When LEGO and Nintendo first announced the LEGO Super Mario line-up of building block sets, I was incredibly skeptical. Instead of traditional LEGO minifigure sized sets, LEGO opted to created more interactive experience with large, chunky character and figures to play with. And from early reviews across the board - from brick review companies to video game review companies - reviews of the toys have been surprisingly good, pushing me to buy up any stock I can! There is one problem though - I cannot find local stock.

In Animal Crossing New Leaf, there was a place called the Dream Mansion (aka Dream Suite) where players could go to visit other  towns via the internet. The catch was that it was in a “dream” and so anything you did in the other player’s town didn’t count. Also the other player wasn’t really there. You were just getting to check out a copy of their town. The Dream Mansion was added to New Horizons in the latest update. Well,…

I was going to write about Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2 but this year and the larger issues with a splash of video game thoughts. I think we all lose sight of the big picture sometimes, then life hits us on the head and reminds us. This could perhaps be my last column or perhaps not. My future is uncertain at the moment. My life is a mess. I won’t go into details but things have gone downhill for…

Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack includes two side-scrolling action games (Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 & 2) that appear comparable to the Mega Man platformer series.

We'll take a look at how these games stack up and give you our best advice - take a read and let's see how Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack measures up!

Nintendo has announced the second summer update for Animal Crossing New Horizons today. Please check out the video below and then come back here for some thoughts on it. The second summer update for Animal Crossing New Horizons is pretty exciting! First of all, the Sunday Fireworks events from previous games are being added in next month. I like that Redd will again have a booth where you can buy stuff. You can also has custom design fireworks like previous…

Late in June 2020, we had the privileged of reviewing a quality budget microphone from Tonor, which we spoke very highly of. When that was sent to us, the company also included a microphone boom arm for us to look at. Although not compatible with the microphone we reviewed, it is a great arm that will work with most mics you might pick up at retail. Let's take a look!

Paper Mario: The Origami King is the latest entry in the long running RPG series. It is also the first of its kind to come to the Nintendo Switch. Is Paper Mario The Origami King a fun game or is it as paper thin as its hero? Time to find out once and for all. Welcome to our review of Paper Mario: The Origami King!

What do you get when you create a game with one part Mega Man, one part Castlevania, and one part Shovel Knight? You might get Panzar Paladin for the Nintendo Switch. But does Panzar Paladin live up to those games or should you hop into your mech and download a different game?

Donkey Kong Country is on the Nintendo Switch Online Service now (via the SNES app) and so I thought it was finally time to talk about the game. What’s it like playing DKC again? What’s my best memory of the game? When I was much younger, during the SNES era, I was a huge fan of Donkey Kong Country. The first game in the series. I never did play the second or third one back then (still haven’t played the…
