Disney Art Academy Launches May 13
The Art Academy franchise has been a successful one, making even the most reluctant artists into famous artists! Ok, not really, but the series has opened up the world of art to many individuals who might not have otherwise. This is private, and frankly, at 29.99 it is fairly cheap. No brushes, no pencils, and no paint. This will be the cheapest art kit you will ever buy!

Battleborn Review in Progress: Singe Player
After playing through the Prologue of Battleborn, I was fairly excited for what the game, on a single player level, might be able to offer. As with all online centered titles, it is often hard to create an enjoyable single player experience. I often find that you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Gearbox fell into this trap and ends up taking a lot of heat, probably causing the developers to thing, "Was it worth it?"

Nintendo of America announced today that they will be lowering the price of the 2DS and they announced two new 2DS/3DS games for later this year. Check out the news and my thoughts about it below!

Obligations to Employees: Lionhead Studios
In a new report out of the UK, Kotaku cited a few sources who claim Microsoft had suitors lined up to purchase the Fable IP, and perhaps, keep the studio itself open. However, these reports claim that Microsoft rejected the offers, opting to protect their own IP, perhaps for future development. The question needs to be asked though, does Microsoft have a moral - not legal - right to those employees to do their best to keep them employed? It's a thought I've seen more than once since this report came out, but these criticism's are unfounded.

More Thoughts From Me #18: Will Sony and/or Microsoft Win E3?
Last year, I was unimpressed by Sony and Microsoft. They didn’t have much to show for their new systems and yet, many people were pleased with them, especially Sony. You would think with Nintendo showing only one game this year, that it would be an easy win for Sony and Microsoft this year. I have my doubts. I also have my hopes for them! Some people try to act like E3 isn’t a competition. They say “gamers” are the real…

Pokemon Sun and Moon Starters Unimpressive
In a video put out by Nintendo today, Pokemon fans got their first look at the new starter Pokemon for Sun and Moon which are due out later in 2016. Personally, I'm not a fan of any of them - the look, not the types - but perhaps will be surprised. We have put the video at the bottom of this article.

Battleborn Review in Progress: Multiplayer Mayhem
We recently began working on our Battleborn review, and the prologue got us really intrigued for what more we could get out of this multiplayer focused game. Instead of plowing through more of the campaign, we jumped online to see what multiplayer offerings were to be had. While Battleborn lacks a variety of common online modes, the 3 available game types are varied enough to keep you playing for hours on end. Unfortunately, the game would probably perform better in a 3rd person view rather than a 1st person view, but its not an option given to you. This is insanely unfortunate, as all our issues with Battleborn online center around this common problem.
