Rockstar has delayed GTA6. It’s unsurprising. As games continue to get bigger and gaps between titles longer, this is something we’re going to have to learn to live with. It’s nothing new. That once-in-a-generation title you’ve been waiting for has been pushed back again. It doesn’t have to be GTA6. Pick a game you’re looking forward to and there’s a good chance it’ll see some sort of delay. This isn’t a major problem in the grand scheme of things. It’s…

Star Wars day is coming – as we get closer and closer to May 4th, it’s time to get excited about some Star Wars themed parties and entertainment options! Every year, we put on our favourite Star Wars movies and shows, sometimes build a LEGO set or two purchased from a local retailer, or simply play with some of the Star Wars LEGO we already have at home. This year, there are a ton of stellar Star Wars LEGO sets…

Days Gone was one of my first finishes of 2025, so no surprise they released a remastered version just after. That’s brought up the old conversation about if it’s really a bad game again. Honestly, I expected a poorly scripted, mediocre open world zombie game that only the biggest Sony fan could love. And sure, it’s a diamond in the rough, but you ignore the rough at your peril. Granted, I played it on PC a few years after release.…

With its official launch date set for June 5, 2025, the new mouse controls are one of the most talked-about innovations. It isn't a separate peripheral, but a function built right into its new controllers having gone hands on I am amazed. While there isn't a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 mouse accessory, the redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers themselves possess the surprising ability to function as mice and they do it well.

HordeCore Console Edition is a cross-genre experience on the Xbox Series X|S that offers players a post-apocalyptic world with survival, base-building, RPG, and collectible card game (CCG). It is created by Digitality Games and released by E-Home Entertainment. Players are tasked with leading a group of survivors, creating a sanctuary, and battling the undead in the zombie-infested wasteland. Essentially, HordeCore is a survival video game where one needs to level up their party, distribute resources, and develop defenses to fend…

A few weeks ago, our own Kevin Austin took a run through Japan in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and thoroughly enjoyed his time with the game. Ubisoft Canada was nice enough to share an additional code on the PlayStation 5 for myself to play the game, and I was instantly blown away by the character building the team did early on in the experience. Assassin’s Creed Shadows starts pretty slow, and doesn’t really unleash you on the massive world for well…

Getting a mystery box at an event is one of the most fun things you can do. Generally, though, it’s a well known fact that mystery boxes are just full of things that a company wasn’t able to sell through regular channels, so they create some mystery around what you might get and entice you to make a purchase. That is essentially what Ravensburger is doing here with their latest Lilo and Stitch inspired ox, but there are a few…

Today I had the opportunity to attend the Nintendo Switch 2 experience in Toronto. This event gave us the chance to see the Nintendo Switch 2 in person for over 2 hours. With a larger 7.9 inch 1080p HDR LCD screen supporting up to 120 fps and 4K ability when docked what’s not to get excited about? Nintendo Switch 2 has 256GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi 6, dual C ports, and Bluetooth headphone support.

There are a number of Playmobil sets that I classify as “addons” as opposed to complete sets on their own. These sets provide a number of great pieces that would make great accessories to larger sets you might already own. The Vegetable Garden with Grandparents set is the perfect example of this. My kids have a ton of Country themed Playmobil sets, and they love the mall. We have a number of tractors, a barn, and more that my kids…

There have been a slew of games lately that have had good scores but bad performance. Should critics take this into account when writing their reviews? It’s a harder question than some might give it credit for. What is bad performance? Since making the switch to PC, one of the things I’ve noticed is that bad performance is one of the most subjective things around. I’ve seen too many people bragging about 4090s before furiously ripping something apart for not…
