Immortals Fenyx Rising Review

Breath of the Wild meets Assassin’s Creed – it’s a recipe that amazingly we haven’t had until exactly this moment. But boy, does Immortals Fenyx Rising taste good. Mixing in a bit of fourth-wall breaking Borderlands humour and plenty of mythology, this is a game that wears its influences on its sleeves. You enter every “shrine” knowing full well that you’re venturing into a Zelda-like environment, and that’s just fine. It’s prettier than Breath of the Wild and, arguably, offers…

‘Bring Back the Battletoads’: Couch co-op is hurting, and it’s not getting better

Couch co-op has been on life support for longer than I care to think. Now even the staples are starting to get away from split-screen. With next-gen shockingly close, it doesn’t seem things are going to be getting any better. Battletoads gave a nostalgic feeling for a time when every great game seemed to be better with friends. That’s still true for today in many ways – so long as you’re not actually sat next to those friends. Keeping those…

Should Super Mario Galaxy be Turned into a Nintendo Switch Collection?

Take Two launched a number of fantastic collections over the weekend on Nintendo Switch, and while financial numbers have not been released yet, fans seem to be very impressed with both the Borderlands Collection and the BioShock Collection. But that made us wonder, with very little Nintendo news on the horizon, what is the possibility we will get more collections brought over to the Nintendo Switch, either by Nintendo, or third parties? We think the probability is pretty high, at least with Nintendo titles. Here are some collections we would love to see.

It's not everyday that one company launches multiple game packages on the Nintendo Switch, but 2K is doing just that with a Borderlands Collection and BioShock Collection. At this time, we at GamesReviews are uncertain if we will have reviews for you, but hopefully we can update this to say we will soon! But for now, let's jump into what is releasing this week!

Is the Nintendo Switch That Much Different Than the Nintendo Wii U (Software)?

With E3 and other major gaming conventions being cancelled around the globe, online events have slowly begun rolling out, making big game announcements and showing off new technologies. Last weeks announcement that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and 2 were being bundled together in a new package highlighted another question that has been bugging me for weeks, if not months - when it comes to available software, is the Nintendo Switch that much different than the Nintendo Wii U?

KontrolFreek Thumb Grips

I've often visited my local game store to purchase or pickup games, and always bypass what I use to consider the "suckers" section of the store. You know it - the place where they put those thumb grips, silicon sleeves, decals, etc. The area where you spend money on things people don't need. I was a complete skeptic. Thankfully, Kontrol Freek decided to test the skeptic in me, and send along thumb grips for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and while I'm not here to tell you they are must own products, having them has been a decent improvement in my overall ...

Nintendo Direct Mini 3-26-20

Nintendo surprised everyone by releasing a Nintendo Direct Mini today. You can check it out below and then please come back here for some thoughts on the Direct! I thought the Nintendo Direct mini was pretty good! No major new Nintendo games were revealed but a whole bunch of third party games were. And Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition was shown off more. I like Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii and the remake for the Switch looks excellent. Its great that…

Almost Three Months – How Is Google Stadia?

Over the past few weeks, I've been diving deep into Borderlands 3 on Google Stadia, and have really been enjoying the experience so far. I'm playing on 40 mb Internet, mostly on my Google Pixel 4 XL, once and a while connecting to Google Chromecast and playing on my TV. And still, the experience has been nearly flawless.

Unfortunate Public Perception Setting Stadia Back – This Is a Good Product

Because of a rough launch, and a minimal number of available games, the launch of Google Stadia has been anything but good. Issues with games not loading, issues with graphic quality during streams, games quitting suddenly – it wasn’t pretty. Add to that the seemingly underwhelming selection of games, and the high entry price point (unless joining via a Buddy Pass), and you have a pretty rough launch. And that is unfortunate, because almost two months later, and Google Stadia…
