    Review: Butter Royale

    Butter Royale is another offering in the mobile battle royale genre. Butter Royale is available on Apple Arcade, and it’s trying to be different, but will it be a standout or just another forgettable mobile battle royale? Battle Royale I have said a lot about my love of battle royales (excluding Fortnite) in the past, so I was happy to get a battle royale on Apple Arcade. Most battle royales are 100 players but here we have 32 instead. Normal battle royale rules do apply: spa

    Review: Ballistic Baseball

    As a lapsed baseball fan, all I need is one good game to get back into the sport. I used to like realistic sim baseball — like MLB The Show — but I recently found joy in arcade baseball games, like Super Mega Baseball. This looks like it should satisfy my arcade baseball desire, but does it deliver, or will it strike out? Controls and Presentation Let's start off with the very little good there is to say about this one. For what you are able to do it, it controls well. The re

You watch everything play out from the perspective of the murderer and the detective. You’re watching the detective piece together all of t

    Review: Explottens

    Explottens is an arcade twin stick shooter. You pilot a plane as Kit, a cat on a mission to save his world from destruction. It’s available on both Apple Arcade and Steam. I’m more of a dog lover than cats, but was this game good enough for me to become a cat person? Story You take control of Kit who is a retired hero. Kit has to leave his quiet life behind and get back in the air to save the day. The story is given to you through text, mostly before boss encounters. There is
