900 MAX HX (Headphones)

Posted on September 28th, 2023 by
I was recently offered a RIG 900 MAX HX (yes, all caps) headphone to try out, and so I did. It is a somewhat high-end headset for use with an Xbox or PC. It comes with a boom mic, USB or Bluetooth connections, and a spiffy charging dock. I found the headset extremely comfortable, easy to use, and sounded great but it was a bit frustrating to use switching between sources. On comfort alone, it beats out all the other headsets I’ve had over the past few years.
Pups and Purrs Pet Shop (Switch)

Now you can work at a pet store with Pups and Purrs Pet Shop. Do retail themed mini-games like scan barcodes, clean the floors, and stick on prices as well as take care of pets. All sorts of cats and dogs are waiting for you to play mini-games to brush, feed, and play with them. And when they’re ready, you can find forever homes for them, too! This is actually a sequel/spinoff to a game I reviewed a couple of years ago called Pups and Purrs Animal Hospital.
Giant Wishes (Switch)
Posted on September 25th, 2023 by
A lady who runs a flower shop is tired of being mistreated by all the men in her village, so she seeks out a giant lady who may be able to help her turn into a giant herself. Giant Wishes is a visual novel on Switch. Normally I don’t review these, but every once in a while I may try one to see if I like them better. It hasn’t happened yet, though.
Taito Milestones 2 (Switch)
Posted on September 22nd, 2023 by
Video game maker Taito has a lot of history behind it. Just as much as other long-time developers such as Namco and even Nintendo! Some of the games they’ve made you’ve surely heard of, like Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Bust-A-Move, and many, many more. And now there’s a second collection of classic Taito games on the Switch, so let’s take a look at what’s on there! Click here to check out the first Taito Milestones!

Unplugged: Number Drop
Posted on September 19th, 2023 by
In the past few years, the boardgame world has seen a huge number of Roll and Write games where dice are rolled (or cards drawn) and then players simultaneously use the results to check off boxes or fill in a paper handout to score points. Number Drop has players filling in a sheet of paper Tetris-style with the pieces made of numbers. Place numbers adjacent to each other in sets or sequences to score points. The game ends and scores are tallied when one player “overflows” their game board.
Number Drop

Space Invaders World Defense (Mobile)
Posted on September 15th, 2023 by
If you ask me, the Space Invaders have already won. They first took all of our money back in the 70s with the original arcade game. And now, they’re making us stand outside looking like fools with our cell phones in Space Invaders World Defense. It’s a mobile game (reviewed on iPhone here) that uses Google mapping and AR technology to zap the iconic blocky aliens in real world surroundings!
Dogotchi (Switch, Mobile)
Posted on September 13th, 2023 by
Travel back to the late 90s when keychain virtual pets were the big thing with Dogotchi on Switch. Take care of different breeds of dogs by feeding and cleaning up after them, and playing games to make them happy. It even features black and white pixel graphics and sounds! I’ve already reviewed a version of this game that features cats, and this is exactly the same game, but with dogs!
Fluffy Milo (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on September 11th, 2023 by
Help Milo the cat push cartons of milk into his dishes in Fluffy Milo, a block pushing puzzle game. Well you push the whole carton into the dish without pouring it out, so not sure what good that does, but it’s just a game. If this premise sounds really familiar, it’s probably because I reviewed a game just like it about half a year ago called Sissa’s Path. Fluffy Milo is available on all current game consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here. There’s a name for these types of games in Japan called Sokaban, and it reminds me of titles like Boxxle, Chip’s Challenge, or Adventures of Lolo.
