A number of years ago, it was looking like couch co-op was about to be a thing of the past, but specific companies continue to release titles that plopped two friends on the couch, side by side, playing games, like in the 'old' days! Nintendo has always been a bastion for local cooperative play, and other companies with great party titles are following suite. Here are a few of our favorite party titles this year, and ones we think you might want to invest time into!

The Nintendo has released a lot of big games this year for the Nintendo Switch. If you are not too familiar with the Switch or if your head is just spinning from all the games, Nintendo Australia has you covered with a new holiday showcase video. The video does not cover all the games released for the Switch this year -what video could!-but it shows off the big ones that Nintendo released. All of these games are great but my…

Snipperclips is easily one of my favorite, budget titles to release on Nintendo Switch to date. The idea of playing with someone else - although much less fun, can also be done solo - to cut each other into shapes to solve puzzles is fantastic, and the only problem with the original release was that there just wasn't enough of it. My wife and I blew through the initial worlds offered in the game, and while the multiplayer modes were fun, they didn't quite hit the highs that the campaign did. When Nintendo of Canada reached out and offered us an opportunity to ...

When onboard any of Disney Cruise Line's ships there is one thing you can be guaranteed: a wonderful evening in a interactive dinning room called Animators Palate. Animator's is themed around Disney and Pixar animation, and no matter which ship you are on, you are in for a fantastic experience; available in restaurant activities are ship specific, and itinerary length specific. Regardless, no matter which Animator's Palate you eat at - Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder, or Disney Magic - you are in for a very magical experience.

I am nowhere near the end of the game but I wanted to share with you all my first impressions of Lego Marvel 2! How good is this game? Warning: some character spoilers ahead!

The best part about reviewing a game later than other outlets is too see what the chatter is around a specific title, and being able to feed off of that. In general, the majority of outlets are on the same page when it comes to titles, the things they do well, and the things they do poorly. After spending a significant amount of time with the title on Xbox One X, I jumped online to see what the reaction was within the media circle. I was shocked. I was seeing scores of 5 and 6 out of 10, and was flabbergasted on how that was possible. So, I returned to Super ...

Zoo Tycoon was a release title when the Xbox One first launched, and people were really excited to get the beloved PC Tycoon title on their consoles and big screens. Unfortunately, a number of major issues held that original title back, like huge limits on how much people could put in their parks, extremely long load times, and a myriad of technical issues and graphical hiccups. It was a fun, but majorly flawed experience. With the Xbox One X, Microsoft is taking another stab at Zoo Tycoon with the Ultimate Animal Collection. Does the extra power and speed in ...

Having kids in the house for the majority of the day means our Xbox One X coverage has to be pretty selective when they are around. Yesterday, the focus was on Disneyland Adventures enhanced in 4K on the Xbox One X; today, we are looking at another Disney property, Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure. While both games are similar in their scope and audience, they do enough things differently, and have enough variety in franchises, to make them feel distinctly different. With both enhanced in 4K, they are both a no-brainer purchase for that young Disney fan in the ...
