It’s hard to put out a racing game today and not be compared to things like Forza or Gran Tourismo, which are the cream of the crop in the gaming world to be honest. But Ubisoft tries their damnedest with The Crew Motorfest. Eight years ago, with THE CREW 1, they  brought to life a vision of a shared open world filled with car adventures. They gave players the opportunity to experience the illegal street racing fantasy in the whole…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem has been my favorite movie this year, even one of the few I went out to the theater to go see. TMNT had peaked in popularity prior in the late 80’s to early 90’s, I was the prime age demographic for who they wanted in a consumer. I had all of the figures, a massive collection, enjoyed the movies, all the games (even the tough as nails NES one) and yes, I even had…

Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus have been some go-to cozy gaming of mine for the past couple of years. Harking back to Theme Hospital back on the PC, where I also spent waaay too much time playing, the series has been a comfort food sort of gaming experience for me since then. A brilliant mix of humour, simulation, and fun make it a good time had by all. Now Two Point Studios introduces its latest DLC instalment for…

So of course, we need our annual installment in the Madden series to allow us…

What I experienced went from a heartwarming and quirky fairytale and turned into a dark, macabre, and nightmarish experience I won’t soon forget. This ...

Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s, licensed games were all the rage and back then there also was a plethora of of Disney themed games featuring numerous franchises such as Lion King, Aladdin, Duck Tales and so much more. But perhaps none were as more iconic as the ones featuring our favorite mouse and figurehead of Disney Mickey Mouse. This time he brings along some friends for a Metroid Vania platforming extravaganza. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and ...

Discovery’s FRIENDS Fan Week, a week-long celebration leading up to International ...
