Thomas Hopper is an indie developer for the Wii U (and other systems). He created a really good puzzle adventure game called Factotum for the Wii U. I liked it a lot. I thought his second game was a mixed bag, but still considered him to be an excellent developer for the Wii U. And now Thomas has another game for the system: Octocopter: Super Sub Squid Escape. He gave me a review copy of the game and I’ve been…

There is nothing flash about the ARCTIS 3 headset from Steel Series, but that is perfectly OK with me.

Read MorePokémon Sun and Moon Elevate the Franchise
It's only been a few hours of in game time for me - just completed my first Island Trial - but it is obvious already that Pokémon Sun and Moon have elevated the franchise and taken it places I wasn't sure they would ever get. Even after 20 years of Pokémon video games, Nintendo and Game Freak have found a way to establish new ideas and fresh approaches that even have the most hard core of Pokémon game fans excited.
Read MoreLoot Gaming – October 2016
The Loot Gaming box from Loot Crate has been the most consistent box to date - based on reader feedback - and is the one most people are looking forward to looking at each month when we post our reviews. I concur with most folks, although as a gaming website 1st - and a nerd/geek culture website 2nd - it is understandable that the majority of our readers enjoy what comes in the gaming specific box. The October 2016 box was no exception, with great items from Super Mario, Titanfall, Overwatch, and more!
