Open world games are likely the hardest games to produce, even for the largest development teams. Because of time constraints and budgets, something is always going to get caught or downgraded to finish on time, and at least somewhere near the targeted budget. Skyrim, for example, was a fantastic experience, but suffered from lack of details in specific areas. When Bethesda announced – or more appropriately, Walmart Canada announced – Rage 2, I was wondering if ...

While Elite Trainer Boxes for the Pokémon Trading Card Game come in a bit pricier than your average Pokémon product, the benefits of these boxes are top notch, especially if you haven’t owned one in the past. From premium damage counters - dice - to hard plastic status counters, investing in at least one Elite Trainer Box is a no brainer.

World War Z, a fast paced multiplayer zombie shooter, has done really well within the first month of launch, selling nearly 2 million units. The game, inspired by the movie of the same name, has received generally positive reviews, and is quickly becoming a favourite among online multiplayer fans! Our reviewer liked it as well, giving the game a 8.0/10! Here is a bit of what he had to say,

If you've been playing board games for a significant period of time, the game Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig might sound familiar, even if you have never played before. That's because this 2-7 player game is a mashup of Between Two Cities and Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Elements from both games have been combined to create something entirely new, although incredibly familiar. But will two good games in their own right make one epic game? Let's dive in ...

As a huge fan of the original Mario Maker title on Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, I was incredibly excited when Nintendo announced that Mario Maker 2 would be heading to the Nintendo Switch this June. Despite my excitement, however, I also had a few questions I needed answering, most notably, "How much more can they really add to this experience?" Yesterday's Nintendo Direct answered that 10 times over, and then some! Let's dive in!

It's been a pretty rough early go in 2018, but thankfully a handful of great games has made each day enjoyable. One of those titles is My Time At Portia, a story driven crafting game that has plenty of charm and will keep you playing for hours. Developed by Chinese developer Pathera Games, and being published by the notorious Team 17 - of Worms fame - this game has just recently hit Steam Early Access, and thanks to the good people over at Team 17, we had the ...

Pokemon Detective Pikachu has been a big box office hit already, and like any good cinematic experience, the spinoff revenue has the potential of going through the roof. It's much easier with this Pokemon movie because of all the Pokemon merchandise that already exists. Now all that needs to be done is adding the Detective Pikachu elements, and sending them to retail!

Thanks to our good friends at Bethesda, we have been playing through Skyrim VR on the PlayStation VR for the past few weeks. We wrote about it at length already, but are now asking a bigger question: should more open world games like Skyrim get the VR treatment?

The LEGO Group has launched the second Disney Minifigure Collection, and the characters available this time around are fantastic! Whether you like the new Duck Tales cartoon, or have an affinity for Steamboat Willie, there will be something for you to enjoy. From Jafar to Hurcules, which characters are your most excited about?

We at GamesReviews.com have reviewed Skyrim on multiple platforms, over many years. As such, this review of Skyrim VR won’t talk about the story or quest structures, but rather how the entire game ports over to the PlayStation VR. So does it work well? The short answer is “no, but yes.” What’s the long answer? Let’s take a look.
