FreezeMe is a 3D platformer in the vain of Super Mario 64. The game comes to the Wii U eshop today. Here is a first look at FreezeMe. FreezeMe wants to be Super Mario 64. There is a huge open world, different missions to take on, platforming challenges, and other bits and pieces that will make you think of Super Mario 64. But will the game create its own identity or just live in Mario’s shadow? I received a review…

Traveler’s Tales has created a lot of Lego games for multiple consoles. The Lego game that started it all was Lego Star Wars and now Traveler’s Tales is going back to that Galaxy Far Far Away. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been announced and it will be coming in June 2016!   Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be coming to multiple systems (Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, etc) on June 28th. Game Informer will feature the…

Have you played Splatoon? If not, you’re really missing out. With Splatoon, Nintendo has created a wonderful, Wii U defining game. Here are my thoughts about Splatoon and why I love it!   Most Nintendo games are all about the single player and if there’s an online feature, its more of an afterthought or a nice addition. Splatoon, on the other hand, is totally different. The single player in Splatoon is the afterthought. The story, in my opinion, is not…

Once A Upon A Time, Capcom was making exclusive Resident Evil games for a Nintendo system.  Capcom made Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 just for the Gamecube. Then, they made Resident Evil 4. While 4 didn’t stay exclusive (it was on the PS2 also), the Gamecube version was definitely the best version between those two systems. That is until the Wii Edition came along. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is the superior experience and now its returning via the…

Mighty No. 9 is a much talked about Indie game thats coming out...sooner or later. Honestly, I don't care when its coming out. I think the game looks like a generic Mega Man game. So why am I writing about the game? Well, I have to have my say too! This is the internet!

Dying Light features the main character, Kyle Crane, who is an undercover agent sent to recover data for the GRE organization and Kyle Crane quickly realizes that something is wrong and things aren’t what they seem. He decides to help a group of survivors. Chaos then ensues, as it does in all zombie games with hordes of the walking dead roaming the streets. As we follow our group of survivors we grow with them in the story and really care about their progress making the majority of the events in Dying Light deep and impacting.

We don't have enough mindlessly fun games on console anymore. It just doesn't exist. I'm going to get this out of the way early. The story in Just Cause 3 is not very good; it could have been way better! However, it is a catalyst for what the real joy is: mayhem and mass destruction. Most consumers will get more enjoyment out of liberation efforts than actually attempting to complete story missions. Between all the explosions and challenges, there is more than enough content to offset the weak story to make people buy this game. It is totally worth it.

I went into Tomb Raider with pretty low expectations. At X15 in Toronto, I was treated to a 20 minute demo of the first tomb in the game, and I came out of it incredibly disappointed. Rise of the Tomb Raider looked like every other action adventure puzzle game I had ever played. To me, it seemed like a poor attempt to replicate the Uncharted franchise before Uncharted 4 had a chance to come out (yes I realize Tomb Raider on 360 was similar as well).

The first thing my son and I did when we received our copy of Yoshi's Woolly World from Nintendo for review was unbox the blue and pink yarn Yoshi amiibos that we purchased from Best Buy here in Canada. His impressions of the the amiibo (transcribed from audio recording):
