Bro Bromero’s Top 10 Games of the Year 2025
Just like that, the year has wrapped up and this blog has been irregularly chugging away for about 6 months now. I’ve spent the holiday with friends and family, and talked about some of my favorite experiences of the year with them. We’ll see if I have top lists for other forms of media, but…

Dispatch – Between Games and Television
Ack, a whole month without posting! It’s the busy season for my wife’s business, so blogging took a backseat. I’ve been flitting around from experience to experience, but I’m happy to report that I played through the entirety of Dispatch, so let’s dust off this website and dive right into it. Dispatch comes from AdHoc…

Q-UP – Call It, Friend-O
Every December, I try to reflect on my favorite experiences of the year and give them little write-ups to share with my friends. This is my first year with this blog, so I’m hoping to migrate those writings here so I am not impeded by the Discord text limit. As we approach the middle of…

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line – 1,2,3, Curaga!
It is hard to determine whether or not Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is a niche game or not. Rhythm games are not usually in the big spotlight anymore, and this game asks that you have some passing familiarity and fondness of the music of the Final Fantasy series. Beyond that, it also asks that you…

Neverland Card Battles – I See a Red Board and I Want to Paint it Blue
My furnace motor has died, so I’m writing this in a 90 degree house right now. It is absolutely dreadful. What isn’t dreadful is today’s throwback entry to a PSP game that never got much of the spotlight: Neverland Card Battles. This was an early PSP game, releasing in the tail end of 2008, and…

Lanterns – Getting everybody to the table
Whoops! I missed a week. It was a hectic week, but I’m happy to be writing again. I recently had a big board gaming weekend, but got too absorbed into the games to get photos and take notes. Whoopsie! When Ana and I got home, we decided to cap off the weekend with one last…

Skullgirls Mobile – When the Gacha is Good
Gacha games make oodles of cash. It’s a model that can get folks hooked on digital lottery tickets, only instead of paying out, the companies give you access to game content. More so than that, they’re habit forming: The developers want you checking in daily, because the more involved with the game you are, the…

McDonald’s Treasure Land Adventure – I’m Likin’ It
I hadn’t engaged with any new media of note this week, so I took to rolling the dice to see what to write about. I knew I was in the mood for a Genesis game to hear some of those groovy bass lines. Beyond that, I let the randomizer take the wheel. And it drove…

Super Mega Lucky Box- Bingo with mechanics? Bingo!
In previous entries, I’ve talked about how much I like two player games at home, but that doesn’t mean the only games we get to the table are exclusively designed as two players games. We can find satisfying games even when they’re designed for larger groups. Today I want to talk about a light filler…

Compile: Main 1-Flippin’ Good Time
I’m always looking for sharp two player experiences. While my board game collection is sizeable, I live quite far from my core group of friends now, so many of my board game nights nowadays are just me and my wife. This means a lot of my favorite games are tailor made for two. That being…
