I’ve been enjoying Dragon Lapis for the 3DS a lot. Check out my preview of the game here. And now its time for my review of Dragon Lapis. Is this a 3DS rpg that you’ll want to download? I like how Dragon Lapis starts with a cutscene that gives us background into its world. As the game continues, we get a lot more world building and interesting plot twists. All of the characters in this game are unique and fun…

Only a few times in any generation of consoles do we get a title like Yoku's Island Express, a game full of charm, but coupled with fantastic unique gameplay that makes you realize you are playing something truly special. One part Metroidvania and one part pinball, Yoku's Island Express balances both ideas perfectly. Team 17 has created and published something truly special, and they deserve a ton of praise for it!

Warner Bros did not disappoint at E3 2018! I didn’t realize it until my booth tour was over with WB, but villainy was definitely the theme. I only played two titles, but I was a Hitman in one and a DC villain aiding the Joker in a prison escape in the others. I am now realizing how infrequently play villains, and I have say, I loved it. Another delightful surprise, both of these games will release before the end of the year, so players will get a chance to try on the feeling of being wicked in not too long.

Fortnite came to the Nintendo Switch yesterday. If you have a Switch, you probably already know that. Its been reported that 2 million people have downloaded the game so far! And thats just in 24 hours! Who knows how many people will download it in the end. It is a free download on the Switch eshop. If you don’t have it, I recommend getting it. Why? Let me tell you what I think of it so far. You can checkout…

Daemon X Machina was perhaps the biggest surprise of Nintendo’s E3 Direct. It was a game we had never heard of before and knew zero about. The brief teaser yesterday during the Direct didn’t really tell us much. We knew it was a game involving mechs but not much else. Live Gameplay was shown during today’s Treehouse Live! Check out the gameplay (via Nintendo Everything) and then please come back here for my impressions of Daemon X Machina. At first…

We also got more news about the new Octopath Traveler demo! Octopath Traveler will be coming the Nintendo Switch on July 13th. The game is currently available for pre-purchase on the eshop! Treehouse Live today showed off some more footage…

Cyberpunk 20177 is here folks, and the hype begins! While you might best no the team from CD PROJEKT RED because of their work on the Witcher series - including the Witcher 3 which might be one of the best games of this generation! - the team has closed the door for the time being on a large open world Witcher title, and have instead set their sights on a new adventure. While still an action RPG open world experience, Cyberpunk 2077 will be much different in terms of environment, characters, and story, but perhaps could take some of the same mechanics that ...

Resident Evil is the franchise on everybody’s lips. Gamers are preparing to buy the second entry in their millions, Capcom is pushing the genre forward with every new title and fans can’t wait to see what happens next. The year is 1998 – and the bubble is about to burst. The reaction to the first trailer for the second REmake has been almost universally positive, and rightly so. It was different, but in a way that embraced both the old…

Mario Party is back, channeling the original titles focus of board game playing, and ditching the recent team concept. And I’m all for it! For a whole console generation now, Mario Party as a franchise has been on a steady decline. Both Mario Party 9 on the Nintendo Wii and Mario Party 10 on the Nintendo Wii U, ditched the concept of individual play, and instead put players together in a vehicle. For players who had been fans since Mario Party 1, this was a letdown, and enthusiasm for the franchise waned.

Splatoon 2 news! Nintendo announced today that the Splatoon 2 single player will be coming soon. Real soon! Plus, they also announced something other things for Splatoon 2.

Although, if you beat the mode, you’ll unlock the ability to play as an Octoling in the multiplayer! Nintendo said that new weapons and multiplayer stages would continue until December…
