With the last two installments of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Ubisoft has reworked the games entire formula while trying to stay true to what made the original so fantastic - stealthy mechanics, outstanding kills, and more. While Origins and Odyssey were surprisingly similar - small welcome changes did come when we headed to ancient Greece - it appears as if Ubisoft is taking a big leap forward with Valhalla, and I couldn't be more excited.

Remakes on the Nintendo Switch have become incredibly popular, and the team at Marvelous (Europe and Australia) and XSeed (North America) have worked with the development team to bring this remastered classic to the west. Friends of Mineral Town was LOVED by fans when it was originally released back on the GameBoy Advanced, as it hearkens back to the hay-days of when Harvest Moon was a solid franchise. With a new name, the game is looking for a second lease on ...

TCL is making a name for themselves in the display manufacturing space, a area once dominated by Samsung. Over the years, TCL displays have become better and better, and TCL TVs becoming more popular and a go-to choice for many consumers. With the launch of the TCL 10 Pro and TCL 10 L smartphones, the company is officially placing it's label on the mobile marketplace, and with some stunning results. Here are my early impressions of the TCL 10 Pro after about a ...

There really isn't a point to sugar coating it. Prior to the introduction of Xbox Game Pass - a brilliant business decision that puts fans first - Microsoft was floundering with the Xbox One family in the console space. Big franchises seemed to die on the platform, most notably Fable, and the console just never picked up steam to compete with the PlayStation 4. And all of these critiques comes from a guy who played the majority of games this generation on the ...

The summer update to Animal Crossing: New Horizons came at just the right time for myself. To date, without time traveling of course, I had collected all the fish, found all the bugs, and purchased a new piece of artwork from Redd every time he was at my island. I had played, replayed, and then played again the fishing and bug tournaments, all in hopes of getting 300 points and that gold trophy. I had breeded and obtained every flower in the game (outside that ...

When Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town drops at retail next week, people are going to likely have a bit of sticker shock when they see the price. Is that right? Am I almost paying full price for a remake of an old GameBoy Advance title? The answer is yes, but the development team hopes the improvements they've made will be enticing enough and worthy enough of the price tag. One area that has obviously been drastically improved is the graphics!

Thanks to our friends over at Tonor, we had the opportunity to look at the TC-777 USB Microphone, a budget USB mic that can currently be purchased from Tonor directly for under $50, and is a great microphone for anyone starting out in the recording space, whether that be some audio for a music track, or perhaps more appropriately, for a podcast.

The Elder Scrolls Online isn't a game I play constantly, but it's one that draws me back in with each new DLC launch, and the latest expansion, Greymoor, is no different. I'm back in ESO full time for right now, checking out new locations, new quests, new mounts, and so much more. But is Greymoor worth your money, and worth another trip deep into the world of The Elder Scrolls? Let's find out!

A hallmark of Story of Season titles is having the ability to upgrade your tools. Upgraded tools across most farming simulation games allow you to not only tackle larger and more difficult tasks, but also consume less energy, giving your more stamina points to work with each and every day. Maximizing stamina is key in maximizing profits, as well as giving you more time to spend doing other things around Mineral Town, like wooing a lucky guy or gal!

If you’ve played Story of Seasons in the past, you know that upgrading your farm and home is one of the key ways you’ll see ‘progression’ in the game. Thankfully, we have all the details on how to get that process started!
