Help a kid get to what I assume is a bag of French fries, in this single screen platform puzzler. You have help in the form of a magical kitten who can fly nearly anywhere on the screen and can be used to push blocks and climb on. The game kind of reminds me of BoxBoy, although not near as good, but also a game I reviewed a few years ago called Two Dee and Topdee. 1 CatLine is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Avenue Escape is a puzzle game about directing traffic. Yeah they’ll make a game out of anything these days. Clear out all the white vans by noting which directions they’ll turn and try to keep them from crashing into each other, running over pedestrians, or running red lights. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Reader Review: The NewZealand Story: Untold Adventure (PC)
Posted on March 23rd, 2026 by
When my brothers were very young, I would usually start them off playing video games with classic arcade titles. One time I showed my brother Jeff the Taito Legends collection, and he gravitated toward The NewZealand Story, an arcade platformer where you play as a cute kiwi and fire arrows at baddies. The game is notorious for being very challenging, but my brother Jeff was determined to beat it. He got pretty far, way farther than I had patience for, so I admired his determination. He got to a stage in the clouds and when he beat it, an angel said that he made it to heaven and can rest now. And then the game ended! Jeff was so mad that he got a ‘bad’ ending, but we also laughed about how the game essentially ‘trolled’ him. We still joke about it to this day! So I thought it was only appropriate for him to review The NewZealand Story: Untold Adventure, an update to the arcade classic for the PC. –Cary Woodham

The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 1 & 2)
Posted on March 16th, 2026 by
Back in the late 80’s and early to mid 90’s, Disney had a block of weekday after school cartoons on TV called The Disney Afternoon. They featured such memorable and high-quality shows like DuckTales, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and many more. Tons of people, including myself, have very fond memories watching these cartoons as kids. Game maker Capcom even made some bonafide classic games based on those Disney Afternoon cartoons. About a decade ago, they released a collection of those games, and I reviewed it here, as well as wrote an extra special article about the cartoons and games here. I loved that collection, but two things always baffled me. Why wasn’t it released on Switch, and why was it missing two other SNES Disney Afternoon games? Well now those questions are answered with The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch 1 and 2!

I’ve been hearing a lot about K-Pop lately. I guess it’s become popular thanks in part to that K-Pop Demon Hunters movie and whatnot. And now you can play a free-to-play match three puzzle game on mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here) featuring favorite K-Pop stars in cartoony, “chibi” forms that make me think of those Tiny Tan Happy Meal toys McDonald’s had last year.
