Chicken Police – Paint it Red! (Clucking Animal Noir Game)
At some point in the course of my playthrough of Chicken Police, the new LA-noir-but-where-everybody-has-an-animal-for-a-head game from Handygames, me and my roommate decided we would drink to Sonny Featherland, our protagonist, every time he or his junior partner Marty MacChicken made use of any form of “cluck” (as in “cluck off”), and any time […]

Not an easy sell these days, that reading business, but a serial killer noir thriller? Easy victory. Or, rather, it could be. In Night Call you’re a Parisian […]

The Neon Demon (2016) – The Wicked Die Young
Some people think I’m too slow. What’s the point of reviewing something if it was released months ago? Well, I actually analyze what I review, and that takes time, and hey, who doesn’t mind a publicity push after the fact? I can fly through albums pretty quickly, but for films and video games, there’s more […]
