SETI Components Overview and Impressions
When SETIwas announced by CGE, I was pretty excited about it – based on what I’ve read and seen online, CGE has another massive hit on their hands and I’ve been having a blast getting it to the table during this review cycle. Games are all about mechanics, but poor components can hurt a game that is otherwise very good. Let’s take a peak at what comes in SETI and see how it stacks up to the 2024 competition. There…

LEGO Creator 3 in 1 Wild Safari Animals Review
When The LEGO Group reached out and asked if we would like to review the LEGO Creator 3 in 1 Wild Safari Animals set, I admit I wasn’t overly enthused. I’m a bit hot and cold on 3 in 1 sets – I think some are fantastic, particularly the houses you can get – but I find most of them don’t peak my interest like other LEGO sets do. I said yes for two reasons. First, LEGO reviews perform really…
Are We Really Doing Handhelds Again?
Remember the PlayStation Vita? That was an awesome little device. Nobody bought it. Sony didn’t support it. Now Sony and Microsoft are working on new handhelds. We’re supposed to be excited. This time it’ll be different, we’re told. There won’t be any dedicated software. It’ll all be stuff you can play just fine from the comfort of your home. Hell, most of it will be on the Switch 2, if that isn’t just a myth at this point. But THESE…
Windmill Valley Components Overview and Impressions
If there is one thing I know as a person of Dutch descent, it is that there are a few things that you understand are “Dutch” in every way, shape and form.

When I saw Windmill Valley coming from Board and Dice, I knew it was something I needed to…
More Thoughts From Me: Its Almost Morphin’ Time
The Power Rangers was one of my favorite tv shows as a kid. I watched that show every day and even went to see the movie. Soon Digital Eclipse is releasing a brand new Power Rangers game and I’m pretty excited about it. I get nostalgic and try to explain why I’m excited for the new game. Flashback to the 90s: I’m a kid and I’m riding the bus home from school. I can’t wait to see the Power Rangers.…
The Birth of Portable Gaming: A Digital Revolution
In the early 1980s, handheld gaming emerged as a groundbreaking concept that would forever change how people experienced interactive entertainment. The first true milestone was the Milton Bradley Microvision in 1979, a clunky but revolutionary device that paved the way for portable electronic gaming. However, it was Nintendo’s Game & Watch series, introduced in 1980, that truly captured the public’s imagination. These simple yet innovative devices featured single-game LCD screens with basic electronic designs that became instant collector’s items. The…
The Flood Components Overview and Impressions
The Flood is one large and heavy game, but just because a box is packed with goodies doesn’t make those goodies come together in a way that’s fun or entertaining. I have played a few games of The Flood already and can confirm it’s a lot of fun, but that’s not what this article is about – let’s take a look at the game’s various components and see whether they live up to the Kickstarter hype! The Flood was sent…
