GeekMom: Video Games During COVID-19: It’s a Family Thing

December 9, 2021GeekMom

The next time someone judges you or your kids for playing video games, don’t stress. Over the last year or two, most of us have upped the game time and this applies to our kids too. But this is not always a bad thing. In fact, video games are one of the easiest targets for […]

GeekMom: Seven Things I Love About the Newest ‘Animal Crossing’ Additions

November 14, 2021GeekMom

Last week, a day earlier than anticipated, Nintendo dropped the biggest addition to Animal Crossing: New Horizons since its initial release, a huge update followed by the Happy Home Paradise DLC (check out this more detailed write-up from GeekDad Z about that). I had taken a longer-than-I-had-originally-anticipated hiatus from Animal Crossing, but the new stuff […]

GeekMom: PAX Aust 2021: Online One More Time

November 3, 2021GeekMom

For the second year in a row, PAX Australia moved to the digital space. And while I am ever grateful for the virtual networking with my fellow gamers, I truly miss the “vibe” of PAX Aust in real life. I miss hearing the enthusiasm of people playing video games in the Indie Showcase. I miss […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Death’s Door’

October 31, 2021GeekMom

I have a soft spot for crows. They are highly intelligent birds marred by the same brush to paint black cats and ravens. But give them a task and they will complete it with the utmost loyalty and determination. I already have a few favorite gaming crows to add to my list, thanks to Pumpkin […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Undying’

October 30, 2021GeekMom

I’m gonna be straight with you. Today’s game is going to mess you up. Big time. There’s no coming back from it. Sure, there are zombies and life/death scenarios, so it fits perfectly in our Halloween theme. However, it also preys on one of the most fundamental fears of every parent: preparing our kids, even […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Inscryption’

October 29, 2021GeekMom

October 28, 2021GeekMom

Four more days until Halloween and you now have a strong list of games to keep yourself entertained while the kids are trick-or-treating. Time to break out the 2D brawler and smash your through a different kind of monster. Young Souls brings some fresh meat to the party, offering up a modern art style with […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Little Nightmares II’

October 27, 2021GeekMom

Video games, especially Halloween Games, are as much built on music and atmosphere as they are storytelling and gameplay. I am a huge fan of great supporting soundtracks because it is not an easy job to create the music to match something as dynamic as a video game. But then you come across a game […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘If On a Winter’s Night Four Travelers’

October 26, 2021GeekMom

We are in the final week of our Halloween Game reviews and what a ride it has been! Such a wide range of genres, design, and storytelling. Each one pulls away the veil to show us a little of what Halloween and video games mean to them. It has been a journey, an adventure. And […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Skul: The Hero Slayer’

October 25, 2021GeekMom

We’re pretty close to Halloween, and I have to admit, all of these games have given me a bit of an appetite for playing the bad guys. But what if the bad guys aren’t really the bad guys? What if… now, stay with me… What if the humans really are a bunch of jerks? Especially […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Ikai’

October 24, 2021GeekMom

Okay, folks. This one is absolutely totally unequivocally NOT suitable for kids. I’m not even sure it was suitable for me. But it is the most terrifying game I have ever played. Ikai is right up there with the best of the best psychological horror games. It will have your adrenalin racing and then expect […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Potion Craft’

October 23, 2021GeekMom

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Echo Generation’

October 22, 2021GeekMom

One of my fave Halloween movie scenes as a kid was from E.T. when Elliot and the gang take E.T. trick-or-treating. For an Australian kid in the 1980s, it seemed so quintessentially American and Halloween all wrapped up together. It’s probably why I love The Goonies and Stranger Things too. Just a bunch of kids […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Eastern Market Murder’

October 21, 2021GeekMom

Halloween is often filled with ghost stories, scary tales, murder, and mystery. What if we had a game for you based on a spine-tingling true crime? It would definitely add a shiver for Day 20 of our Halloween Game Reviews. Welcome to Melbourne, circa 1899, and the real-life crime behind Eastern Market Murder. What is […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo’

October 20, 2021GeekMom

I love any game which embraces culture and displays it with pride and admiration. Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a brand new game inspired by the famous Dia de los Muertos. It is filled with color and celebration and, most importantly, deep-founded respect to help the dead move on. Kulebra starts the October […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Ghost on the Shore’

October 19, 2021GeekMom

Ghosts are a key feature of Halloween. The whole basis of Halloween is the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead, a time to celebrate and honor the dead–or help them resolve their issues to ensure they can move on to the afterlife. How they resolve their issues depends on the ghost […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Webbed’

October 18, 2021GeekMom

Yesterday’s game review in our Halloween series was pretty intense. Let’s lighten the mood with some fun Halloween characters, like the humble Peacock Spider. Now, I know there is a risk of some readers giving me a big “NOPE” for a game based solely on SPIDERS. But stick with me—Peacock Spiders are adorable, harmless, and […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Hades’

October 17, 2021GeekMom

We’ve hit Day 16 of our Halloween Game Reviews and I realized GeekMom/GeekDad has never reviewed Hades?!? How can we have missed one of the biggest video games of 2020? Well, the good news is it also fits with our Halloween theme so now would be a good time to take a graceful swan dive […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Wytchwood’

October 16, 2021GeekMom

It’s like a page straight out of Grimm’s Fairytales. Wytchwood is a new crafting adventure game oozing with gothic vibes and whimsical storytelling. Of course, you had me with the cantankerous goat. Just give me the game, a high-back winged chair, and a cozy spot by the fireplace, and I will be set for Day […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Minecraft’

October 15, 2021GeekMom

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Beacon Pines’

October 14, 2021GeekMom

Let me be clear: This is not Wind in the Willows or similar forest-dwelling cuteness. Yes, the animal characters are very cute but this game has a dark(-ish) side. Okay, so it’s more like a dullish gray. With hints of Halloween yellows thrown in. Fine, it’s still cute but Beacon Pines also has a creepy […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Dap’

October 13, 2021GeekMom

There are scary games to make you jump. There are horror games to make you run. And then there are those games that are so damn creepy, the hair on your skin will raise up and shiver in the slightest of breezes. Dap is THAT kind of game. There is nothing truly horrifying about it […]

GeekMom: 31 Days of Halloween Games: ‘Neko Ghost, Jump!’
