I don’t know what the “Moe” means, but isn’t Waifu what you connect your internet up to? Just kidding! I’m not that out of touch. I think Waifu means like a pretend girlfriend or something. Anyway, this game is a simple music rhythm game where you press buttons in time to the music while being accompanied by pretty anime ladies. It’s available on current PlayStation consoles and Switch, but reviewed on PS4 here.
X-Out: Resurfaced (Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Posted on March 3rd, 2025 by
Originally X-Out was a 2D horizontal shooter for computers like the C64 and Amiga. And now you can play the later version on most current consoles (reviewed on Switch here) with X-Out: Resurfaced. While most 2D shooters are set in space, this one is a little more unique in that you’re underwater. In that way, it reminds me of a classic arcade shooter from Irem called In the Hunt.
Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on February 26th, 2025 by
A few years ago, I reviewed a game called Super Jagger Bomb that was a near carbon copy of an obscure arcade game called Bomb Jack. It was such a blatant rip off that I was surprised Tecmo (makers of Bomb Jack), didn’t sue. Well now the makers of that first game have the gall to release a sequel! In Super Jagger Bomb 2, you play as a super hero who must collect all the bombs in single screen stages while avoiding enemies. The sequel adds a few new things, but it’s more or less the same game. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Freddy Farmer (Switch, PC)
Posted on February 24th, 2025 by
A dragon has kidnapped Freddy Farmer’s daughter, and he seeks the help of a wizard to help get her back. The wizard tasks him to get ingredients for a potion, but they have to be collected in a certain order. Help Freddy get those ingredients in this Donkey Kong inspired retro arcade style game where you must climb ladders and jump over enemies. Actually this game is a lot like another lesser known arcade game called Arabian, which was actually one of SunSoft’s first games alongside Kangaroo! Anyway, Freddy Farmer is available on Nintendo Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Unplugged: Dungeons & Dragons 2024
Posted on February 22nd, 2025 by
Whether it is streamers, or pop culture icons (I suppose some are both) the role-playing hobby continues to make inroads to mainstream culture. Leading the pack is Dungeons and Dragons. With this week’s release of the new Monster Manual, D&D has just finished a refresh of their 2014 “5th Edition” ruleset. This new, “D&D 2024” edition is fully backwards compatible with the 2024 rules but has smoothed out some rough edges and attempts to provide a more helpful presentation of the material. In brief, the game has punched up the fun aspects for players, provided more concrete advice for new players, and souped up the monsters to provide more variety and more challenging monsters. While there is no dire need for anyone to change over from the 2014 rules (you can even run players running characters from each edition at the same time), new players should certainly start with the 2024 rules and hard-core players will probably see advantages in going with the new, adjusted rules.

A bad guy has kidnapped Tsetseg the witch’s spooky friends (skeleton, ghost, pumpkin, etc.) and not it’s up to her to save them! Tsetseg’s Adventure is an 8-bit styled 2D platformer on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Catagrams (Mobile)
Posted on February 17th, 2025 by
It’s been a long time since I reviewed a mobile game! But here’s a free to play one where you solve word challenges and it’s like a cross between Scrabble and a crossword puzzle. You get points for solving them, and when you get enough, you can unlock a part of an outfit for a cartoon cat. Catagrams is available on mobile devices but reviewed on iPad here.
Mechanita (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on February 12th, 2025 by
Help a mechanic escape a obstacle-laden, robot-filled scrap yard in Mechanita. It’s a 2D platform game where the levels are hardly bigger than one screen, and you must use the robots’ abilities to help you pass the levels. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Mini Market Design (Switch)
Posted on February 10th, 2025 by
Do you like imaging designing your own market displays? Or maybe you like creating shops in spinoff games like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer or Happy Home Paradise. Well now you can do that in Mini Market Design on Nintendo Switch. It actually plays just like a game I reviewed a couple of weeks ago called My Cozy Room.
