RPG and Video Game Reviews from the Great White North
I’m not the world’s biggest Sanrio fan, but I do have fond memories of growing up watching Hello Kitty and Keroppi & Friends. As an adult, I’ve grown pretty fond of Kuromi and Cinnamoroll, plus I have a soft spot for Hello Mimmy, since I had a beloved cat named Mim. Hello Kitty Island Adventure looked like an excellent and nostalgic way... Continue Reading →
Grandia came out in Japan in 1997, and first hit English-language store shelves in 1999. 25 years later, it was remastered in the Grandia HD Collection, comprising the first 2 games of the series. I hadn’t played Grandia when it first released, but I did play a little of the sequel shortly after high school. (Ain't it grand to... Continue Reading →
A little while ago, I stumbled across a review of Trash Goblin, a game about a little goblin living and working as someone who cleans up random items and sells them to people. While that might not sound exciting on the surface (and indeed, exciting isn’t exactly the word I’d use to describe this game), it sounded exactly like... Continue Reading →
Pokémon was a very different beast back in the day. I was around when the Gen 1 hype was building outside of Japan, and I was absolutely thrilled when I got to play Pokémon Red for the 1st time. I borrowed my friend’s Gameboy and played a little during performance rehearsals at school. That little... Continue Reading →
Powerwash Simulator was a game I sank well over 100 hours into, and considering I don’t even have all the DLC for it, I think that’s a testament to how enjoyable I found it. Powerwash Simulator 2, naturally, was a must-buy! Did it hold up in comparison? Let’s take a look. Powerwash SimulatorGenre(s) - casual, simulatorOriginal release... Continue Reading →
Picross (also called nonogram) puzzles are very hit-or-miss for a lot of people. They either gel with the idea, or they don’t. Myself, I like them, though most of the ones I find now are made for mobile and don’t come with good resizing options, making them difficult to play at higher tile counts. Enter Squeakross, a...

Hey, it's your friendly neighbourhood Potato Witch; welcome back to the show. It's been... a while. I don't blame anyone for wondering or not wondering about where I was. That's part of the ephemeral nature of the Internet. Circumstances change, people come and go, and while I hate the sentiment, it's true in a sense... Continue Reading →
Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet is an infamous game. Even if you've never played it, chances are you've heard how it's one of the worst games of all time, how nobody with sense actually likes it, how it's a travesty of a video game. The thing of it is...I used to really enjoy it when I... Continue Reading →
I first played Suikoden back in Ye Olden Dayes of video games, the original game on the original Playstation, and while I didn't beat it back then (I had a terrible habit of starting games but rarely finishing them), it did kind of blow my mind a bit. Huge cast of characters, political intrigue out... Continue Reading →
Full disclosure that may hold more info than you think is revelant, but I am slightly obsessed with vampires. ...Maybe a bit more than slightly. I've had a thing for them since I was 8 years old, and nothing's going to make me stop loving them now! I've also been in therapy before. Not due... Continue Reading →
