I have to admit that I have never been into sandbox games, or strategy games, or other games where you just kind of click places and plan for stuff. Generally, I like games where you are doing things, and I'll say that I really enjoyed the opening to JCB Pioneer Mars. Maybe its because I've always like when science fiction meets near science fact. I have no idea if we … [Read more...] about Game Review: JCB Pioneer Mars for the Nintendo Switch

Gaming Review: Vane from Friend or Foe Games
I believe that when I first heard about Vane, I was told it was a "mesmerizing exploratory adventure". That description really fails when it comes to this game, and I'm going to see how well I can describe my experience. The beginning of Vane is unusual, as you play what looks like a young boy or girl walking on a landscape that is unraveling as you speak. The opening … [Read more...] about Gaming Review: Vane from Friend or Foe Games
Our Review of Two Terrific Surreal Video Games: The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit
In case you are not aware, I occasionally do video game reviews on my site, and it is rare that I review two games that are similar with their style. The style is that of surrealism, which can bring the player into worlds similar to that of a Salvador Dali painting. This is only one of the best aspects of The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit, and they are both great … [Read more...] about Our Review of Two Terrific Surreal Video Games: The Gardens Between and My Brother Rabbit
Downward Spiral: Horus Station Review
One of the things that is interesting about Downward Spiral: Horus Station is how it is an "anti-gravity game". I wasn't sure what it meant, but I will have to say that the controls of this game are unique as they are confusing. I played it on the PS4, and what you need to do is use the left controller to grab on to an object, and then push off. That's right, you are … [Read more...] about Downward Spiral: Horus Station Review
Human Fall Flat Game Review
The first thing that I am going to say about Human Fall Flat is it is a puzzle game. Puzzle games are always great because you use your mind, you solve something, but then the process repeats (both a blessing and a curse). The last two games that I reviewed, The Spectrum Retreat and The Path of Motus have had their series of puzzles, but they had a huge framing device of … [Read more...] about Human Fall Flat Game Review
The Path of Motus Game Review
I'm going to tell you that The Path of Motus is a very different game, and at first, I thought different was bad. What attracted me to this work is that I suspected this game was made for people on the autism spectrum. After all, there is kind of a thing with Minecraft and people with autism, and if you don't believe me, do some kind of Internet search. The game looks like … [Read more...] about The Path of Motus Game Review
Our Review of The Spectrum Retreat video game
The Spectrum Retreat is a first-person perspective game that uses a lot of puzzle-solving. I am told that the creator, Dan Smith, got a BAFTA Young Game Designers Award (YGD) when he was 18, and it is easy to believe. Assuming that this is Mr. Smith's first effort, it is quite a good one. I will have to say from the get-go that The Spectrum Retreat is an acquired taste. … [Read more...] about Our Review of The Spectrum Retreat video game
