Zombie Army Trilogy – Nintendo Switch Review
Zombie Army has always been a pretty good spinoff of the Sniper Elite series, using all the same mechanics and fantastic kill cams, and switching out modern war mechanics for, well, zombies in Nazi outfits. The Sniper Elite series has always done a pretty good job of creating a sniper heavy first person shooting experience that fans really enjoy, but is moving it over to a zombie apocalypse enough to justify buying the same game with a different skin? Let's dive in!

LEGO Super Mario Available August 1st
I'll be the first to admit that what Nintendo and LEGO revealed earlier this year was not quite what I was expecting when I heard that the two entertainment giants were going to partner together on a line of sets. While the appeal isn't likely there for adults - unless they are looking to purchase for display purposes - the market for kids is huge, and based on the reactions of my 10 and 6 year olds, it's going to be a big hit in the Roffel household.

Alcatel Launches GO FLIP 3
While most of us take our smartphones for granted, there are still many people out there who have not yet made the transition from earlier generations of phones, which offer a familiar and comfortable look and feel. For these folks, the technologies offered by smartphones are unneeded and therefore only serve to get in the way. This has led to a market for an entirely different kind of phone - the 'feature flip phone' or 'smartflip' phones that blend the best of both worlds, and Alcatel's latest GO FLIP 3 promises to be the pinnacle of smartflip phones!

Turtle Beach Recon Spark
Turtle Beach certainly has been busy. It seems that every time I turn around they are releasing a new headset or other console accessory. I would say this is getting frustrating, but it seems that every new product they release offers something just a little bit different. Instead, I would argue that they might have just figured out a perfect system. Just when you might stop thinking of Turtle Beach as being at the forefront of gaming headsets they release a new one that is different enough to qualify as a unique offering, but also serves to remind you that they are very much still relevant. How does the Recon Spark hold up to this formula? Let’s take a look!

Golf Story Not Just About the Golf
The common theme I've been seeing on social media regarding Golf Story seems to follow this trend: Person 1 - Golf Story is soooo good! Person 2 - I don't like golf games. I'm here to tell you to play Golf Story anyways, because it's actually not all about the golf, and even when it is, it's just pure fun.

More Thoughts From Me #214: I Believe In Tetris 99
When I first played Tetris 99, I didn’t like it. It was multiplayer only and had no single player. Sure it was free, but thats pretty much all it had going for it. But recently I wanted a Tetris on my Switch and I knew that the game had paid DLC where you could get single player! So I decided to get the game and the DLC. What a great decision! Tetris 99 is a blast. The single player marathon…
