Each time we review a new expansion for The Pokemon Trading Card Game, the Pokemon Company International is usually kind enough to send along a few Themed Decks for us to try. In the past, my son Logan and I have pitted the two themed decks against each other, and talked about the values and considerations for each. We did that again, so let's dive into our experiences!

Read MoreFinal Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster – Trailer (Nintendo Switch)
I remember going to Gamestop at nine pm to pick up Final Fantasy X for the PS2. There was a really long line of people waiting for this game. I had never seen anything like it. I didn’t usually go to get games on the first day like that. I haven’t done that since, but it was well worth it for Final Fantasy X. It is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. And now its coming to the Switch…

Read MoreThe Bard’s Gold
What do you get when you throw a bard into an action/platformer on the Nintendo Switch? Let’s find out in my review for The Bard’s Gold! The Bard’s Gold is an action/platformer with some rpg elements. There isn’t much of a story; Bard’s Gold focuses on its gameplay. Three difficulty settings are provided: Normal, Retro Mode, and Rogue-Lite. Normal is probably the easiest setting but does come with some drawbacks. In normal mode, the player is only given three lives…
Read MoreModern Combat Blackout Review
Gameloft has made a bold step bringing a traditionally iOS franchise over to the Nintendo Switch, and while Modern Combat Blackout is a port of a mobile title - which is both visually and controlably noticeable - there is still something fun and engaging about the game that kept me coming back for more. Is the most visually appealing game? Is this the best first person shooter on Nintendo Switch? The answer to both these questions is a resounding no, but I still liked it! Let's dive in!
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #161: 8-Bit Adventure Nostalgia Overload
Back in the NES days, I wasn’t into rpgs. I played a lot of platformers and action games. And occasionally, I played 8-bit adventure games too. There are three adventure games that I still think about after all these years: Deja Vu, The Uninvited, and Shadowgate. I hadn’t played these games in years, but then I saw a video that showed a collection called 8-Bit Adventure Anthology Vol. 1 that included all of them. I had to have it! So…
Read MoreIs Apex Legends worthy of the hype?
Ever since Apex Legends hit the PC, Xbox and PS4 in February, it has already been heralded as the game of 2019. The battle royale title was released with relatively little fanfare by Electronic Arts, and it quickly became an overnight sensation by picking up no less than 25 million players in its first week. Many critics had been sceptical that Apex Legends was just another lazy addition to an already overcrowded battle royale realm. But with growing numbers of…
Read MoreProtect Your Heart From Enemy Attacks in Deltarune Chapter 1 for Nintendo Switch
I had heard about Undertale for awhile but I had never played the game until it came to Nintendo Switch. I liked the game and its oddball humor. So when a new game from the same developer was announced I was interested. Of course, making the first chapter free to download and play made me want the game even more. Deltarune is the name of the game and I checked it out. Is it as good as Undertale? I haven’t…
Read MoreAnodyne Review
I took a look at Anodyne earlier in the week and liked it. Now its time to review the game. Is Anodyne an adventure worth taking or should you skip this one? Anodyne is an action/adventure rpg that will remind you of the Legend of Zelda and its humor will remind you of Earthbound. However, Anodyne does have its own unique (dark) story, characters, enemies, and areas to explore. Anodyne’s retro style is very charming and its gameplay is solid.…
