Get to the Fallout Shelter: A Preview of 60 Seconds for Nintendo Switch
Long ago, in a galaxy not so far away (the United States), people thought that the atomic bomb would drop on them at any second. So some of those people built fallout shelters.

Xbox One X Coverage: ARK: Survival Evolved Looks Fantastic
I've been a long-time fan of ARK: Survival Evolved, and when Xbox released users statistics for 2017, it was no surprise to me that ARK was my most played game this year. The big draw to me for ARK is the gameplay, being able to jump into a game with friends, building crazy structures, taming a legion of dinosaurs, and exploring a huge open world is more important to me than graphical superiority. For the longest time - especially when the game was still in early access - it didn't look great, and at times, it handled even worse. Over this weekend I loaded up the new expansion for ARK, Aberration, and was blown away by how good the game looks enhanced on Xbox One X.

In the UK, it’s claimed that most of the machines are set at 95 percent and there’re many to pay out less as 70 percent in certain pubs. So the odds are worst of all. It’s a type of row of them in the corner of a UK pub that’s the ability to make a landlord more money than that of beer sales but in the US, all the games must payout but not less than 75 percent by law.…

First Impressions – BlackBerry Motion Smart Phone
A box arrived from BlackBerry Canada yesterday, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect of the contents. I knew the BlackBerry Motion and the BlackBerry KEYone were launched in 2017, and that BlackBerry was planning on sending me one for review. Outside of that, however, I didn't know what to expect. My last foray into the BlackBerry world was with the BlackBerry Classic, which I used almost exclusively for business purposes. At that time, I was rocking two cellphones: one for work, one for my personal use. The system worked, but handling two phones at once was always an issue. When I opened up the BlackBerry Motion and began the setup process, I had high hopes that this could be the device that combines but my work life and personal life, into one device.

Tear Down That Fourth Wall: A Look At Yooka-Laylee’s Writing
I’ve said again and again in my reviews of platformers that these types games usually don’t have good stories. In general, the writing in platformers is anywhere from “well, its a fun game” to “cringe, cringe, cringe”. There are exceptions to that rule though, such as Ratchet & Clank and Super Paper Mario. And awhile Yooka-Laylee for Nintendo Switch doesn’t have as good a story as Ratchet & Clank or Super Paper Mario, it does have excellent dialogue! Warning: there…
