With the launch of the Xbox One X recently, the talk has been all about graphics. And while that is important - and definitely appreciated when playing the popular Xbox games in 4K - there is something that should be said about portability and stability, versus graphical power. I'll be the first to say that if I have to take a minor graphical hit to take my favorite games on the go with the Nintendo Switch, I'm all for it. The argument has been, "Well the graphics are going to be really poor on the Nintendo Switch." Frankly, that just isn't the case, and ...

I've never been a big fan of the Minecraft genre of games, mostly because of the graphical deficiencies, and because I feel I'm too dang old to start getting involved now. However, one game over the past year has really grabbed my attention, and I've spent hundreds of hours with friends and families building up little towns and villages complete with castles, homes, workshops, and more. I'm talking Portal Knights, one of the better sandbox titles to release this past year on console, and it is coming to Nintendo Switch.

The typical Pokémon generation of video games has been highlighted by two initial releases, followed by one ‘complete’ release. You had Pokémon Red and Blue, and then Pokémon Yellow. You had Gold and Siler, and then Crystal. You had Diamond and Pearl, and then Platinum, and so on. Until the release of Black and White, followed up by Black 2 and White 2, Game Freak has stuck to this generational system. Not until now has Game Freak again released sequels to their most popular title, rather than a ‘complete’ edition. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are ...

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 1st. It really does look like it’ll be the biggest and best jrpg to come to any system this year.

I’ve been watching a lot of preview footage for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lately. The game looks so very good! I did enjoy the other Xenoblade games, however Xenoblade…

I played Resident Evil Revelations on the Wii U and liked it a lot. It was a lot like classic Resident Evil, expect with a better in-game camera! I never got to play Resident Evil Revelations 2 because that game never came to the Wii U. And now Capcom is bringing both games to the Nintendo Switch. Check out the brand new Nintendo Switch Features trailer for Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 and then please come back for my…

If you haven't had the opportunity yet to play Horizon Zero Dawn, you need to stop reading this article, head to your nearest retailer, and grab a copy. If not for a few heavy hitters from Nintendo, you'd likely be playing the Game of the Year; if you want my opinion on the matter, it stands a chance to win, regardless of what has been released so far this year! To extend the game play experience, the developers have released a large DLC expansion for the game title The Frozen Wilds, which adds a whole new biome for Aloy to explore, and quests to complete.

There are a ton of impressive titles already enhanced on the Xbox One X, but I'm pretty sure no upgrade is as pronounced as the enhancements made to Quantum Break. With the faster load times, more stable frame rate, and upgraded 4K visuals, nothing else compares!

Doom is a game that no one would have ever guessed would come to the Nintendo Switch. It was not long ago that we found out that the game was coming and it was a total surprise. A mature first person shooter for Nintendo Switch?! Wow! And now Doom is out and I’ve played it. Is Doom a good game on the Nintendo Switch? The Story Doom’s story isn’t bad but its not that good either. The story really isn’t…

We all know about the power packed under the hood of the Xbox One X. Microsoft is boasting that their latest console has 40% more power than any other console on the market, with a 2.3 GHz clocked 8-core Custom AMD CPU, 12 GB of GDDR5 of graphics memory, and 6 Teraflop GPU enabled 4K for outstanding picture quality. For your hardcore, technological expert, all of this data means something; for the rest of us, it's a lot of numbers and acronyms that sound great, although we aren't entirely sure what they mean. But at the end of the day, what does the Xbox One ...

L.A. Noire is coming out for the Nintendo Switch this Tuesday (11/14). Will the game be a good addition to the Switch’s library? Check out L.A. Noire’s launch trailer below and my impressions too!
