Captain Soda (Switch, PC)
One of my favorite kinds of games are ones where you run around mazes chasing after things or running away from things. That’s why Pac-Man is still my number one favorite game of all time. Other games in this category I like sometimes have more platforming elements, like Bubble Bobble (another one of my all time favorites). So I was pleasantly surprised when reviewing Captain Soda, as it reminds me a lot of Bubble Bobble, Guzzler, and other games of that ilk. In this one you play as a soda bottle with a cape as you blow bubbles and other fizzy attacks at baddies in this single screen arcade style action game. It’s available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.
70’s Style Robot Anime Geppy-X (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Even though I was born in the mid to late 70s, I did watch a lot of older anime in the 80s when I was a kid. Shows like Speed Racer, Star Blazers, Voltron, Battletech, and others. But what if you combined the style and animations of these old cartoons and put them in a 2D horizontally side scrolling giant robot shooter, complete with intro and outro credits and theme songs, previews for the next episode, and even toy commercials? Well you’d get Geppy-X, that’s what! Originally released on the PlayStation only in Japan back in 1999, you can now play it on modern consoles (reviewed on Switch here).
Quack Quack Attack (Mobile)
Parking Garage Rally Circuit (Switch, PC)
If you’ve ever wanted to race around parking garages all over the US (and Europe if you get the DLC), then Parking Garage Rally Circuit is for you. Race around parking garages in all sorts of locations in this silly throwback racer that feels like a PSOne game! It’s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Rat Protocol (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Grand Vegas Casino (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Naturally the students, faculty, and even law enforcement will try to stop her. Guide Sibella as she tosses syringes at people and robots in her crazy quest for love in this Mega Man inspired 2D platformer. It’s available on PlayStation consoles and Switch, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Springbot: The Last Spark (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Secret Paws: Cozy Apartments (Switch, PC)
Last year I reviewed a game called Secret Paws: Cozy Offices. It was a hidden picture hide and seek Easter Egg hunt kind of game. You looked for little squarish cats hidden in office settings like cubicles, desks, meeting rooms, and more! And now you can look for those cats in residential settings like bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms with Secret Paws: Cozy Apartments. It’s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Pictonico (Mobile)
The weirdest thing about this game is not that it’s a WarioWare styled title where they take your photos and make mini-games out of them. No the weird thing is that this is a new mobile game developed and published by Nintendo! I thought they were done with mobile, but I guess not! Anyway, Pictonico is available on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.
