Fast and Furious Arcade Edition is horrible. It's more like a theme park ride than a racing game and barely has anything to do with the F&F movies at all. Skip it. Avoid it. Do not buy it.

Y'know what TrueAchievements, if you didn't have 57,000 ads that make my laptop fan turn into a jet engine I might be willing to turn off adblock. But you do so I won't.

WitchSpring R is a cozy wholesome adorably cute JRPG that is genuinely one of my favorites in the entire genre from the last several years. Absolutely love just about everything about it.

The new Everybody's Golf Hot Shots is one of the most disappointing games of the year. It just feels so weirdly bad to play. I've played hundreds and hundreds of rounds of three click golf games in my life but I can't get used to this one for some reason.

Is this scene from Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore the best video game cutscene ever? Yes. Yes it is.

$30 is still cheaper than $50-60-70 multiple times, isn't it? Or is there some new math I don't know about.

Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is an indie homage to those horrible CD-i Zelda games that perfectly captures the presentation of those notorious stinkers, but features gameplay that's actually good. We loved it!

Scar-Lead Salvation recently hit Xbox - at a much more reasonable $30 MSRP compared to the $60 it launched at on PS5 and Steam - so we took a look. It's ... pretty bad, honestly.

CarX Street is basically Need for Speed Underground 3 and you should play it. Sure, it isn't quite the same and has some rough edges, but it definitely scratches that itch and shouldn't be overlooked.

Disorder is a 3D action roguelite starring a hot girl. It's undeniably janky and clunky, but still pretty satisfying because it has a good feeling of progression. It's good. Sorta. Maybe.

Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is an amazing oldschool-style JRPG starring costumed heroes and monsters - from the Kaiju Big Battel pro wrestling show - and is just the absolute best. I loved it.

Kawaii Girls Panic is yet another clone of classic arcade game Qix featuring sexy anime waifus. Normally this wouldn't be noteworthy, but this game actually came out on Xbox, so it got our attention.

Rally Arcade Classics is an oldschool-style rally game that's easy to like, but hard to love because the progression is ridiculously stupid and the difficulty curve is stupidly ridiculous.

I asked on Game Source Entertainment's Facebook page if they were ever going to release the Xbox version of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade or if we should just assume it's cancelled. They liked my comment. I'm not sure what that means and now I'm just more confused / annoyed than ever.

Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau is a hilariously over the top parody of Japanese horror - and other influences - and it's truly amazing. It plays horribly, don't get me wrong, but you can't help but love it.
