Several years ago I reviewed a game called Don’t Die, Mr. Robot. It was a simple arcade style game where you controlled a square robot and avoided enemies while collecting fruit and coins and chaining explosions. And now they’ve made a 3D version of it. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Games!
Posted on March 21st, 2025 by
So we all know that Wallace and Gromit have had lots of stop motion clay adventures on the small and big screen. But did you know they’ve had quite a lot of video games, too? They’re both old and recent and cover a wide variety of genres, too! So to end Wallace and Gromit Week, I thought we’d go over all their video games here. And if there were/are any mobile games or browser games starring them, I won’t be going over those. Either I missed out on them or don’t feel like going THAT deep.
PowerWash Simulator: Wallace and Gromit Special Pack (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on March 19th, 2025 by
A couple of years ago I reviewed a game called PowerWash Simulator. It’s a game where you use a power washer to hose down all sorts of things. Yeah they’ll make a game out of anything nowadays, won’t they? But since it is a video game, they got pretty imaginative with it, and you could download all sorts of DLC to power wash things like Final Fantasy 7 vehicles, Lara Croft’s mansion from Tomb Raider, Back to the Future vehicles, SpongeBob’s neighborhood, and Shrek’s swamp. All of those are cool and all, but it wasn’t enough to make me want to get them and play the game again. That is, until recently when they added a Wallace and Gromit pack. So I caved in and had to review it. Wallace’s inventions have made a mess of his house and machines, so he invents the WashLad to clean things up! The DLC and the game are available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
O.W.L Projekt 2 (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

This has gotta be some kind of record! I only reviewed the first game a few short months ago, and now there’s already a sequel? But it’s pretty much more of the same. This time you play as a thing that looks more like the eggplant men in Wrecking Crew with a walking stick, and your job is to guide him around isometric diorama mazes to reach an exit block. Kind of reminds me of Captain Toad or those isometric adventure games you would see a lot on British computers in the 80s (or like Solstice on the NES). It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Piczle Cross: Rune Factory (Switch, PC)
Posted on March 10th, 2025 by
Last year around this time I reviewed a game called Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons. It was a nonogram puzzle game and those types of puzzles in video game form are often called Picross or a variation of that name. But this one had a theme. The pictures you could make were based off of things and characters from the Story of Seasons games. These were farming sims that were around way before Stardew Valley got popular. You might know these games better as Harvest Moon, as that’s what those games were called before the rights changed. Anyway, the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games had a spinoff series called Rune Factory. These were more fantasy based, and they streamlined the farming parts so you’d have more time to go fight monsters in dungeons! I actually like the Rune Factory games more than Story of Seasons, and now there is a Piczle Cross game based on the Rune Factory series as well! It’s available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.

I had my brother Ben review a game I probably would never play myself, but it’s nice to have variety every now and then. So please check out his review of this duology of games! –Cary
Moe Waifu H Fantasy (PS4, PS5, Switch)
Posted on March 5th, 2025 by
I don’t know what the “Moe” means, but isn’t Waifu what you connect your internet up to? Just kidding! I’m not that out of touch. I think Waifu means like a pretend girlfriend or something. Anyway, this game is a simple music rhythm game where you press buttons in time to the music while being accompanied by pretty anime ladies. It’s available on current PlayStation consoles and Switch, but reviewed on PS4 here.
X-Out: Resurfaced (Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC)
Posted on March 3rd, 2025 by
Originally X-Out was a 2D horizontal shooter for computers like the C64 and Amiga. And now you can play the later version on most current consoles (reviewed on Switch here) with X-Out: Resurfaced. While most 2D shooters are set in space, this one is a little more unique in that you’re underwater. In that way, it reminds me of a classic arcade shooter from Irem called In the Hunt.
Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on February 26th, 2025 by
A few years ago, I reviewed a game called Super Jagger Bomb that was a near carbon copy of an obscure arcade game called Bomb Jack. It was such a blatant rip off that I was surprised Tecmo (makers of Bomb Jack), didn’t sue. Well now the makers of that first game have the gall to release a sequel! In Super Jagger Bomb 2, you play as a super hero who must collect all the bombs in single screen stages while avoiding enemies. The sequel adds a few new things, but it’s more or less the same game. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Freddy Farmer (Switch, PC)
Posted on February 24th, 2025 by
A dragon has kidnapped Freddy Farmer’s daughter, and he seeks the help of a wizard to help get her back. The wizard tasks him to get ingredients for a potion, but they have to be collected in a certain order. Help Freddy get those ingredients in this Donkey Kong inspired retro arcade style game where you must climb ladders and jump over enemies. Actually this game is a lot like another lesser known arcade game called Arabian, which was actually one of SunSoft’s first games alongside Kangaroo! Anyway, Freddy Farmer is available on Nintendo Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
