Get into the winter spirit season with Shivering Stone, an ice block pushing puzzle game. You know how in some Zelda dungeons, you have to push sliding ice blocks into places and figure out where they should go? Well this whole game is just that. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Toasterball (Switch, PC)
Posted on January 29th, 2024 by
Toasterball is kind of a mix between volleyball and soccer. You and up to three other opponents (two on each team) volley and bounce the ball and try to make it to the other team’s goal to score points. Whoever gets to five first wins. Oh yeah, and you also play as toasters! Use the L and R buttons to flip and move left and right. And press them both down and release to launch toast to volley the ball around. Just don’t hold down too long or you’ll burn the toast! Toasterball is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Colored Effects (Switch, PC)

Colored Effects is a 2D single screen puzzle platformer. You play as a little dude with a cape, and when you travel over puddles of color, your cape turns to that color and you get a special skill. For instance, yellow gives you the power to dash, blue lets you double jump, and you can shoot projectiles with red, among others. The game is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Uzzuzzu My Pet: Golf Dash (Switch)
Posted on January 22nd, 2024 by
A large orange dog, a fat pink cat, a cute grey and white kitten, and a little white puppy are the stars of Uzzuzzu My Pet. Supposedly they are in short little CG animated segments on TikTok, and are popular in South Korea…I guess? I don’t know, I don’t mess with TikTok. I reviewed a game with them earlier, but it was just a virtual coloring book. Well now they’re back with a for real game on Switch called Uzzuzzu My Pet: Golf Dash, and it’s kind of a cross between golf and WarioWare.

Happy New Year! Around this time of year, I like to make a list of games that are releasing in the coming year that I’m looking forward to. Of course, this isn’t a full complete list, as there will assuredly be titles announced throughout the year that I may get as well. But anyway, here’s what I know now, for the most part, so let’s take a look at what games I’m looking forward to in 2024!
Ravva and the Phantom Library (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on January 17th, 2024 by
This is actually a sequel to a game I reviewed a couple of years ago called Ravva and the Cyclops Curse. Ravva is a young owl sorceress who has adventures with her four summoned monster friends. One day while exploring the forest, they came across a mysterious library that wasn’t there before, and inside are magical books that can take you to different worlds. But evil ghosts suck Ravva inside the library, and now she has to get out! This game is a retro 8 bit styled 2-D platformer and it’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Chipmonk! (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Chipmonk! is a 2D side scrolling beat ‘em up where you play as one of three little chipmunks: Gray, Cheeks, or Red, as they beat up (presumably) other bad critters like rats, mice, badgers, porcupines, raccoons, and more. It’s silly and goofy and available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Top Video Game Elephants
Posted on January 12th, 2024 by
With Super Mario Bros. Wonder being recently released, everyone is talking about the new power-up that turns Mario into an elephant! I didn’t realize Mario was such a University of Alabama fan! He DOES wear red all the time, though! Roll Tide, Mario, Roll Tide! Anyway, Elephant Mario isn’t the ONLY elephant in video games, so I thought I’d talk about my other top video game elephants. So let’s stomp our feet and trumpet our nose! These aren’t in any particular order or anything, though.
