Architect Life gets Summer Release Date

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 14:00:51 +0000

I snort house-building games almost as much as I snort shop-ownership games. Ok, that’s a lie, there is only one reason I know how to type “MOTHERLOAD” so fast I can probably beat a court stenographer. The point is, yesterday afternoon, as I had some lunch and doom-scrolling social media (we all do it), I saw something about Architect Life: A House Design Simulator. With a priapism the size of a…

Session: Skate Sim Celebrates Second Anniversary

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:00:11 +0000

Since Session: Skate Sim launched in 2022, it has had a loyal following and has reinvigorated the skating game genre. In the absence of a proper Skate 4, Session: Skate Sim allowed people to dive back into doing tricks and enjoying skating. Now, after 2 years of content, Session: Skate Sim is getting new content to celebrate the anniversary. Currently, before the second anniversary…

Rogue Lords (PC) Review

David Sanders — Wed, 01 May 2024 18:00:23 +0000

If The Charlie Daniels Band is to be believed, the Devil accepts defeat with humility when he goes down to Georgia and loses a fiddle contest. Would that same thing be true if the Devil stood to lose something much more valuable than a golden violin? 2021’s Rogue Lords sees you play as the Devil as he sends out his underlings to lay the groundwork for his return to the mortal world.

Japanese Food Comes to Chef Life

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 16:00:08 +0000

I love games that tackle regional cuisine accurately and respectfully. Of course, with a name like Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator, you’d hope it was authentic, right? Well, a new type of cuisine is now available in the Restaurant sim. Released yesterday, you can now cook and enjoy Japanese cuisine in Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator. The “Tokyo Delight“ DLC is now available…

Bee Simulator (PS4) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 18:00:21 +0000

There’s something about simulators that has captivated me in recent years. Whether it’s the effervescent relaxation that Powerwash Simulator brings me or the way MudRunner activates a part of the brain I rarely use, I find these titles as rewarding as they are innovative. So the prospect of Bee Simulator was an easy purchase when I found a PS4 copy at my local games store for $11.

RoboCop: Rogue City (PC) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 18:00:30 +0000

Back in the 1980’s and 1990’s, almost every action movie got a video-game tie-in. The problem was, at the time, this form of media wasn’t up-to-snuff if you compare it to 30 years later. That’s why now, more than ever, we’re seeing old film franchises get resurrected in the gaming sphere, resulting in great efforts that are essential playing for fans of said franchises.

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 (PS5) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Wed, 17 May 2023 19:00:22 +0000

Recently, I revisited the classic racing title Midnight Club II. While it’s a car-heavy game, you’re also given the option to choose a motorcycle. I found this vehicle immensely more fun as I navigated its twists and turns with ease and felt an increased sense of intensity and risk on a bike instead of a four-wheeled vehicle. Knowing that there’s a whole market for bike racing games…

Vampire the Masquerade – Swansong (PlayStation 5) Review

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 19:00:32 +0000

This review has taken me twice as long as it should have to prepare. I love vampires, and I have for a very long time. As such, I find the world of Vampire: The Masquerade to be endlessly fascinating. Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is a narrative game that nails everything I would want from a narrative, story-driven experience in this world, but makes some major gameplay mistakes.

Garden Life Announced by Nacon

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 26 May 2022 13:00:08 +0000

Simulation games are a big thing these days. Games like Powerwash Simulator, Lawn Mowing Simulator, and less realistic things like Two Point Hospital all come together to give us a reprieve from our everyday lives by having us tackle pseudo-realistic aspects of life. Now, Nacon and developer stillalive studios have decided to up the ante a little. For the green-thumbed people in the gaming…
