King Me! – Review

Although we’ve never been huge fans of checkers, there was something instantly appealing about King Me! from Ravensburger. I believe it was the extra elements introduced into the game that made the standard game of checkers much more enjoyable, and even more intriguing! After all, who doesn’t want to control regions, and be crowned King? Let’s dive into King Me!, thanks to our friends at Ravensburger. If you haven’t read our How to Play article on King Me!, ...

LEGO Hidden Side – Graveyard Mystery Review

The inclusion of app support for LEGO sets goes back a long way, but somehow The LEGO Group gets better and better at integrating their sets into fun (and often times educational) mobile apps for kids. Thanks to our good friends at LEGO, we had the opportunity to review the Hidden Side – Graveyard Mystery set. Let’s take a look at the build and our thoughts on the final product! Set Number: 70420 Number of Pieces: 335 Price: 39.99 CAD…

LEGO Jurassic World Review

LEGO Jurassic World combines everything I liked about LEGO video games and largely removes the only thing I really hated: the combat. With the focus on combat gone, Travelers Tales has given more time to environmental destruction, helpful hints for those young LEGO fans, and more puzzles to complete. Oh yes, and dinosaurs. The games and levels mimic the movies they are trying to recreate very closely, but of course, they add their own unique LEGO humor. Ever ...

Ori and the Blind Forest Finds a Magnificent Home on Nintendo Switch

Back in 2015, Microsoft shocked us all by believing in Moon Studios and brining Ori and the Blind Forest to Nintendo Switch. We reviewed it entirely then (you can read that here) and absolutely loved it. Let’s examine a few of the high spots! Games rarely carry a solid story throughout the playing experience. Either the beginning is weak or the end is weak. Ori doesn’t suffer from this. Within five minutes, players will inevitably have a strong attachment to…

Konami eFootball PES 2020

While the title might be unnecessarily large and cumbersome, Konami wants to make sure players know what they are striving for with their latest football title – while this is an extension of the PES franchise, and has all the previous modes and options of other Pro Evolution Soccer experiences, the focus this time around is on online play. But does PES 2020 deliver on this? Let’s take a dive into eFootball PES 2020 and find out! The moment you…

Divinity Original Sin II Review

Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of the better top-down RPG experiences I’ve ever played, but unless you have a desire to log over a 100 hours into it, you might want to skip this one. If you want fantastic value for your money, Divinity Original Sin 2 is what you want to invest in! Like with the first game, the second mold the characters through the quests – more depth is worked into the everyday questing than is done…

NHL 20 Review

While many criticize EA Sports for releasing similar games year after year, it was the small quality of life improvements and additions to fantastic modes like CHEL brought into NHL 20 that made me realize that upgrading from 19 to 20 was a must. While things aren’t perfect, and there is definitely room for growth, NHL 20 is a must own for hockey fans of all ages. The ‘regular’ modes you’ve come to love in EA Sports titles are slowly…

With Super Smash Bros Ultimate launching in a few weeks, Performance Design Products (PDP) is set to launch their Wired Fight Pad Pro Controllers in just a few days, so gamers can prep for the release of the game on December 7th. While the marketing around these controllers has focused on Smash Bros - because who doesn't want to play Smash Bros with a GameCube inspired controller! - it's easy to forget that these controllers can be used for other games too!

GreedFall Review

When large scale RPGs launch from our favorite developers, we all have a sense of what to expect, in terms of how the story might unfold, what kind of bugs we might encounter, and so on. When you load into games like Skyrim, for example, most people have an acceptable level of ‘jank’ that they come to expect from a massive open world experience. It blows my mind how we allow larger AAA titles to get away with these things,…
