Got a new post here, just for Ko-fi subscribers! This huge tome is one of my most beloved reference materials; an offline version of GameFAQs, an endless source of information, and even a great way to get straight to the fun unlockables in some games:

Many of these games are also on discount on Switch and PSN too, so double-check to see if the game you want is on those platforms too~

Hey, it's me - the person who responds to questions like "Can you write a feature about an ancient, untranslated, yet still active Japanese MMO you've never heard of before and hardly anyone's played?" with "Sure, I'll get started tomorrow!"

My article on Resident Evil: Requiem's now available for everyone! It's a highly polished yet soulless affair that seemingly invented a brand new character explicitly to undermine them at every turn:

Gamest preview:
You might want to double check how Warrior is spelled before releasing your game lads
Ken also being written as ζ³ (fist) instead of γ±γ³
Ryu is written as ι, Long in Chinese Pinyin, implying the Sheng Long / Sho'ryu' mix up caused issues in other languages long before EGM in 1992π

Just a heads-up, no stream from me tonight- it's been a long week and I'm worn out! I'll be back next week instead. Take care, everyone!

π§΅If the thought of Tokimeki Memorial with swords appeals to you, then Mitsumete Knight delivers. This PlayStation exclusive manages in a single game to make Konami's familiar dating sim format feel like its own:

𧡠Boasting 2(ish) polygons per second and an engine noise that'll make you reach for the remote, the Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing is *checks notes* a real miracle of a game:

π§΅Toot Toot Sonic Warrior! Um, actually, Sonic CD and I don't get on very well. Does that have to be a problem, though?

π§΅Solasta does an incredible job of bringing modern D&D rules to PC - battles here are so much fun - but storytelling really, really matters even if you try to insist I'm only here for the party builds and monster slaying:

π§΅This one's on the Game Boy Camera, and how its lo-fi tech makes it easy - and fun - to look at the world in a whole new way:
