I take a look at the game that has an unhealthy obsession with dank and disgusting holes, Silent Hill 4: The Room. It Starts With Denial If I’m going to be perfectly honest I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the Silent Hill series. Going from illogically hating it as […]
Join me as I take a look at the wonderful and charming Clockwork Knight on the Sega Saturn for the very first time! A new backlog begins… One of my favorite things about collecting and tackling my ever growing backlog of games is finding and playing that one game you’ve […]
