More Thoughts From Me #12: Staying Earthbound
Earthbound is one of my favorite Super Nintendo rpgs, if not my favorite of all time. I liked the game back when I wasn’t a fan of role playing games. I’ve bought Earthbound three times now: SNES, Wii U, and New 3DS. Why do I keep coming back to this game? I didn’t like any of the NES or SNES Final Fantasy games the first time I played them. What can I say? I was young and foolish. I did,…
More Great DLC from Bethesda: Elder Scrolls Online
It's been a long while since the Elder Scrolls Online launched on PC, and even less time that the game has been available on console. However, Bethesda continues to show support for the game well after launch, and from our perspective, it keeps us playing. As a reviewer, a ton of video games come through my front doors on a weekly basis. Some get played, review, and 'dumped' to never - or basically never - be touched again. This hasn't been the case with Elder Scrolls Online. This is a game that gets played weekly in my home, and all of this added DLC just helps justify the amount of time I've spent with the game.
PDP Partnering with DICE with Mirrors Edge
So, another day, and another opportunity to gush over something Performance Design Products is doing. We are ok with it, and so should you. Remember a few months back when PDP launched a Fallout 4 controller and the internet went nuts over it? Well, it is happening again, although this time PDP is working with Mirrors Edige creators, DICE, to bring some really cool content to retail. Check out the pictures below, and let us know if you plan on picking either of these items up. Both are available for preorder now from PDP at here.
Never Underestimate the New 3DS
I've heard a lot of people question whether they should ever upgrade to the New 3DS or the New 3DS XL. The short answer in my opinion, is yes. Although only a few titles are currently taking advantage of the faster and more powerful processor, there is one extra feature on these new devices that makes playing certain games much more enjoyable.
Earthbound Has Arrived on the New 3DS eshop Today!

The game arrived on the New 3DS today! Will you be picking it up? Earthbound came out on the New 3DS eshop today in North America. The game is also available on the Wii U. Nintendo has been giving the Earthbound games a lot…
Nintendo UK Takes A Look At The History of Star Fox
I still own Star Fox for the SNES. I never did own Star Fox 64 on the 64 because I didn’t have that system. I did buy the game on the Wii however and played the 3DS remake of the game! I’m a huge fan of the Star Fox franchise, especially when its a full on spaceship shooter. In a new video, Nintendo UK took a look at the History of Star Fox. We should do that too! I’ll tell…
Formula Changing for LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens
Travelers Tales has been making LEGO games for a very long time now, and although they have their peaks and valleys, we all know that generally, they make a really solid, family friendly game. The fact that they are going to mess with the original formula for The Force Awakens game is surprising, but yet expected. In an email from Warner Bros. today, we got a first hand look at what might be coming in the next LEGO game, slated to launch this summer.
A Fate Filled with Conquest: A Look At Fire Emblem Fates Conquest
I’ve played a few Fire Emblem games in the past and liked them, but I’ve never been addicted to one before. I recently bought Fire Emblem Fates Conquest and I can’t stop playing the game! I decided to get Fire Emblem Fates Conquest because my dad already had Birthright. I wanted to see what the other path was about and figured I could borrow dad’s copy of Birthright later. I had no idea what Conquest would be about and just…
We Can All Be Winners In Games
No game is made the same. Neither is a person or a potential player. Saying that, I truly believe every person, no matter their circumstances can find joy in video games. That they can become whoever they want to be, even if it’s for just a few hours and become a winner in their own way.
More Thoughts From Me #11: Thank you Nindies!
I’ve reviewed a lot of Indie games in my short time as a reviewer so far. Some are great, some good, just ok, and some are really awful. But the Wii U needs every single Indie it can get! Why are Indies important to the Wii U? Let me tell you about it. When the Wii U first came out, there were not a lot of games for it, but there were some third party developers supporting the system.…
