Oh Deer!

  • Oh Deer!
  • Developer- Necrosoft
  • Publisher- Necrosoft
  • PlayStation Vita (PS Mobile)

Playstation Mobile is about to be put to rest, but not before one final shout before its end. Oh Deer! is both thorough homage and recontextualization,  something that repurposes the aesthetics and vibrations of the original game for a cheap and absurd shock. That is, it’s an Outrun style driving game where you drive a station wagon through lines of deer on your way to grandma’s house.

  • Sunset
  • Developer- Tale of Tales
  • Publisher- Tale of Tales
  • PC (itch.io, Steam)

Sunset is a game about being caught between worlds. Told in half hour segments before sunset, it tells the story of Angela, a Black university graduate from Baltimore living as a housekeeper in a Latin American country on the verge of revolution. It’s a narrative both reverent and stumbling. Ambitious and vibrant, but still finding its way.

Five 7th Gen RPGs you should consider playing.

The 7th generation lived a long life. With the Wii, PS3, and 360 nearing the bargain bin, one could easily pick up one of those consoles up with a few RPGs and be entertained for hours on end. Here are five RPGs I think that people should check out if they haven’t already. (In no particular order)

Note this list does contain personal tidbits and experiences and is presented such as if we were talking in real life.

When coming overseas, Not A Hero loses a bit of Humour.

I’ve played quite a bit of Not A Hero lately. It’s a solid game from the people who brought us Olli Olli. It doesn’t hit on as many points as their previous game did, largely due to a sense of level design that chops up the pace of the game, and makes the proceedings a bit more frustrating when you fail. In that way it reminds me a bit of Vanquish, a game that presents an incredible sense of mastery over your hostile environment when it all aligns and you nail it, but can frustrate up until your able to. What struck me more than that, however, was its sense of humour.

Splatoon Review

  • Splatoon
  • Developed by: Nintendo

  • Wii U
  • Rating - E10+

When you think of a multiplayer shooter, I bet you don’t think of Nintendo’s first party games. In fact, that last relevant Nintendo exclusive multiplayer shooter was released nearly 20 years ago. Well, Nintendo finally remembered that people like to play games other than Mario and Zelda games and released a new IP, Splatoon. Now Nintendo fans need not get an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4 to enjoy a good shooter.
