and sometimes…

Keiran’s Top 3 Games of 2023

For some, this has been a fantastic year of games, and I can’t blame them. However, as an industry, it has been horrible. You have Embracer trying to make up for spending by firing a lot of staff, with Epic, Sony, Microsoft,…

Lower Decks “I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee” – Review

Moopsy! Yeah, that’s still not funny on its own. For you it has been a week between reviews, for me it’s been only hours since I finished up “Twovix” and I’m moving on to Aaron Burdette’s “I Have No Bones Yet I…

Rising Front (PC) Preview

The thunder of hundreds (if not thousands) of guns firing, the wiz of bullets overhead, and seeing Harold slump back into the trench without a limb, this is the chaos that is Rising Front. As a low-poly re-creation of one of the…

SWAT 4: Gold Edition (PC) Review

A series that started way back in 1987, Police Quest is the least funny Police Academy spin-off there is, which is saying something. Joking aside, the series continued for a while with Sierra making adventure games (as they often did) not too dissimilar to everything else…

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, & Hand Grenades (PC) Preview

Oh, it is the most wonderful gun of the game (ding dong, ding dong). I think I’ve made it clear once or twice in my many articles here on the site, that I think guns are a big scary thing that can…
