Toy Battle Board Game Review

My wife and I are always looking for games our kids can play together. We can only play so many games of Catan Jr. and Carcassonne Jr. before we need something else to occupy their time. When I was at Canada Plays 2025 sponsored by Asmodee Canada, I got a quick demo of Toy Battle and I was immediately intrigued. If you are older, you might remember grabbing any action figure you could get your hands on and having a…

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Board Game Review – From the Ashes

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as part of our recent run of Elder Scrolls content. Recently, Modiphius sent over the From the Ashes expansion for the game, as well as the metal coins you can get. Both have been put to use in the last few weeks and while it’s not a ton of new content, it’s enough to keep things interesting in your main campaign. From the Ashes includes a ton of new…

Tabletop Inc. Board Game Review

A few weeks ago, we wrote at length about the components of Tabletop Inc. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been tabling this game quite a bit, and while we definitely have some problems with the game, it keeps coming back which is a good sign. First and foremost, it’s worth noting that Tabletop Inc. is a quite unique game, so if you are looking for something that goes against the grain quite a bit, then I think this is…

Final Fantasy XVI (Xbox) Review-in-progress

I have never played Final Fantasy XVI before. I don’t have a PS5. So when the game was announced for Xbox recently and released, I was really excited about it. Then Square Enix gave us a review code! I’ve been playing it and while my full review isn’t ready yet, I wanted to share my thoughts on the game so far. I’ve been a Final Fantasy fan since FF7 on the PS1. That was the game that made me fall…

Cretaceous Rails Board Game Review

As I noted in our components review and overview of Cretaceous Rails, I honestly wasn’t expecting much when I perused the games Kickstarter page. Once again, this is a strong lesson in not judging something by pictures or overviews. I admitted I was wrong about the production quality in that article – it is top notch! – and I’ll admit I was wrong again as we discuss this game in detail – this is a fantastic experience. Cretaceous Rails is…

Hogwarts Legacy – Nintendo Switch 2 Impressions

A few months ago a friend asked me the following, “Would you play Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch?” I think I gave him the frankest of answers: “If Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch is the ONLY way you can enjoy the game, then yes. But if you can play it on anything else, I’d do that instead.” The response, I think, was fair – while Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch wasn’t unplayable by any means, it also wasn’t…

Nintendo Switch 2 Console Review

Whenever a new console launches, there is going to be obvious excitement for the possibilities. Each console, as is normal, comes with its own set of issues or perceived issues, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no different. While comments and critiques of price were fairly commonplace leading up to the console’s launch, the rhetoric has died down, and for good reason. Is it possible the Nintendo Switch 2 is worth what Nintendo is asking for, taking into account inflation…

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and GameChat

Earlier this week, I hooked up my Nintendo Switch 2 Camera to my Nintendo Switch 2 console and hopped online with fellow Canadian media members, members of the Nintendo of Canada PR team, and Jose Otero from Nintendo Treehouse for a one hour session around GameChat. GameChat was detailed quite a bit in the Nintendo Direct that we saw just before launch, and while it seemed like a cool new concept, I wasn’t sure whether it would latch on or…
