Nintendo announced a Smash Bros Direct and a Treehouse Live for this Thursday. We have more details below and my thoughts on the two events. The Super Smash Bros Ultimate Direct will air on Thursday (11/1) at 10 a.m. ET and be 40 minutes long. After its over, a Treehouse Live will air and feature Smash Bros, Pokemon Lets Go!, Yoshi’s Crafted World, and Diablo 3. I can’t say I’m excited about a 40 minute long Direct just for Smash…

Despite the small screen size and clutter user interface, playing Civilization 6 on the iPhone was still a fantastic experience, which is forcing me to backtrack comments I made via twitter about the game. We all know how fantastic the Civilization franchise is, and it's been a staple on the PC for over a decade. Now with the franchise available on iPhone and iPad, consoles, and the PC, there literally is no excuse for anyone to not give the game a try.

Thanks to our good friends at The LEGO Group, we had the opportunity to build and review LEGO set #60194, the Arctic Scout Truck. At roughly 59.99 USD, this set doesn't meet our 10 cents / piece threshold that deems a LEGO set a good value, but offers up enough unique pieces that make it a worthwhile purchase anyway. Let's dive in and see how this set goes together!

One thing that every gaming enthusiast will highly appreciate is an affordable or discounted game or software offer. Most PC gamers, for instance, are always scouting for where they can get discounted offers on games. But, what if I tell you that there are platforms (or places) that allow you to purchase games and Windows Operating systems at discounted rates? Well, one of these places is Kinguin. Kinguin is an online site where people can sell, buy, and trade video…

Gaming has always been ripe for exploration when it comes to other forms of media. From the amazing Riddick games from Starbreeze to the critically and commercially panned Superman 64 from now-defunct studio Titus Interactive, adaptions here have run the gambit of both time and quality. In the modern age, however, we are noticing a definite trend of reality television shows increasingly being adapted into mobile games. So why is this happening, and is this a trend we expect to…

Capcom has already bought the two Resident Evil Revelations games to the Nintendo Switch and Resident Evil 7 Cloud Edition in Japan. They’re not done yet! Capcom announced today that they’ll be bringing three more Resident Evil games to the Switch in 2019. On their official twitter today, Capcom said, “Capcom is bringing multiple fan favorites to Nintendo Switch! Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4 will each be launching on Nintendo Switch in 2019! We’ll have more…

Syberia 3 is an adventure game in the vain of King’s Quest or more recently, Thimbleweed, but without the humor and a ton more puzzles to solve. The game recently came to the Nintendo Switch and I received a review code for it. Is Syberia 3 a good game or should you skip this adventure? Before you start Syberia 3, make sure you watch ‘the previously on Syberia’ video. Syberia 3 does not introduce Kate Walker and throws you right…

I have heard of Sid Meier’s Civilization but I’ve never played one of the games. I assumed it was a lot like Sim City. I was kind of right and kind of wrong. Here’s a video showing off Sid Meier’s Civilization VI for the Nintendo Switch! I have some thoughts on it after the video. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is like a combination of a turn-based strategy game with Sim City. The goal is to build up your Civilization better…

Team Sonic Racing was expected soon (December), but we found out today via the official Sonic Twitter that the game has been delayed till May 21, 2019. Take a look at the tweet below and then come back for my thoughts on this delay. I’m not sure what to think of this delay. We all know Team Sonic Racing (probably) isn’t going to be as good as Mario Kart, but perhaps this delay will make it a better title than…

A few weeks ago, our good friends at Google Canada sent over the Google Pixel 3 for us to review, and we've been doing so over the last number of weeks. The biggest changes to the device come within the camera options, which we dive into deeper here. Ultimately, we found the Google Pixel 3 XL to be a brilliant phone with a few potentially problematic issues, so let's dive in and see if this phone will be right for you!
