Folks, I'm back on my House Flipper bullshit. The long-awaited (by me, and other honest-to-goodness human beings, I swear!) Garden Flipper DLC is now out on Steam. The original simulation game tasked players with clearing out nasty homes, s...

Automachef is basically an episode of How It's Made in video game form, and I'm all about it. The upcoming PC and Nintendo Switch simulation title tasks hopeful food tycoons with devising automated kitchens. This trailer starts out straight...

Smoke the competition in today's contest for a Steam copy of Weedcraft Inc. Ok, I'm going to resist making any more drugs jokes in this post. There have already been like three, and that's just in the title and subheader alone. Anyway, thos...

Most career-based games set out to either emulate a job to a T or build upon their most interesting tasks. For instance, American Truck Simulator sets out to simulate a delivery truck driver's experience as accurately as possible. Game Dev ...

I just can't trust myself with some games, and simulation and strategy titles definitely fall into that category. The open beta for Anno 1800 is up and running on PC, but I'm afraid of what'll happen if I start playing. A "few minutes" turn...

The early reactions to My Time at Portia weren't convincing enough for me to drop whatever I was playing at the time, but I've left the crop-growing, ruin-exploring, relationship-navigating life sim on my low-priority backlog. I'll get to i...

House Flipper may seem like a throwaway Steam game at first glance, and for many people, that's probably an accurate assessment. But me? I dug it. I really did. House Flipper is a laid-back simulation game in which you buy houses, tidy up d...

After years of wading around on its own hosted website and supporting itself through Patreon, the mother of all rogue simulations Dwarf Fortress is making its way to Steam and Itch.io in the near future. Part-management-sim, part-rogue, Dwa...

Amazon's Alexa is pretty handy for getting a party started. Just shout out a random genre and it will start playing songs from its user-generated playlists. If you're in an "I hate the world" mood, you can shout Taking Back Sunday and let y...

March is starting to look like a super busy month for gaming. Tropico 6 was originally scheduled for a January 25, 2019 release date, but will now be shipping on March 29, 2019. The reason for the delay came after a closed beta session last...

Civilization VI on iOS is one of the best examples of how to translate a hit PC title to tablets and phones, as well as one of the most expensive. The $60 asking price for the mobile port is far beyond what most other apps charge upfro...
