We’re in the dead of winter and it’s a great time to cozy up and play some games. So we have some game reviews for you all! Joelle bops along to Spirit Swap: Lo-fi Beats to Match-3 To, a cozy game that matches (pun intended) an interactive novel with a match-3 game. Cat wields a sword and board and her godlike powers in Avowed, the long awaited high fantasy RPG. Plus, the girls take on some real deal jeopardy video game questions.
