One of my favorite designers right now is the team at Bedouin Games, who have released a number of biblical themed board games. I’ve had the pleasure of previewing and reviewing The Flood, previewed Tower of Babel, and hopefully one day will get to play their newest Kickstarter adventure, 3 Magi. I like how this company takes Biblical stories and turns them into really good board games. Many companies have attempted to jump on the Biblical Board Game train and…

Nintendo of America today posted a trailer for an upcoming indie called Ruffy and the Riverside. The trailer is really good. Check it out and then come back here for our thoughts on the game. Ruffy and the Riverside looks really good. I love how the main character is paper-like but the surroundings are very three dimensional. The game looks like a cross between Paper Mario and Mario Odyssey. A platformer meeting that paper-like quality that we usually see in…

There is something very classy looking about Expedition: Northwest Passage HMS Terror Edition. This is a relaunch of the game Expedition: Northwest Passage which was released over a decade ago. The gameplay seems to be relatively unchanged, but the production has a fresh coat of paint. Is it worth investing your hard earned money in this product, in 2025? Let’s take a look at the components! What I’m struck by right away is just how gorgeous this game looks. It…

Knives have always been the crown jewels of Counter-Strike. When you’re spinning a Butterfly Knife in warmup or pulling out a Karambit on the clutch point, you feel just better. Knives are trophies, trophies, flexes, and in many cases, smart investments. With dozens of finishes, float ranges, and knife types, the CS2 knives market is bigger and more active than ever. But buying one isn’t always as simple as it should be. Between overpriced Steam listings and shady third-party sites,…

Last time, I talked about how I’ve been struggling with my enjoyment of gaming lately. I’ve mostly been playing cozy simulation games. That said, I did start playing Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster recently and I’ve been enjoying that. Let’s talk about my history with Final Fantasy 6 and why this game is yet another cozy game for me. I wasn’t an rpg fan during the SNES days. I was a teen then and I liked beat ’em ups like…

Tabletop Inc., previously released under a name we will not mention here!, is a game about making board games. Anything and everything you would expect of a board game can be found here in some capacity, including components, boxes, box lids, kallax style shelves, and more. While a game about making board games seems like a grand idea, is it? And more importantly, how much attention did the design group pay to components? Let’s take a look! I’m usually all…

This is also the reason why the entire gaming industry and pretty much EVERY gamer is so excited about GTA VI, which is due to be released in 2026.

I’ve been playing Towerborne’s game preview on Xbox Series a little bit and thought I’d share some thoughts on the game so far. How is Towerborne? Towerborne is a sidescrolling beat ‘em up with rpg elements. You create your character, choose a class and go on missions where you fight enemies in a sidescrolling beat ‘em up fashion. There is a hub world and also a world map. The game has a cartoon-like drawn style to it. It’s a neat…

Nintendo Switch 2 will be out soon. And then it won’t be too much longer before the PS6 pops up and Xbox Series is on its way out the door. Lately, I’ve felt that I’m at a crossroads. I’m unsure about where gaming will take me next. So today I’ll talk about what I’m thinking. Will I still be gamer in the future? The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out in June and…I can’t get it.
