King’s Quest Chapter 3: Once Upon a Climb Review
A return of King's Quest on modern consoles had me giddy since day one, and Chapter 1 of this series really got things started off on the right foot.

Performance Design Products makes a lot of great hardware for consoles and PC, and there really isn't any beating around the bush with them: we love there stuff. Sure, we haven't praised some items as much as others, but overall, they make an excellent product.

With the ability to map buttons the way you want, it's the perfect alternative to the very expensive Xbox One Elite controller that Xbox released last year.

Pokemon Remakes A Huge Success
When Nintendo announced 3DS re-releases of the original three Pokemon titles, I was fairly skeptical. After all, how desperately did Nintendo fans want to play a slightly improved – although very true to the original – Pokemon game from the early Gameboy days? Frankly, I was not sure how well these titles would catch on. A complete remake of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow in the style of the new titles? That would have taken off like gangbusters, in my…
