Reviews In Retrospect: Metroid Prime
Longtime listeners of the old podcast might remember that Metroid Prime is my number one game of all time.

This Is Not A Review: Beat Cop
Welcome to This Is Not A Review. In these articles we discuss general impressions, ideas and thoughts on any given game, but as the title implies, it’s not a review.

The subject of this installment: Beat Cop, developed by Pixel Crow and published by 11 Bit Studios.
