UFO 50 (Switch, PC)

Posted on September 3rd, 2025 by
I’m about to show just how old I am. I remember when my dad got our first computer. I was around kindergarten age, and the computer was an Apple ][+. We had it through most of my Elementary School years I think. Anyway, after we got it, sometimes my dad would bring home a case of floppy disks home from work. I would put each one in, not knowing what I’d get. Sometimes it would be a boring application. And sometimes it wouldn’t work at all. But sometimes it would have games that I’d like. That’s how I discovered titles like Snack Attack, Lode Runner, Drol, Hard Hat Mack, Spare Change, Choplifter, Aquatron, and more! Now granted, looking back on it now, I think most of those games were pirated, but I don’t think either me or my dad knew what that was at the time. Anyway, that grab bag of gaming fun is the feeling I get when playing UFO 50, a collection of 50 8-bit styled games. It’s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Mario Kart World was recently released as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title. I was lucky enough to get a Switch 2, thanks to help from my family. So let’s take a road trip tour at all the tracks you can race on in the game. So grab your road trip snacks and let’s roll!
Toree Saturn (Switch, PC)

Help a little yellow bird with sunglasses compete against his evil mohawk wearing rival Hawkee in Toree Saturn. It’s a 3D platformer clearly inspired by Sonic games on Dreamcast. You’ll run through almost a dozen stages using speed boosters and skill to get ahead. The game is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Maiden Cops (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on August 20th, 2025 by
In Maiden City, the police force and most of the population are made up of ladies who are half human, half animal. OK, a little weird, but at least it’s a bit more imaginative. Anyway, play as one of three ladies in the Maiden Cops police force as you take down a gang of liberators who are trying to take over the city in this beat ‘em up that’s clearly inspired by classics such as Final Fight and Streets of Rage. Maiden Cops is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Secret Paws: Cozy Offices (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Find little cats hidden all over office cubicles in Secret Paws: Cozy Offices. It’s like a hidden picture hide and seek Easter egg hunt kind of game. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Hogtie (Switch, PC)
Posted on August 13th, 2025 by
I’ve reviewed lots of “Sokoban” style puzzle games where you push blocks around to solve puzzles. But the problem is that they may have different coats of paint, they’re still mostly all the same. So it’s nice and refreshing to play one that has new ideas. In Hogtie, you play as a cowboy who must rope pigs and drag them to their pen. But you’ll have to deal with aspects like the placement of the pig, avoiding mud (pigs won’t go in their pen dirty), barrels that block your way and how you can use your rope to move them around, and much more. Hogtie is available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.
Cottonville (Switch, PC)
Posted on August 11th, 2025 by
If you want a game that combines farming with fashion, then Cottonville is for you. Create a character and move into a farm where you’ll grow crops. But these crops aren’t for eating. You’ll use them to make fabric and dyes, and then sew them to make all sorts of clothes. Your house also doubles as a shop, and when you have enough, you can sell your clothes to customers to buy more seeds so you can grow crops and make more clothes, and repeat the process indefinitely. Cottonville is available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Regina & Mac (Switch, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on August 6th, 2025 by
This game is obviously trying to imitate Banjo-Kazooie. Your characters are a lizard who doesn’t talk (Mac), and a wisecracking parrot who rides on him (Regina). You travel across 3D platforming worlds collecting stuff, but instead of notes and jigsaw piece “Jiggies,” you are collecting cubes and golden “Floppies” (disks). Even the music uses the same kinds of instruments (meaning lots of bari saxophone and xylophone). Regina & Mac is available on some consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
