Goeland: Seagull Adventure Demo Lets Us Become a Feathered Troublemaker
Ah, seagulls. Who doesn’t love them? Well, judging by the locals in Goeland: Seagull Adventure, quite a few people, apparently! We live in a place where we’ve never even seen a seagull, but it turns out they aren’t exactly famous for their good manners. The devs behind Goeland: Seagull Adventure are well aware of that.…

Poly Fighter Early Access Review – Learning a Thing or Two From Every Opponent
We love beat-’em-up games like Final Fight, but we’ve never been big fans of fighting games like Street Fighter. Not because we hate them, but because all those combos can be very intimidating, and try as we might, we’ve never managed to destroy our opponents in online matches the way they can wipe the floor…

Interview about Doodle, Please! – Drawing Outside the Lines and Letting Players Break the Rules
We spent a lot of time doodling in notebooks as kids. We remember drawing strange shapes, little characters, and whatever else came to mind. But what if those drawings could come to life, obeying the laws of physics in the process? That’s the idea behind Doodle, Please!, a charming puzzle game released for iPhone on…

Dog in the Machine Review – Who’s a Good Boy?
In Dog in the Machine, being a good boy apparently involves throwing robots into machinery, causing explosions and making a wonderfully terrible mess.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Review – What Is Seen Cannot Be Unseen
We went into Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival thinking about the hours we’d spent with Clive Barker’s Undying all those years ago. Silly us. We expected another story-driven horror adventure with plenty of action and a few gruesome surprises. What we got was, well, considerably worse different. After completing Saber’s latest on PS5 Pro, we’re impressed…

Allogloom Review – A Twisted Fairy Tale Like No Other
Allogloom is a wonderfully unusual adventure that takes us into a magical world that seems to have been ripped straight out of an illustrated fairy tale and then dipped in just enough darkness to make us think twice about spending the night there. Beneath its beautiful scenery lurk ravenous moths, peculiar residents and a mystery…

Disney/Pixar Toy Story: Retro Roundup! Review – To Andy’s Room and Beyond!
We were just kids when we watched the first Toy Story movie, and over the years, we’ve enjoyed every other movie featuring Woody and Buzz. Even though we watched the later ones as grown-ups, they still managed to wake up the children in us and make us giddy all over again. We were beyond happy…
