Cartoon games have been given a rough ride as of late. The media seems to paint the picture of games as the villain. They have been blamed for exposing children to violence. But this is a very one-sided image. To completely blame cartoon games for showcasing violence would be vastly unfair. In fact, some people would go as far as to say that games are not responsible for this at all. And, if you delve a little bit deeper then you may find that you agree with this.
I've been trying to come up with a decent Stardew Valley pun involving graves, cemeteries, corpses, anything, and it's not really working. Stardew Cemetery. Stardew Body. Charneldew Valley. Stardew RIP. All rubbish.
I hadn’t heard of The Church in the Darkness before receiving it for review but the trailer, voice cast (Ellen McLain - GLaDOS of Portal fame and her real-life husband John Patrick Lowrie) as well as the premise of secretly making your way through a cult to rescue your nephew) really grabbed me.

Pawarumi on Nintendo Switch tasks you with choosing your shooting tactics wisely to either deal out double damage to your enemies, regenerate your protective shields or to recharge your Super Attack! Pawarumi immediately offers you three different weapons and one super attack out of the gate. Weapons are colour coded and depending on the colour of the enemy you hit with the coloured weapon will depend on the positive effect you will have on your damage, shields or super attack.

Super Mutant Alien Assault puts you in the shoes of a lowly security droid (or two, in the case of the local co-op mode) that has to clear out waves of enemies in a series of 2D rooms whilst completing basic tasks such as carrying canisters from one machine to another or cooling generators that slowly overheat, all the while picking up a selection of random guns and grenades to help you destroy the ever-appearing alien menace.
Super Skidmarks from 1995 was developed by Codemasters and has the Codemasters fingerprints all over it. For me, it's like a tougher Micro Machines with a Rally flavour running through it and boy is it tough.
Watch me struggle and whine through a Championship round of tough knocks and Super Skids!

If you haven't played SteamWorld Dig "A Fistful Of Dirt" before then now is the time to buy it on Switch as it's currently dirt cheap (geddit?) I'd heard so many good things about this 2018 Switch release (originally released in 2013 for 3DS and PC) and it had sat on my 'to buy' list for many months before I eventually snapped it up on Switch for a few quid in the special offers section. Oh, man am I glad I finally got to experience this game!
