Last week Daniel Gugliotti reached out to me about a board game he was launching on Kickstarter, I took a look at it and it seems very cool so I wanted to share with all of you. Now it’s worth noting that this game has already reached its goal which is fantastic news, but there is still time for you all to get your foot in the door before it’s too late. Direct from the creator: “Secret Slasher is a…

While the State of Play was an underwhelming start to the Summer games news blowout, there was at least one major bright spot. Astrobot and Dynasty Warriors mark another welcome return to mainstream fun. That’s not something to take for granted. The actual prioritisation of entertainment over production values or spectacle is something that rarely comes along. And while Dynasty Warriors was edging a little closer to edge than I’d have traditionally liked, that series represents the purest of video…

Playmobil Canada is celebrating 50 years, and what better way to celebrate than collaborating with the worlds most recognizable fast food chain to release toys in happy meals. That’s right, Playmobil animals are now available at McDonalds Canada! Wiltopia has quickly become my son Lincoln’s favourite Playmobil theme, so when we stopped for after soccer ice cream at our local McDonald’s, we were thrilled to see these available! At a cost of $2.00 per toy, you can walk into you…

If you saw our review of the Wiltopia Animal Care Centre, you will remember that we were very excited about this line of Playmobil products. I have always loved animals, and animal toys are almost just as good as the real thing. For a long time now, I've wanted Playmobil to do a Zoo line of toys, with enclosures and everything. Who doesn't want to build a zoo? The Wiltopia sets, however, are the next best thing, and each comes with a few little animals, so our home collection is slowly growing. Let's take a look at the Anteater Care set!

I do love a cooperative game - see our Tainted Grail first impressions! - but I'm more of an adventure game fan as opposed to a word game fan. Something like Illiterati was a lot of fun, sure, but that's about as far as my love for word games go.

Let's take a look at Word Travelers, and see if it is something you should add to your ...

To the surprise of nobody paying attention, Call of Duty will be coming to Game Pass. It’s official. Stop asking. Xbox confirmed the news today, after previously confirming it multiple times. But don’t worry guys, you can still secretly hope a new Call of Duty tier is added between now and November. Or that the price suddenly doubles. Microsoft have had a crappy year so far, and there’s absolutely no denying it. They’ve scored more own goals than a blind…
