A Nintendo Direct was rumoured for today but Nintendo never made an official announcement for it. I was starting to have my doubts that we’d see a Direct. As it happens, we did get a Nintendo Direct! You can check it out below along with my initial impressions of it. I’m not going to hide my opinion here: I was disappointed with this Nintendo Direct Mini. Yes, I do think it was partly because the Direct was so hyped and…

Assassin's Creed Rogue is being remastered, a surprise announcement from Ubisoft today. Rogue, the spin off successor of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, was a title that didn't get a ton of attention as it was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 AFTER the Xbox One and PS4 had already launched. Many people missed out on this great experience, but will get a second shot when it arrives this march.

It's been a long while since a Mario Sports game had a story mode, and for the Mario Tennis franchise, you'll have to go all the way back to Mario Tennis on the Gameboy Advanced. With the promise of a new story mode, new tennis mechanics, and more, can Mario Tennis return to its former glory on Nintendo Switch? Based on the trailer we got today, we definitely think so!

Samsung has had a number of great news items come out of CES 2018, but one of the most important to myself is the unveiling of the Thunderbolt 3 QLED Curved Monitor. This is the first curved model on the market that will support Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. Although many might assume this is soley for a gaming audience, Samsung has assured interested parties that this is a great monitor for all computer related activities. Check out more from Samsung below!

Super Mario Odyssey was one of the BEST games of 2017, and received outstanding scores from almost every media outlet on the planet. It wasn't just because 'open world' 3D Mario games had been a thing of the past, but how well Nintendo returned to that gameplay style. The fun hasn't stopped for Super Mario Odyssey, and in today's first Nintendo Direct of 2018, the company announced new updates coming in the near future!

With another Nintendo Mini Direct in the books, the gloves are off and writers around the world are going to start dissecting what Nintendo is offering fans. The initial impression for some wasn't great: too many Wii U games and older games on other systems being ported to Switch. Based on the low install base of the Wii U, and that many Nintendo fans ONLY own Nintendo consoles, bringing all of these 'older' titles to the Nintendo Switch is actually a really smart idea, and in no way causes assumptions of laziness on the part of Nintendo, and other developers ...

Want to go on a Catventure? Whats a Catventure you ask? Well, I’m glad you asked. You see a Catventure is when you take an adventure as a Cat who travels a land thats mostly cats expect for the bad guys of course. We don’t kill cats around here. Where’s here you ask? I’m talking about the world of Cat Quest for the Nintendo Switch of course! Cat Quest for the Nintendo Switch is an action rpg unlike any other…

Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS is a great game. Check out my review here. I highly recommend the game if you have a 3DS. Of course, if you just have a Nintendo Switch, then you are all out of luck at the moment. Chicken Wiggle is not on the Switch right now. But…it could be on the system eventually… On twitter today, Jools Watsham from Atooi announced that they are “Gauging interest…via a kickstarter campaign” of bringing Chicken Wiggle to…

I'm going out on a limb and saying that EVERYONE who loves gaming, movies, and technology in general has been sitting around for the last number of years saying, "I really want a 146 inch modulre TV from Samsung." Well, all of our prayers have been answered, as Samsung officially unveiled The Wall during CES 2018, yesterday. While I joke about everyone wanting this technology, it is a rather impressive initiative from Samsung, one that I think will garner a ton of attention over the next few months. What does The Wall all offer? Let's take a look!

According to my stats from Xbox Canada, I played a lot of games on my Xbox One in 2017, some on the original Xbox One, some on the Xbox One S, and a TON on the Xbox One X! One of those games that got an uptick in play time near the end of the year was ARK: Survival Evolved. This was for two reasons: first, ARK developers released a 4K update for the game which I wanted to see for myself on the Xbox One X; second, the latest expansion for ARK was recently released. Titled Aberration, this new DLC pits you against the radioactive world, deep under ground. Think ...
