The Division Getting Minor Changes
Ubisoft has been releasing some pretty interesting games lately, and their upcoming online shooter, The Division, is no different. However, it was announced recently that some features originally promised are being pulled back. Originally, we were told that players would be able to trade/buy/sell weapons while waiting to load into games, but are now being told this will not be the case. Whether this is permanent or not was never confirmed, so we may see this reintroduced later.

Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Blends Nicely
Paper Mario games are great, although have been trending downwards since the release of The Thousand Year Door on the GameCube. The last release, Sticker Star, was lackluster to say the least, borrowing heavily from the 2D Super Mario games heavily by removing the 'open world' and replacing it with Worlds and Levels, i.e. World 1-Level 1. On the other hand, Mario and Luigi games have always been strong titles, and even Dream Team - despite its various faults and pacing issues - was still an excellent release. I have to assume that Paper Mario fans were intrigued by Paper Jam while Mario and Luigi fans were disappointed. There was nowhere to go but up for the Paper Mario series, and seemingly nowhere but down for Mario and Luigi. Fortunately, Nintendo and the developers of Paper Jam ...

Creating With “Bricks”: A Look At Discovery For the Wii U
A wonderful site called WiiWareWave had a contest on twitter to win a Wii U indie game called Discovery. Discovery is yet another brick creation game in the vain of Minecraft. I had already played two other block creation games (Cube Life for Wii U and The Magic Hammer for 3DS) and thought they were just ok. And yet, I keep wanting to like this genre. I love creating things. So, I entered the contest to win Discovery and, of course, I won. After a couple of days with the game, I decided it was time to talk about it. Is Discovery any good?

Using amiibo to Unlock Dungeon in Twilight Princess HD OK?
I don't think anyone was surprised that Nintendo announced Twilight Princess HD, and because of that, people also shouldn't be surprised that a Wii U - possibly NX? - title would have amiibo compatibility. Unlike other games that add minor things to the game - except perhaps Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam - it seems like amiibo in Twilight Princess HD will actually add more than just a costume. It appears as if this announcement has led to Internet outrage.

Our Tips for Playing Ark: Survival Evolved
If you've had the opportunity to play ARK: Survival Evolved, you know that the first number of hours can be incredibly frustrating. If you don't die a lot, you are probably doing it wrong. The game doesn't hold your hand in any way, which makes online guides so incredibly valuable. While we won't be putting something together that as in depth as some of the Wiki's already available, we will share with you our top tips for playing.

Opinionated Logan: Animal Crossing amiibo Festival
If reviews from popular gaming websites are to be believed, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival is at best a rarely fun experience, but generally a snooze fest, legitimately. Some reviewers said they fell asleep playing this. We picked up the title over Christmas, and sure, some of what these reviews are saying is legitimate. However - and I have spoken about this in the past - it shows a disconnect between hardcore Nintendo fans and the casual audience Nintendo continues to cater too. My son Logan falls into that second category.

It is time for yet another video from our good friend Jezy. This time around, he is unboxing the Turtle Beach Recon50 which Turtle Beach was kind enough to send him. Jezy will be taking about two weeks to use the headset and work on his review, which should go live at that time.

Xbox Games Come and Go, but Nintendo Stays
The last few years have not been the greatest for Nintendo. The 3DS - while still popular - never found the success the original DS had, and the same can be said about the Wii U - more drastically - when compared to the Wii. Fans and haters will sit around for the first half of 2016 waiting on Nintendo NX news. One party getting ready for the hype, and the other looking for reasons to hate. If I am speaking honestly, the Wii U is my least favorite Nintendo console, but has some of my favorite Nintendo games. In my house, Nintendo games stay, while other console titles come and go. While Nintendo platforms this generation lack the variety and heavy hitters, they have all the titles that continue to get play time in my home.
