Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is re-launching on Nintendo Switch, after a lackluster performance on the Nintendo Wii U. According to VGChartz, the title sold roughly 1.72 million units on the Wii U, being far outpaced by Nintendo's other major franchises, including Mario Kart 8 (8M+), Super Mario 3D World (5M+), New Super Mario Bros (5M+), and Super Smash Bros (5M+).

More Thoughts From Me #118: Quick Reactions

Read MoreDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review
Donkey Kong Country is one of Nintendo's longest running franchises, next to Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, and for good reason. The side scrolling, monkey action has been a staple in homes of Nintendo fans for generations, and while the releases are not as frequent as Mario and Zelda, the quality of the games they do release is fantastic. While we await a new Donkey Kong Country experience on Nintendo Switch - which we believe is imminent - returning to the under appreciated Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze from the Wii U is a great way for ...

My dad got a PSP a while back. He has been playing a lot of games on it. And when I found out there was a LittleBigPlanet for the PSP, he told me to get it (I’m a big fan of the series). So I got it and I have been borrowing his system to play it. How is LittleBigPlanet PSP? Has it been fun playing this series again? LittleBigPlanet for the PSP is a neat game. I won’t say…

Friend of the website, Abdallah, has been rocking out the Robot Kit for a number of days now, and has been posting some great video online showcasing the game in action, as well as how to build the kit itself.
Read MoreTitan Quest – Xbox One
Titan Quest originally release many years ago in 2006 by THQ, but didn’t see a console release until 2018. While the original title was liked by most reviewers - earning a metacritic score of 77 - it wasn’t known coming into launch how it would fair on the Xbox One and PS4. After many hours with the game ourselves, we can say with confidence that the original feel of the game is alive and well, although some polish could have been used to bring the title into the modern age.
