This Attack of the Karens review is played and tested on the Nintendo Switch. Attack of the Karens is available for $4.99/4.99 Euro on the Nintendo Switch and is also available for PC on Steam. “Attack of the Karens” offers an interesting spin on shooters, one that I didn’t expect much from when I first learned about the game. My initial skepticism was largely due to the inclusion of the term “Karen.” The term “Karen” has become associated with traits like entitlement, snobbery, and being stuck up. It gained prominence around 2020 due to several embarrassing incidents, mostly in the…

Playing The Gravity Trickster brought back vibes and memories of a game that was special to us in The United States, Europe, and in Japan. The original game in question has three separate names for its three regions. In Japan it was known as “KulaQuest”, in Europe as “Kula World”, and in North America, with the sad but true name, “Roll Away”.  I can not speak for my Japanese and European counterparts, but in North America, this game did not sell well and was not sought after in any way during or after its initial run. It would take a quarter…

The X68000 Computer was created and initially released by Sharp on March 28, 1987, at the incredible price of ¥369,000 ($3,000 US). It…

This is a Zool Redimensioned review, played and tested on Playstation 5. Zool is available for PS4 and PS5 and Steam for $9.99/€9,99. When Zool came out for the first time on consoles and handhelds, this world was a lot different then it is now. However Americans like myself were in the era of the “Chupa Chups”. A Chupa Chups, was a lollipop that was once all the rage, back in 1992. They came in many flavors and contained a ton of sugar and kept a then ten-year old Jimmy bouncing off the walls. During that era, Zool was arguably…
