Authentic racing games with a tinge of arcadeness are definitely hard to find, but in reality, they are the most fun to play. Depending on how you set the difficulty, it is a game that can appeal to realistic racers and arcadey racers alike. While Dirt Rally tends to lean a bit more towards the authentic experience, it is still a fun game regardless of your skill level. Those unwilling to get in depth probably won’t find something they like…

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.…

I’ve never played a Story of Seasons game before. I have played several of the Harvest Moons and one of the Rune Factory games though. So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started up Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale for the 3DS. Would it be like Harvest Moon or Rune Factory?   Return of PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is an RPG first and foremost. The game does have a farming element, much like…

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has been out for awhile now. Many of my online friends have stopped playing the game. I still play the game though and won’t stop until a new Animal Crossing is released. Why? Time to discuss my Animal Crossing addiction with you! Everyone in my house loves Animal Crossing. My dad has been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube version. My mom started playing the game with Wild World on the DS. I’ve been playing the…

When Nintendo first announced Tomodachi Life for the 3DS, I thought it sounded goofy and didn’t think it would be my cup of tea. Then, I saw the Nintendo Direct focused on the game and I was sold. The game did look goofy, but definitely my type of goofy. I loved how fun it looked. I’ve never played the game as much as Animal Crossing, but I keep coming back to it. Why do I keep coming back? Because its…

The Hitman PS4 beta launched over Valentine Day’s weekend, allowing some lucky gamers the opportunity to get an idea of the gameplay that will be featured in the new title, due for release March 11. The sixth entry in the highly popular stealth game series features our favorite protagonist, Agent 47, and serves as a prequel to the prior games (with the exemption of the events being after the gameplay of Absolution).

In a desolate future, a man and his dog need your help. No, this isn’t Fallout 4. I’m talking about Lionel City Builder 3D: Rise of the Rails, a train simulation game released recently for the 3DS. In the game, you drive trains and deliver stuff in the Story Mode and build stuff in the Creation Mode. But what if you have no interest in trains? Is Lionel City Builder a good game for everyone, a good one for just train enthusiasts, or should you just avoid the game completely?

Over the course of the history of gaming, game designers have allowed players minimal to no choices regarding how the storyline of their game ends. Perhaps they might give the player a chance to decide to spare or kill an enemy NPC or let them pick their party members – but never decisions big enough to feel important. With the emergence of games like the Telltale Series, players are getting more and more power allotted to them to influence their final ending. Games like Silent Hill and Bioshock started to allow players to have one of three to five different ...

Farming Simulator 15 is not a widely heralded titled. It is definitely not selling as well games landing this summer - most notably the Witcher 3 - but that doesn't mean you should brush it off. If you don't own a PC, the Xbox One / PS4 version of Farming Simulator 2015 is an excellent addition to anyones gaming library.
