Jack and Jill went up a hill…and ended up in a video game. Indie game Jack N’ Jill DX came to the Nintendo Switch eshop recently. I received a review code for the game and checked it out. Is Jack N’Jill DX any good? Jack N’ Jill DX is a runner. You do not control the movement of your character. At the beginning of the level, you press A and the character runs. After that, all you can do is…

Thanks to our good friends at Xbox Canada, we were able to take a look at NBA 2K19 on the Xbox One X, and although it had been a few years since we had played a basketball video game - outside of arcade releases - and were pleasantly surprised with how far the genre has come. But is NBA 2K19 worth your time? Let's dive in!

Promoting your product can be fairly difficult in 2018, because of two main reasons. It’s hard to know where people are getting all their content on, and who has the largest market share, making advertising decisions very difficult; second, there is always someone in China that can make it cheaper.

Freebies and promotions are a great way to entice people to buy games, and generally this philosophy works really well. Take for instance major AAA releases, which offer limited perks in game for preordering the game early. In fact, new titles like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and EA Sports NHL 19 both offered three day early access for those who preordered the game. The bonuses are rarely huge – early access as mentioned above, or sometimes cosmetic in game items –…

Gaming at home has never been easier than today, and with a plethora of options, it is no wonder standard arcades are slowly dying out across America. The days of pumping quarters into machines is over, not only because they replaced quarters with swipe cards a long time ago, but also because people are choosing to save those quarters to buy the next blockbuster AAA game like Forza Horizon 4, or FIFA 19. The push to play games at home…

Check out part 1 of my review-in-progress. In part 2, I talk about Torna’s battle system. I’ve already said that its better than Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s system. Why is that? How do you improve on something that is already so good? I’m usually not a fan of auto-attacking combat but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 made their battle system very interesting by giving players options when it came to special attacks for your main person and sometimes other people in your group.…

Final Fantasy 7 is coming to the Nintendo Switch next year. I dreamed of writing those words but I never thought it would actually happen. Final Fantasy 7 on a Nintendo platform!? Final Fantasy 7 on Nintendo’s console/handheld hybrid?! No way! Yes way. Its happening. And so I felt that now might be a good time to talk about my favorite moments of the game.
