Racing

Over the weekend, Sega had a 25th anniversary celebration for Sonic. The party was streamed online and Sega made two major Sonic announcements there. We have trailers for the games and my impressions of them below! Over the weekend, Sega celebrated Sonic 25th anniversary and streamed it online. You can also find more pictures of the event on Sega’s twitter account! There was some big news at the event too. Sega announced two new Sonic games! Check out the trailers…

I just watched the Microsoft press conference. There was one thing that most of the games shared: they were beautiful. The Xbox One graphics were stunning. But what about the games themselves? Welcome to the first More Thoughts From Me special edition of this E3. Here are my thoughts on Microsoft’s E3 2016! I didn’t know what to expect from Microsoft this year. I’m not an Xbox fan right now and so I haven’t been keeping up with the news…

I’m not a realistic racing game fan. You can keep Forza and the rest. For me, the best racers are the unrealistic ones like Need For Speed, Mario Kart, and my all-time favorite: Burnout! Today, I want to talk about Burnout and why I think its so cool. I don’t drive in real life. I tried to learn, but I was terrible at it. Believe me when I say that we are all much safer with me not on the…

What do you get when you mix horse racing with Solitare? The answer is, of course, Pocket Card Jockey for the 3DS. Nintendo released a demo for this unique game this week and I tried it out. What did I think of the horse card game’s demo? Read on to find out!   Pocket Card Jockey is a very strange game. When I saw the footage for it during the last Nintendo Direct, I thought that it looked awful. I…

I’ve reviewed a lot of Indie games in my short time as a reviewer so far. Some are great, some good, just ok, and some are really awful. But the Wii U needs every single Indie it can get! Why are Indies important to the Wii U? Let me tell you about it.   When the Wii U first came out, there were not a lot of games for it, but there were some third party developers supporting the system.…

One of my early entries to this column said that every video game needed a story. Now I’m back to give you the opposite position: Video Games don’t need stories! Tetris, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and many other games do not have stories. After my last article about video games needing stories, I had some people say, ” Ya, but this game doesn’t have one.” And its true. Not all video games need stories. In fact, I’ll just…

When Reggie and Activision announced at E3 2015 that Nintendo characters were coming to Skylanders, I was fairly skeptical, especially since it was also announced that these characters would also be amiibo compatible. Now that I have the figures in my hands - thanks to Activision who saved me a lot of money (more on that later) - I can say my skeptism was unfounded. While I wish the characters modeled an amiibo more than a Skylander, the final figures are still excellent little toys that are loads of fun to play with in Skylanders SuperChargers.

For the longest time, I often would determine my level of interest in a game after sixty minutes. Growing up, I rented a lot of video games, all of which had to pass the sixty minute test before I would buy it from the store. As a reviewer, I technically can't have a sixty minute barometer - I must review the entire game. However, I often still use my sixty minute rule, even if I plan to play the whole game. With the release of Disney Infinity, the the almost impossible ability to adequately review everything in one 'review,' I've decided to share my thoughts ...

Forza Motorsport has been one of the most successful gaming franchises in the last ten years. It all started with the first release in May of 2005 on the original Xbox, then several Forza Motorsport games were released on Xbox 360 and most recently Turn 10 Studios is continuing its success over the last two years on Xbox One.

I've only been playing Mad Max for a few hours, but I've already noticed a few things that both excite me and make me groan. Within the first few hours, you will know whether or not you will be spending significant time with this title or not. I think I will, although getting over a few hurdles was frustrating for a number of hours.
