Dbrand Killswitch Skin with the JSAUX ModCase: Yes, It Works Looking to pick up a Dbrand Killswitch skin but not entirely convinced it'll work with your JSAUX ModCase?

TMNT: Splintered Fate Made Me Realise I Hate Roguelites Splintered Fate, like most roguelites, gatekeeps your enjoyment through a grind for meta-currency. This essentially forces you to stink at the game until you're good enough to have fun. For a busy Dad, that's an awfully hard sell for the entire genre.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2: My First Preorder in Nearly Two Decades I haven't preordered a game since 2007. Metal Gear Solid 4 has been locked to the PlayStation 3 since 2008. Somehow, it took until 2026 for both of those things to change.

JSAUX 5-in-1 Docking Station Review After my UGreen dock called it quits, I wanted to keep things simple for the replacement. Dock shaped, HDMI, passthrough charging and under $50 AUD. The JSAUX 5-in-1 Docking Station ticks every box without breaking a sweat.

Devastation Review: The 2003 FPS You’ve Never Played Devastation has some solid ideas and just enough variety to keep you pushing forward. But it’s held back by jank, poor AI and a lack of polish. This mildly interesting shooter ultimately ends up feeling pretty average.

Fallout: Nevada – A Total Conversion Mod Review Fallout: Nevada is a total conversion mod for Fallout 2. It brings a fresh story, new mechanics and feels like a legitimate slice of classic Fallout. It's not always friendly and won't hold your hand, but that's kind of the point. It might be tough, but it rewards forward planning and offers a seriously good take on a familiar format.

realMyst: A Dusty Game Society Review Myst is the January pick for the Dusty Game Society and after finally playing it, it definitely holds up. It may be slower and a bit more demanding of the player than modern games, but the payoff for your patience and curiosity makes it well worth your time.

Finally gave Myst the time it deserves and it honestly still works. No quest markers, no hand holding. Just exploration, puzzles and a healthy dose of suspicion.

Killer Frequency Killer Frequency is an odd combination. It blends late night radio, meaningful dialogue choices and classic slasher flick tension into a focused interactive story that just feels made for late night sessions with the lights off and headphones on.

Revisiting Sierra’s King’s Quest Series: Part 5 – Absence Makes the Heart go Yonder King's Quest V is a nostalgic mix of both Sierra's ambition and cruelty. Remembered for its presentation, infamous puzzles, constant and ever frustrating deaths and a harsh reminder to save early, save often.

King's Quest V is peak Sierra. Ambitious, cruel, packed with endless deaths and infamous puzzles but it's presented beautifully and offers a harsh lesson in 'save early, save often.'

Boomer Shooter December: Duke Nukem 3D Review Duke Nukem 3D is crude, it's dated and makes no apologies for what it is. Beneath the surface attitude is a rock-solid boomer shooter built on solid level design, iconic weapons and relentless momentum.

Duke Nukem 3D closes out Boomer Shooter December. It's crude, dated, controversial and it built some of the strongest first-person shooter fundamentals of the '90s. Hail to the king, baby.

Boomer Shooter December Misses and Misfires: Doom 64 (Nightdive Studios) Doom 64 trades out Doom’s trademark speed and soundtrack for slower pacing, tedious switch hunting and a moody ambience. This results in a darker experience that never quite feels fun.

Doom 64 goes slower, darker and moodier. In doing this, it ditches the core experience that makes Doom great. We're left with sluggish movement, tedious switch hunting with ambient noise and no soundtrack.

Boomer Shooter December Misses and Misfires: Aliens Versus Predator (1999) I remember Aliens Versus Predator as a deadset classic. Revisiting it in 2025 revealed bland campaigns, jump-scares which show their age and an Alien campaign that mostly just made me nauseous.
