Remember when Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield was in development, and the team at Game Freak announced that there wouldn’t be a National Dex? Remember when people lost their minds? Well, this latest update from Game Freak won’t fix that problem, but they are adding a ton of new material for 29.99 USD, and part of that package includes 200+ more Pokemon! Let’s take a look! Fans of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will be able to travel to an…

Because of a rough launch, and a minimal number of available games, the launch of Google Stadia has been anything but good. Issues with games not loading, issues with graphic quality during streams, games quitting suddenly – it wasn’t pretty. Add to that the seemingly underwhelming selection of games, and the high entry price point (unless joining via a Buddy Pass), and you have a pretty rough launch. And that is unfortunate, because almost two months later, ...

Although the latest Assassin’s Creed titles on Nintendo Switch are pretty old, Ubisoft should be heralded for bringing their older library to a console franchise that has only seen one title. Thanks to our friends at Ubisoft Canada, we were able to take a look at the Assassin’s Creed Rebel Collection, which includes Black Flag and Rogue! This is not going to be a traditional review of these two great games. If you want to read about them, we do…

The uprising of the Twitch / YouTube streamer has taken the video game world by storm, and a few specific streamers have risen to the top and dominate the industry. While at GamesReviews we are partial to our good friend Abdallah Smash – with whom we’ve done a ton of work with in 2019 – he’s not the biggest nor most popular on the planet. Leave that to the likes of Ninja, Tim the Tatman, and more! Thanks to our…

The Farming Simulator genre has been around for a long while, and it should be noted right off the top – not everybody is going to enjoy farming simulation games. If you don’t have an appreciation for farming, or have an affinity for these types of games, you likely aren’t going to instantly love this. If you do love these things, Farming Simulator 20 is a good (not great) title on the Nintendo Switch. Whether plowing, cultivating, planting, fertilizing, or…

Few games this generation have been as ambitious and disappointing as Death Stranding. The title had a ton of hype, as it was being developed by Hideo Kojima, and was starring the Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus. Just on those two points, and knowing there would be an epic world to explore, I was hooked from the day it was announced. Sadly – in my opinion at least – Death Stranding became enamored with itself, cloaking much of the games development…

Workout games have always been hit or miss, but somehow Nintendo is always at the top when it comes to making something exhausting, fun. Whether it was the original Wii Fit, or their latest boxing game, Nintendo has a knack for creating fun, yet demanding, fitness games that are appropriate for the entire family. Ring Fit Adventure is the most ambitious project yet from the video game giant, but also the safest in my opinion. Who doesn’t love an action…

As huge Disney fans, my family has been collecting Disney Tsum Tsum figures for years, both the hard plastic variety and the plush toys. Finding those rare Tsum Tsums at Walt Disney World, or aboard Disney Cruise Line, is always a fun experience, and growing our collection has always been a family affair. When it was announced that Bandai Namco was working with Disney to release a party game around the loveable collectables, I was on board right away. For…

What do you get when you mix Just Dance and a fitness game? Zumba, that’s what, and while this video game didn’t create the dancing working out craze, it definitely has taken it to a wider audience. Over the past decade or so, Zumba has become increasingly more popular at fitness studios around the world, and has even had a few successes on console. While few and far between, the games have slowly gotten better over the years. So does…
