Splatoon 2 comes out tomorrow (7/21). Please check out Adam Roffel’s review. And you should check out this cool new Splatoon 2 launch trailer from Nintendo UK too! I love how this trailer gives a run down of all the different modes in the game. My favorite part, though, is when a lot of the special new weapons (hamster ball!) are shown! What do you like best about the above trailer? Are you looking forward to Splatoon 2?…

It's been a little while since we dove in and looked at a standalone speaker system from Creative. Our last few speaker reviews have all been of the Bluetooth and NFC variety, so to get back to traditional speakers is amazing! The Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 speaker from Creative has been available for a while, but still is a great system for the low price of 129.99. This PC setup will make a great addition to anyone's office space, and although we have a few issues with the system as a whole, it's a worthwhile investment for a low range surround sound system.

The first demo gives you a good look at what the actual game…

The New Nintendo 2DS XL is coming out next week. Check out this new launch trailer for the system! The New Nintendo 2DS XL will be out on July 28th. In my opinion, this system looks like the best version of the 3DS yet. The system is very sleek and slim. The screens are huge and the system’s colors, blue & black, look great. If you don’t care about 3D, then then the New 2DS XL looks like the best…

Not many games entice me to be online often like Splatoon 2 when it comes to Nintendo products. Even with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I generally spend way more time offline with friends locally, than online with strangers! I suck at first person shooters, and I generally play adventure title, almost exclusively. About there is something unique about Splatoon that makes me come back again and again, and I'm not sure I can put my finger on one reason why. Whether it's the online modes, Salmon Run, or the single player campaign, there is always something to do in ...

Not that long ago, I did a review of RPG Maker FES for the 3DS. The object of the game, of course, is to make rpgs. You can also download rpgs that other people have made and play them. Though, at the time I reviewed the game, there weren’t many rpgs to play yet. So I decided, for this column, to go back to the game and see if anybody came out with a cool rpg yet. Let’s take a…

Harvest Moon type games have an instant attraction to so many gamers because of the laid back nature of their game play mechanics. Generally, games like Harvest Moon are relaxing titles, a great way to rid yourself of stress at the end of a long day. Generally, these games rarely ever have an adventure or story component too them, which makes them fairly one-dimensional. Enter Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. Part exploration, part adventure, part crafting, and part farming, this title takes the best components of numerous genres and creates a relaxing, ...
