Do you like Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Wait, don’t answer that. Of course you did. Who was your favorite character? If you said Poe Dameron, then you’re in luck. A new trailer for Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens was revealed today and Poe Dameron was the focus of it! Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is coming out in June, so of course we’ll be seeing a lot of trailers and advertisements for the game before then. The…

Lego games just keep coming out. There’s no stopping the freight train that are Lego games. What do I think of the Lego series so far? I’ll tell you all about that, plus which game is my favorite and which game I’m hoping they’ll do after Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens! I haven’t played every Lego game, but I’ve played a lot of them and played demos of some of them too. The Lego franchise has come a long…

This week, toys-to-life fans were dealt a major shock when Disney announced that they were ending Disney Infinity and also closing the company that made it. Not only that, but Disney is getting out of making games altogether! My thoughts on the game, this shocking announcement and Disney leaving the industry are below. Also: I’m asking all of our readers: What do you think of all of this? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! Disney announced that they were…

One of my early entries to this column said that every video game needed a story. Now I’m back to give you the opposite position: Video Games don’t need stories! Tetris, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and many other games do not have stories. After my last article about video games needing stories, I had some people say, ” Ya, but this game doesn’t have one.” And its true. Not all video games need stories. In fact, I’ll just…

I’ve been a fan of the Oddworld games since the first game on PS1. When it was announced that the new game, Oddworld N’Tasty, was coming to the Wii U I was really excited. As it turned out, New N’Tasty for Wii U was a great game! And now the developer, Oddworld Inhabitants, has announced a new game in the franchise. What’s this game called and what’s it about? Read on to find out!     Oddworld Inhabitants has announced…

I cannot say I have ever been a huge fan of the Hitman franchise; I was not a fan of previous installments of the series on console, and I absolutely despised the big screen approach. However, something intrigued me by this new Hitman title that has launched on PS4 and Xbox One. Whether it was the developers constantly reminding the public that this was a different type of Hitman game, or if it was the fact that the company was…

I use to be a fan of Sony and Microsoft. I liked the PS1-3 and I liked Xbox and 360. Recently though, I’ve become a Nintendo only gamer. What happened? Why did I give up on Sony and Microsoft? Let me tell you about it. Once upon a time, I decided to get a Playstation 1 instead of a Nintendo 64. I loved Nintendo, but the PS1 seemed like the better system. I did get a Gamecube and a Wii,…

Mighty No. 9 is a much talked about Indie game thats coming out...sooner or later. Honestly, I don't care when its coming out. I think the game looks like a generic Mega Man game. So why am I writing about the game? Well, I have to have my say too! This is the internet!

The rising price of AAA video games at Canadian retail locations is making me wonder something: how long can consumers continue to pay the high price of games? Best Buy Canada and Amazon Canada have been offering a bunch of pre-order incentives for games announced at E3 2015. With a 5-10$ discount, these retailers are charging 64.99 - 69.99; that means the regular price on these titles is 74.99 - 79.99. With a 13% sales tax in Ontario, that means a brand new AAA tilte at full cost could set back consumers 90.00, or roughly 1/5 the price of an Xbox One or PS4.

If you own an Xbox One and have enjoyed Halo in the past, Halo: Master Chief Collection is hands down the best value for your dollar you will find on the console. I think many would have paid nearly the retail price just for Halo 2: Anniversary Edition - which is the definitive version in this bundle - but to get Combat Evolved, Halo 3, and Halo 4 is a huge bonus. If you need something to play with friends this holiday season, look no further than this Halo collection which is sure to not disappoint.
