Troy Baker Reprises Role as Talion in Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Troy Baker is becoming - if he not already is - a legend in the gaming industry for performing a number of key roles in big budget, AAA video games. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that he will be reprising his role as Talion in the new Middle Earth title, Shadow of War. If you aren't familiar with Troy Baker you should be, and having him reprise his role again is only another sign that Shadow of War will be equally as good, if not better, than its predecessor.

Pokémon Nintendo Direct – 06/06/2017
Today was the much anticipated Pokémon Direct that was to outline games coming to the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. While there was much talk about what we would potentially see - a rerelease for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Stars on Nintendo Switch - what we got was, well, slightly disappointing for some, and pretty exciting for others!

ARMS is More Than You’ve Probably Seen
When I think of ARMS, I think of a crazy, 1v1 bash-em-up fighting game. OK, not a typical fighting game, but one where the farmers have cool gadgets instead of hands, and long springy arms. If you like that kind of thing, than that picture of ARMS probably sells you on the title, even if you never took part in any of the tests that have been ongoing. I'm not that guy, and that aspect of ARMS doesn't interest me in the slightest, at least not at the moment. What does interest me, however, is the loads of other modes built into the game!

Pokémon Direct Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning at 7 AM PDT, Nintendo will be hosting a Pokémon Direct to talk all things Pokémon. With E3 2017 just around the corner, it seems odd that Nintendo would be doing this now, but I expect a fairly big announcement tomorrow to hype people up for what Nintendo has at E3 – if what they were already going to show wasn’t enough!

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers
Street Fighter games are not my forte, but I enjoy playing them with friends none-the-less. We have received many iterations of the Street Fighter franchise on all platforms over the last number of decades; I swear each game has been rebooted and re-released a dozen times or so. The Nintendo Switch port of Ultra Street Fighter II makes a bit more sense to me only because of how the Switch is meant to be played: on the go. Despite perhaps owning this multiple times over, having a Switch copy is actually pretty important for a hard-core Street Fighter fan, but at what cost?

More Thoughts From Me #71: Space, the final frontier…
Captains Log. Stardate 485880028.1. There has never been a great Star Trek video game. There have been some fun ones, but for some reason, no one can ever get Star Trek games exactly right. This franchise has so much video game potential. I really need to talk to Starfleet about this. Oh wait. I think I’ll talk to my readers about my favorite Trek games and what Trek games I’d love to see instead! Yes, I’m a Trekkie. Or a…

Building Bases in Portal Knights
I've spent a considerable amount of time building and maintaining a thriving base on the first world in Portal Knights. With the help of family - 2 brothers and a German exchange student to be precise - we have built houses, workshops, farms, and more to house our growing hoards, and to act as a base for all our operations. I've found one thing to be very true about these experiences: it is so relaxing. I never thought this type of game would cause me to relax and unwind, but this definitely has.
