In a case of better late than never, both Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and its sequel, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, are now both available to download on the PlayStation 4 – they’ll also work just fine on the PlayStation 5 too. During the summer of last year, trophies for both games were leaked online signaling…
Nintendo just put off their first Direct in quite some time, and snuggled in nicely among announcements regarding big properties like Zelda, Splatoon and Animal Crossing was a cute and unexpected super heroine game. Based on the animated series which has crossed over into toys and other media, DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power allows…
DEVELOPER: PlayMagic PUBLISHER: Microids REVIEWED ON: PlayStation 4 (Slim) from a copy purchased by the author.

Over the past two and half weeks or so, I’ve been posting a story a day from a series of short anecdotes I crafted last fall. For those who have been keeping up with my posts, I wish to say thank you and I hope you enjoyed my indulgent trip down memory lane. In case…
