Infinite Mini Golf on Steam
Mini golf games have always been my Achilles heel. The game could be utter garbage - and trust me, I've purchase more than my fair share on 3DS alone! - and I would STILL buy it. Fortunately, I didn't have that worry when I reached out to Zen Studios to look at their latest release, Infinite Mini Golf, which is currently available on Steam, as it has been fantastic from start to finish, even without all the modes available at the moment. Later this month, the company hopes to have it out on other platforms as well, so take this as our first impressions, with ...
Read More60051 – High Speed Passenger Train
When I look on YouTube at the LEGO cities created by LEGO fanatics, I never consider a city complete without some type of train system. I felt the exact same way about my own city setup, so over the holidays last year I decided to rectify that problem and purchase - actually received as a gift! - the High Speed Passenger Train. With a bit of extra Christmas money, I also bought a few extra boxes of tracks, including LEGO's somewhat new flex-track. Of all the trains available from LEGO, the High Speed Passenger Train is definitely the least impressive, but is ...

Read MoreNintendo Fixes Acceleration Issues in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
We at GamesReviews.com feel pretty confident in the following statement: very few people realized Mario Kart 8 on Wii U had an acceleration problem, but yet will be relieved to hear it has been fixed in the Deluxe edition on the Nintendo Switch.

Read MoreMobile Review: Tokaido
Tokaido might be the most relaxing board game you will ever play, and you have the opportunity to buy the physical version, we strongly recommend it. While not overly complicated, attempting to explain all the rules of the game here would be much too wordy, so we've linked off to a PDF of the rules. In Tokaido, you choose from numerous travelers and begin a trek between two major Japanese villages. Along the way you will stop collect a variety of items that will give you points, and whomever has the most points at the conclusion of the game is deemed the winner.
