I’ve been hesitant to write this column. I don’t really like to write negatively in this column. But I see a lot of people hoping for this game or that game. We see rumors all the time. And with the current state of the world, I can’t help but think that will we see a lot of delayed games this year. We’ve already seen it with the movie industry. Why should the video game industry be any different? Here are…

Nintendo surprised everyone by releasing a Nintendo Direct Mini today. You can check it out below and then please come back here for some thoughts on the Direct! I thought the Nintendo Direct mini was pretty good! No major new Nintendo games were revealed but a whole bunch of third party games were. And Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition was shown off more. I like Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii and the remake for the Switch looks excellent. Its great that…

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a role-playing game that heavily incorporates a revamped version of Gwent, the card game featured in the Witcher games. Originally released in 2018 on PC and consoles, Thronebreaker has now made its way to the Nintendo Switch! While it does incorporate the card game, Thronebreaker is much more than that. Featuring a 30+ hour campaign, the game plays very much like a typical isometric RPG. How will these juxtaposed styles mash into a game, and how will they play out on the Switch? Let's take a look and find out!

When I first played Tetris 99, I didn’t like it. It was multiplayer only and had no single player. Sure it was free, but thats pretty much all it had going for it. But recently I wanted a Tetris on my Switch and I knew that the game had paid DLC where you could get single player! So I decided to get the game and the DLC. What a great decision! Tetris 99 is a blast. The single player marathon…

Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase just aired! We have the video below and some thoughts on it too. This Indie World Showcase was a lot better than then the last one in my opinion. A lot of cool looking indie games were shown this time. Which ones did I like the best? For me, the biggest standout was Summer in Mara. It looked like a cross between the Legend of Zelda and the new Animal Crossing! I absolutely want to play…

It will be 20 mintues long. This showcase will be focused on indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch. As for what will be shown, we have no hints of that.

If you’ve ever heard of Where’s Waldo? you’ll have the basic idea of what Hidden Through Time is! It isn’t just one object that you have to find in Hidden Through Time though. Each level has its own set of items to find. As you progress…

In a major departure from the rest of the franchise, Darksiders Genesis is a top-down, button-mashing action game that follows War and Strife, two of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. While the series has received much praise for its storyline, humour and simple but addictively fun gameplay – there was much uncertainty around how the new top-down style would translate to the franchise. Will this major change be a smooth transition or will it detract from an already stellar series? Let’s take a look and find out!

I’m a sucker for simulation games. I’m also a sucker for puzzle games and Adventure games. So what if one game had elements of all three? How would I feel about such a game? The Touryst for Nintendo Switch is the game I’m talking about and here are my impressions of it so far. The Touryst is a puzzle game at its heart. There are so many puzzles in this game. And yet is also has a bit of the…

Dreams, the newest game from Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet), will be out this Friday, February 14th. Check out the launch trailer below and please come back here after you watch it for some thoughts on the game. With Dreams, you can create any sort of video game you can think of. The tools Media Molecule provides with this game are very impressive. Pretty complex too. When I played the beta of Dreams, I couldn’t figure out how to make a game.…
