Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game - No Fooling (Review)

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game has not surprised me at all. It is as I predicted in a Jimquisition a while ago - just another intellectual property slapped onto an unimaginative multiplay...

Such A Poor And Profitable Industry (The Jimquisition)

Star Wars: Hunters - Boba Shitt (Review)

The game industry can be really disgusting, and Star Wars: Hunters proves it. A vicious, nasty, predatory little monster. 2024-06-05 14:46:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Monsters, Memes, and Money: Silent Hill 2 Remake's Worrying Nonsense (The Jimquisition)

Konami showed off a lot of Silent Hill 2 Remake recently. It has some promising stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of that promise is of bad, bad nonsense.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 - What's In A Name? (Review)

Indika - Faith Value (Review)

Our first 10/10 in quite a well, and deservingly so! Indika is a truly unique and special experience, a game that boldly tackles its subject matter in both touching and deeply strange ways. 2024-05-21 16:33:26 +0000 UTC View Post

The One Where Microsoft Admits Game Studios Are F*cked (The Jimquisition)

Crow Country - Park Of Darkness (Review)

Crow Country has been getting a lot of traction among survival horror fans, and with good reason. It's a really, really good retro horror that does it miles better than its peers. 2024-05-15 14:39:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer - It Slays (Review)

Stellar Blade Review - So Nier And Yet So Far (Review)

It's Stellar Blade, a game that doesn't deserve the absurd amount of "controversy" drummed up about it. It's a pretty decent mimicry of Nier with a lot less clothing. 2024-05-07 15:14:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Helldivers 2, Sker Ritual, and (hilariously) Suicide Squad, have all been borderline (or totally) unplayable at crucial moments thanks to their online failings. The Outlast Trials could've stood to...

Sker Ritual continues the trend of online games being borderline unplayable at launch, and that’s about all it contributes to the medium of interactive entertainment. It's a really bad time that ...
