Several months ago, I surfed the Switch eShop for visual novels and adventure games, bought a couple, and went on my merry way. The next time I visited the eShop, it had one of those Amazon suggestion boxes saying, "Since you bought this, we think you'd like this." The suggestion was for The Gardens Between, which naturally, I had never heard of. You'd think I would have, since … [Read more...] about The Gardens Between Review – Not All Is as it Seems (Switch)
The Turing Test Review – If Portal and The Station Had a Baby… (Switch)
With the coronoavirus putting us all on lock-down, I figured it was a good time to play some of the Switch games I randomly bought and never tried.

Pig Eat Ball Review – Acceptable Bulimia (Switch)
I've been out of the PC-indie scene for a long time now, so I miss hearing of some sleeper hits on Steam, such as Pig Eat Ball. The press release I received about it mentioned arcade action and getting fat from eating balls. It sounded too wacky and Pac-Man-esque for me not to give this one a try. Oh it's crazy wacky, which is amazing, but it's crazy fun too. Even when I get … [Read more...] about Pig Eat Ball Review – Acceptable Bulimia (Switch)
