Late to the Party, But Minecraft Walt Disney World is Fantastic

Have you wanted to travel to Disney World but the pandemic is limiting your options? Or is the ever increasing ticket prices making the dream vacation a continual dream instead of a reality? Then perhaps you need to grab a 29.99 CAD copy of Minecraft, drop around 13.00 on the Disney World pack, and enjoy the sites of Walt Disney World without the guests!

Best and Worst of Nintendo – My Favourite Games in 2021

I played a ton of Nintendo Switch in 2021 due to me getting my YouTube channel off the ground, but I think some of my favourite games of the year might surprise you. You won't find Metroid Dread on this years list, nor will you find New Pokemon Snap. You will, however, find things like...Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2?! Let's take a look!

More Thoughts From Me #288: It Was A Pokémon Christmas

What’s In an Engine?

Gamers don’t have to worry about what engine their favourite games run on. Not usually. Not like a few years ago. The engine is like sound or editing – if it’s doing its job, you don’t even really notice it exists. And yet engines are right at the forefront of conversation again thanks to the Matrix interactive trailer released last week. It was mind-bending. I don’t want to take anything away from it, because I still can’t quite get my…

Pokémon Needs to get Back to Its Roots

Pokémon used to be pretty simple. Go from place to place, catch wild animals in tiny balls, fight gym leaders, complete the Pokédex and, I presume, get laid. No other reward would be worth it.

There were no massive storylines, no systems on top of systems on top of systems, and…

The official description of the game is: “Figment 2: Creed Valley is an action-adventure game set in the human mind. Nightmares are spreading chaos…

When it comes to Presentations, Nintendo Does It Best

Nintendo might lack the flash of other companies when it comes to how they deliver gaming news to their fans, but they do it the best regardless. Sure, there is no hype from a crowd, a big, shinny stage with lights blazing, or celebrity guests and musical artists to get things rocking. Instead, it's just, "Welcome to today's Nintendo Direct / Indie World Showcase / Mini Direct" and we are off to the races.
