Rise of the Golden Idol Review- I’m Still A Detective, Damn It
A review code for this game was provided by Playstack When I played Case of the Golden Idol (the first game in this series) earlier this year, I was beyond impressed in a myriad of ways. I came into that game craving a more authentic detective experience, and it delivered that in spades. But where…

My Top 7 Games of 2024 That I Didn’t Finish
Completing a game isn’t everything. Over the years, I have had many games that I really liked or even loved that I didn’t finish. Sometimes, the game was just a bit too long, and I felt fine calling it quits after 50-60 hours. Occasionally, a game is awesome but doesn’t have difficulty settings, and I…
