One of the better features of Assassin's Creed Origins is to snap photos around the world of Ancient Egypt and share them with friends. While you begin exploring the world and consulting your map to see which outposts and camps you might have missed, you are bound to see a number of photo icons dotting your map. Those are not objective, but simply photos taken by others that you can look at. After spending about a half hour last night looking at a bunch of these photos, I realized on thing: Assassin's Creed Origins looks fantastic!

Every Nintendo Generation as of late has had an epic Super Mario adventure - 2 on the Wii! - so when Nintendo announces a Mario title, you assume it's the only one you'll get in the generation. Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64, Super Mario Sunshine on GameCube, a pair of Super Mario Galaxy titles on Wii, Super Mario 3D World on Wii U, and now the pinnacle of them all: Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo Switch. Odyssey spans the history of the whole series, from the 80s to today. And it is so, so good!

There are a number of things you can do in Assassin's Creed Origins that are never actually spelled out for you, and you'll need to learn to do it on your own. Some of these things are fairly minor and obvious, such as dipping your arrow in a fire to set it ablaze. Others, however, are not as obvious, and if it wasn't for all the good people on Twitter, I might have never known this was an option. I call it the Autopilot and Senu Scope technic, and it has changed the way I play Origins!

We've been playing Assassin's Creed Origins for about 6 hours now thanks to Ubisoft Canada, and the game is absolutely pheonmenal.

Today marks the day many Nintendo Switch fans have been waiting for. Those with Nintendo Switch units already have been playing the game since it launched at midnight eastern time - and for the record, Twitter is saying these people are loving it - while others will head to their local retailers this morning to pick up their very first Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Odyssey is one of those once-in-a-generation games that anyone with a Switch - or frankly without one - will want to be playing this holiday season.

Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of my Fire Emblem Warriors review-in-progress. For the fourth and final part of my review-in-progress, I wanted to talk about Fire Emblem Warrior’s story. While Warriors is a different type of game then the regular Fire Emblem series, it does still feel like a game in that series. It also pays tribute to the games that came before it. Come closer. Let me tell you about a story (while trying…

Good friend of the site, Abdallah, has had Super Mario Odyssey for about a week now, and has been working hard to put together a 100% walkthrough of Super Mario Odyssey. With the Embargo lifting this morning, all 16 of his episodes are now available online for your enjoyment.

And now in part 3, I want discuss how you fight in the game and the progression of Warriors. It is totally different from a normal Fire Emblem game, but how different is it?
