Pokémon Sun and Moon Elevate the Franchise
It's only been a few hours of in game time for me - just completed my first Island Trial - but it is obvious already that Pokémon Sun and Moon have elevated the franchise and taken it places I wasn't sure they would ever get. Even after 20 years of Pokémon video games, Nintendo and Game Freak have found a way to establish new ideas and fresh approaches that even have the most hard core of Pokémon game fans excited.

LEGO Dimensions – Adventure Time Team Pack
We recently took a look at the Adventure Time Level pack, and thoroughly enjoyed what we got in the package. The world is beautifully detailed with that Adventure Time esthetic, and the gameplay itself is different enough to make it feel fresh, but still that classic LEGO action. The Adventure Time Team Pack doesn't add anything new in terms of environments, but brings to life more characters and vehicles from the Adventure Time franchise.

Yes, I know Mario is their mascot and they are not just going to suddenly give up on him, however I’m not sure what else can done with him at the moment. Super Mario Maker, in my opinion, is the ultimate Mario game. Its a Mario game that lets you create your own levels!! How do…

The Loot Gaming box from Loot Crate has been the most consistent box to date - based on reader feedback - and is the one most people are looking forward to looking at each month when we post our reviews. I concur with most folks, although as a gaming website 1st - and a nerd/geek culture website 2nd - it is understandable that the majority of our readers enjoy what comes in the gaming specific box. The October 2016 box was no exception, with great items from Super Mario, Titanfall, Overwatch, and more!
