Nintendo Switch Games That Need Mouse Support
A lot of original Nintendo Switch titles are getting patches to work on Nintendo Switch 2, and here are just a few of the games we feel need to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse support via updates and patches! Let’s get going! Two Point Series: At the time of writing, the Nintendo Switch does not currently have a version of Two Point Museum available, but we assume that will be coming at any time now. When that…

Donkey Kong Bananza Previews – The Game is…?
A bunch of media in the United States and Canada were given extended hands on time with Donkey Kong Bananza, and as someone who wasn’t, and then was, excited for the game, I watched and read as much as I could. With only a few weeks to go until the game launches, I’ve never been more excited. Let’s talk through some of the comments! First and foremost, Nintendo has confirmed that it is the Super Mario Odyssey team working on…

Impression Gears of War: Reloadeds: Multiplayer Beta
There’s something special about booting up a game that defined your teenage years and realizing—it still slaps. That’s exactly what Gears of War: Reloaded delivers in its multiplayer beta: a brutal, beautiful return to form that manages to feel both nostalgic and surprisingly fresh. Whether you’re a longtime fan who can still hear Marcus Fenix yelling “Dom!” in your sleep, or a newcomer curious about the franchise’s legacy, this beta has something for you. The first thing that hits you…

Expedition 33 isn’t Final Fantasy – And That’s It’s Strength
It’s been a common comment over the last couple of months. “Those Expedition 33 guys, they’ve done good. They should work on the next Final Fantasy. It’s better than Final Fantasy.” I’m here to say that’s madness. Final Fantasy is one of my favourite franchises. I spoke last year about how it had finally rediscovered its identity in Final Fantasy XVI and more so in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. It took a long, long time to get there. You can…

The Steam Summer Sale is Here – No Need to Applaud
It’s Steam’s summer sale again, and as always it crashed under the weight of bargain hunters checking their wish lists. If they were anything like me, they came away disappointed. It’s a well-chewed truism now taht Steam sales aren’t what they used to be. The removal of flash sales and other bonuses that made Steam’s offering standout had turned it into just another set of discounts. Usually the biggest benefit is that other stores also reduce their prices around the…

Celebrate 626 Day with Stitch and The LEGO Group
Despite being a massive Disney fan – we vacation and/or cruise almost yearly at Walt Disney World or on Disney Cruise Line – I’m saddened to say that I did not realize that 626 Day was a thing. Well guess what, it is. The LEGO Group is here to celebrate that mischievous alien, Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, on 626 Day! Honestly, if Mario can have March 10th, then why can’t Stitch have June 26th? With the latest Lilo…

Chuck the Kallax – BoxThrone from Box King
GamesReviews has entered into a partnership with BoxKing to review some current products, and future products as well. To that end, the tables, mats, accessories and more were all provided by BoxKing. That said, our reviews, as always, are our own, so let’s get into the first magnificent BoxKing item: the BoxThrone! I always like to talk about negatives first, and my only complaint – and is it really a complaint? – would be the price. While Project Ironwood was…

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma – Not Your Typical Rune Factory
Rune Factory has never been my favourite cozy / farming / RPG experience for a variety of reasons, but mostly I found all the different systems involved a bit too much for my liking. I know others LOVE the Rune Factory franchise, and I readily admit that it’s one of the larger and more loved franchises available on console. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma just felt different, and while my time with other Rune Factory games is pretty limited, this…

Cyberpunk 2077 Review on Switch 2: Who Knew Portable Gaming has come so far?
Who knew that in 2020, the idea of playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a handheld felt about as realistic as becoming a cybernetically enhanced samurai overnight. The game was enormous, ambitious, and barely ran on last-gen consoles at launch. We all remember how Cyberpunk 2077 had a rough start, and the game had to undergo many updates and hot fixes, especially with the 2.0 update, which included extra story content, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Welcome to 2025, with the Global release…

Donkey Kong Bananza Can’t Come Soon Enough
Although it is only a month away, Donkey Kong Bananza cannot come soon enough in my opinion. There has been a lot of chatter about the lack of first party experiences for the Nintendo Switch 2, but once Donkey Kong launches on July 17th, I imagine that rhetoric will die down very quickly. Although I was less than impressed by this new Donkey Kong adventure when the game was first announced and shown off, I’ve come full circle after the…
