Although I only had access to the retail version of the game, it was still a fantastic unboxing experience with tons of great components.…

Madden 26 Review
I’ve spent the last week living in the pocket with Madden NFL 26 on Xbox Series S, and for the first time in a long while, it feels like EA’s football sim is finally moving the chains instead of punting on third down. The on-field speed is snappier, animations finally sell contact without looking like a physics experiment gone wrong, and the broadcast package wraps the whole thing in a Sunday-afternoon vibe that makes even a midseason matchup feel like…
Why I’m Beyond Excited for Ghost of Yōtei—And Everything We Know So Far
When Ghost of Tsushima debuted, it set a new bar for samurai epics with painterly landscapes, expressive combat, and a story that lingered long after the credits. Ghost of Yōtei is poised to carry that torch into a colder, harsher frontier—Ezo (modern‑day Hokkaidō)—with a fresh protagonist, modernized combat, and an open world that invites you to hunt your enemies in the order you choose. The game launches October 2, 2025, exclusively on PlayStation 5 at release. Three editions are available:…
Disney Lorcana at Sea – Lorcana Events on the Disney Treasure
Last week, my family and I had the pleasure of sailing on Disney’s newest active cruise ship, the Disney Treasure. We will have a full review of our cruise coming up on the site in a few weeks, but there was one specific event offered throughout the voyage that 1) I was surprised by; and 2) was incredible amounts of fun.

LEGO Brick Like This Board Game Review
When LEGO partnered with asmodee and released Monkey Palace, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy that experience as much as I did. It is still a game my kids will request often, and really changed the trajectory of what I thought LEGO games were like. The second in this partnership is now available, but could LEGO Brick Like This live up to the Monkey Palace hype? Let’s take a look! In Brick Like This, teams of two are attempting to create…
We’re Sinking: A Pirate’s Dilemma
Once again I was faced with a semi-cooperative experience, and once again I had a blast playing a genre of games I generally don’t like. I think it was the chaotic nature of this one that made it fun, and while I haven’t come out victorious yet, the pirate shenanigans have me coming back for more. In We’re Sinking: A Pirate’s Dilemma, players are attempting to keep their ship afloat, fight off mighty monsters, and still collect the most treasure…
Gwent Board Game Review
absolutely love The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and still regard it as one of the best games I’ve ever played. Since it first launched in 2015, I have come back to the game again and again. One game-within-the-game is Gwent, a card game played with cards you would collect on your travels. Hachette sent me home from GenCon 2025 with a copy of Gwent, the physical card game, and now I’m here to let you know whether it holds up…
Impressions: Who Are You!? Demo
The Steam demo for Who Are You!? by Haunting Humans Studio offers a tantalizing glimpse into a psychological horror experience that feels both deeply personal and eerily cosmic. With its blend of sci-fi intrigue, emotional storytelling, and unsettling atmosphere, this demo sets the stage for what could become a standout entry in the narrative-driven horror genre. From the opening moments, Who Are You!? establishes a tone of unease. You step into the shoes of Ray Roswell, a man haunted by…
