I remember jealously guarding my Halloween candy when I was a child. I would stash little caches of sugary goodness behind the couch, in my closet, and underneath my bed. I’m sure my mom thought I was crazy, but candy can be more precious than gold to a child. In this game, candy is the only thing you’ll be after, too. Continue reading

Murder of Crows Game Review

Crows are associated with death and dying for a reason. As scavengers, they frequent battlefields, cemeteries, and busy highways looking for a corpse. The fact that a gathering of crows is referred to as a “Murder” has nothing to do with this bird’s macabre appearance or habit of picking over the remains of the deceased. Regardless, the crow remains to some a symbol off ill omen and death. Think about that the next time you see them flocking over your head… Continue reading

Nostalgia is a funny thing. We yearn for what we remember to be a simpler time, full of meaningful people, places, and things. In actuality, I believe, we are yearning just to be happy.

Bad Beets Game Review

I remember cauliflower being the worst thing in the world. I would scream and cry at the dinner table when it was served. Yeah, I was a great kid. My mom would cover it in sauces, melted cheese, and even attempted to hide it. No matter how hard she tried, my cauliflower always ended up on the floor. In this game, you’ll be doing the same, but don’t get caught! Continue reading

For centuries, men and woman have competed in combative matches to determine who is stronger, faster, and smarter. This became very boring.
