My Time at Sandrock 1.0 is Out Now

Of all the life-sims, Stardew Valley, or Harvest Moon-like games out at the moment (and there are a lot), I think My Time at Sandrock is the only one that looks interesting. The Wild West takes on the hugely popular My Time…

Stop Talking Down To Players: Cities II

“The performance target is to run at a steady 30 FPS minimum. There is no real benefit in a city builder to aim for higher FPS[,] as a growing city will inevitably become CPU-bound. […] We just don’t believe there would be a long-term benefit…

Prime Gaming – November 2023

Well, this crept up on me like your uncle’s questionable opinions on the gays at Thanksgiving, let’s cover some Prime Gaming, shall we? As always, if you are so inclined, there is a whole host of “in-game content” cosmetics and in-game boosts you…

Alaskan Road Truckers (PC) Review

As stiff as a bus going through turns 12 and 13 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the trucks of Alaskan Road Truckers are not what you are used to in many other truck sims. I’ve had less understeer in boats, and the last time…

The Evil Within 2 Is Free On Epic

Monday, Sony added wonderful soundtracks to music streaming platforms. Tuesday, the Fallout series got an air date, many months ahead of release, unlike Doctor Who, and Magic is crossing over with Marvel after Doctor Who did this last month. Wednesday, the comic book turned animated show Invincible is getting a game in a couple of weeks, and Galaga (and Galaxian) will be playable…

SNW “Those Old Scientists” – Review

The only TOS episode that’s a perfect 10. Of course “Those Old Scientists” had to be the one directed by Jonathan Frakes, which means it is not only beautiful but makes a lot of visual sense because Frakes knows how to do…

Finally, Doctor Who 60th Specials Have An Air Date

Finally, it has only taken a year and a bit to get three dates out of Russell and the production crew. Trying to get the dates of these 60th-anniversary specials has been like getting blood from a stone, which if you are…

Fallout Series Gets Its Air Date

It might not be October 23rd, 2077, but explosive news hit us like an aftershock yesterday. Well, I say the news did, but that was after some of us had to work out if it was April or December. I get that…

Sony Adds Several Soundtracks To Streaming Platforms

Game soundtracks are a hit-and-miss with me. I turn the music down so it doesn’t overpower the mix while I’m in the middle of the big action scenes, it sits in the mix but not too loud it commands the scene for…

Cities: Skylines II (PC) Review

I think it is really difficult to talk about Cities: Skylines II without acknowledging the obvious statement: “I already have the first game, why should I pick up this sequel?” It is a difficult question in itself to answer because of the modding…
