Maneater might not top anyone's most-wanted-games list for 2020, but a budget-friendly open-world action-RPG about a shark "eating [its] way up the ecosystem" sounds cathartic. Every few years someone captures my imagination with a promisi...

E-Line Media's oceanic adventure Beyond Blue launched last week on Apple Arcade, and while I adore the premise of an educational-focused diving game produced in collaboration with BBC Studios, I can't exactly say that's something I want to ...

As much as I adore Planet Zoo, I can't say I'm loving Frontier Developments' piecemeal approach to DLC. The first add-on, the Arctic Pack, had its place – but I worried about diminishing returns, and sure enough, here they are. This w...

When you're a shark, you have to feel pretty confident about your standings in the underwater food chain. It's like being a human on land. Sure, maybe a bear will ruthlessly murder me and play with my skull, but there's only a very slim ch...

I enjoyed my time with Maneater far more than I had any right to. For what is essentially a shark simulator (or a "shaRkPG," as Tripwire calls it), there was a surprising amount of balance between the calm and the ridiculous. At some points...

I've been reporting on the public nuisance that is cats for quite some time now, so it should come as no surprise that I'm back to alert the world to another cat-astrophic video game. This time, however, things take a slightly sadder turn a...

Yesterday, Planet Zoo got the first of surely many DLC packs to come. This first paid add-on – the Arctic Pack – makes a great impression up front. There's just one problem: it's over before you know it. Fans have been clamoring...

Frontier Developments is checking a few more species off Planet Zoo's most-wanted-animals list. The first of surely many DLC packs to come is the Arctic Pack, a $10 add-on launching December 17, 2019. Along with two zoo scenarios, we're g...

I am enamored with Skatebird, an appropriately-titled skateboarding video game that's releasing on Steam and – as announced today during the Indie World showcase – Nintendo Switch in 2020. I'm not the type of person who expresse...

Planet Zoo captures the spirit of Zoo Tycoon in a way I've only dreamed of until now. It's the zoo simulation I've waited 15 years for someone, anyone, to nail. Frontier Developments pulled it off. I wasn't necessarily the target audience f...

Today's contest features a Blu-ray copy of The Lion King -- come win it! The original Lion King is definitely one of those big, epic animated films that really dominated the early part of my childhood. I of course loved Disney movies back t...

It seems like forever and a day ago when I first wrote about HouseHouse's comical stealth title Untitled Goose Game. Back then, the misadventures of our feathered frenemy immediately won over an audience in seconds. Today, now out in the wi...
