Cartel Tycoon (1980s Narcotics Business Sim)
Lol what a perfect idea for a game. I love playing sims, mostly those of the deep dive type made famous by Side Meier. Civilization, duh. In his incredible programming career, dude also started the tycoon craze, whereby the player runs some sort of business. He was not the first to conceive of this […]

Expedition Zero (Finish Your Chores Survival Horror)
Here I go again with a survival horror review, am I going to say it? Yes. The genre usually relies on story. In many cases it’s more like playing a book than a game, because the player is left to click on obvious items while following a force-fed path as the plot unfolds. I […]

Martha is Dead (Folkloric Stolen Identity Psychological Horror Game)
Here again I feel like I have to pull out the “you just don’t get it” mantra due to negative reviews I skimmed concerning this latest psychological horror, ahem, masterpiece. Ugh, it’s the same old, tiresome complaints, too. The gameplay is tedious, the shock horror was unnecessary, the story was too long, blah blah […]

Turbo Overkill (Chainsaw Leg Cyberpunk Retro FPS)
Dang I don’t think anyone can do any wrong with this type of game anymore. The resurgence of interest in retro FPS has been, well, not so much a resurgence as an institution. I’ve covered a few games of this type over the past few years, and this recent drop is just sick. Set […]

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt (Just Slaughter Everything Dark Battle Royale)
As we all painfully wait for Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to finally freaking be released, us vampire fanatics had to contend with admittedly good text-adventures on Steam, the news of an upcoming, and looking average RPG (Swansong) and, hmm, wait, a fooking battle royale just crush everything game? I get to use vampire […]

Midnight Ghost Hunt (Get Owned Hide and Kill Prop Game)
Ah, the prop hunt. Such a simple idea, though this one is not the first game of its kind, with 2020’s Witch It coming to mind. Midnight Ghost Hunt is more serious in tone and darker, but for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, let’s start there. A prop hunt game is simply […]

Rainbow Six Extraction (Strategy FPS and Aliens Too)
Rainbow Six Siege burst on the scene nearly seven years ago and quickly became a riveting success. Launching in the shadow of big-budgeted, action-packed, run-and-guns, it had a slow, methodical, style that appealed to a large group that wanted a “thinking man’s” FPS, if you will. Now in 2022 after numerous updates, we get […]

Chasing Static (Another Retro Horror Romp with Unlocks)
Survival horror yay! Not always yay, actually, often smellay. This one isn’t at that level, though, so don’t worry, I just felt like a rhyme. For anyone new, let me give my usual explanation of what makes this game type work. It’s like playing through a finely crafted novel; it needs one, a good […]

World of Horror (Horror Manga Point-and-Click Game)
Just wow. Reviewing video games is much more difficult than the usual music crud on this site. They’re not as easy for fans to access, they can require more money (if we’re talking about digital anyway), and they take longer to assess. But recently we fools at Deaf Sparrow have been restructuring the review […]

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm (Not For Adults Kid Horror Game)
Survival horror has came a long way from Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill, and others, growing in popularity over the past two decades. Beginning as a strictly for-adults genre, it progressed into horror…for kids. Due in huge part to the massive success of Five Nights at Freddy’s, coupled with the boom of kid […]
