Its been awhile since I last played Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. I admit I forgotten that I even played it till now. I tried the demo again, loved it and since it was on sale and I had the Playstation 4 credit, I decided to pick the game up. And its an absolutely wonderful cartoon…I mean game! Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is like a playable cartoon. The graphics are very animated cartoon like and absolutely wonderful.…

Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath is one of my favorite Oddworld games. It is so different from the other ones: it has no Abe, a “wild west” setting, a weapon with live ammo, and other very unique things. And tomorrow Stranger’s Wrath will be getting a Collector’s Edition for Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games! Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath will be getting a collector’s edition for Nintendo Switch tomorrow. The collector’s edition will include the Nintendo Switch game, a soundtrack, three art cards,…

Released yesterday, Marvel's Avengers is, surprisingly, the first big-budget Avengers game available on PC and current-gen consoles. Despite the overwhelming success of Marvel's movies and TV shows in the last 12 years (since 2008's Iron Man re-ignited their franchise), their heroes have been noticeably absent on the gaming scene. Other than some mobile games and the latest installment of the always enjoyable Marvel Ultimate Alliance series, fans have been left waiting for a triple-A Avenger's title for almost a decade. Now, Marvel's Avengers is here and it's ...

Did you like platformers on the Nintendo 64 or Gamecube (or PS1/PS2)? Then you may want to check out Ary and the Secret of Seasons on the Nintendo Switch! Here’s our review.

Back in the Super Nintendo days, I picked up a game called Super Mario All Stars which collected all three orignal Super Mario Bros games plus the Lost Levels. I was so excited to play it and I loved it. And now the collection is on the Nintendo Switch online service. So how is it? Nintendo added the Super Mario All-Stars collection to the Nintendo Switch Online service today as part of the Mario 35th anniversary celebration. I’ve played it…

Oh my god. I’m older than Mario?! 35 Years Ago, Mario jumped onto the scene and the world of video games was never the same. And now Nintendo is celebrating Mario’s big anniversary is a major way. My impressions of today’s Mario Nintendo Direct are below! I’ve always liked Mario. My very first game ever (or at least the first one I remember playing) was Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for the NES. Duck Hunt was neat but Super Mario Bros…

No Straight Roads for the Nintendo Switch is a rhythm game. Kind of. And it has a story about a band trying to bring rock’n’roll back in an electronic music world. Its an odd game and sometimes odd games are the best games. Is that true for No Straight Roads or does this game miss the beat? In No Straight Roads, you join a rock’n’roll band thats trying to survive in an electronic music world. The world literally is run…

In More Thoughts From Me #220, I wrote about Final Fantasy 15 for the Playstation 4 and how I wasn’t getting into the game very much. I had stopped playing it and I was unsure if I would go back to it. For a long while, I didn’t. And just this last weekend, I started playing it again and…I like it a lot now. What? Let’s talk about Final Fantasy 15! I really liked Final Fantasy 15 Pocket for the…

No Straight Roads for the Nintendo Switch is a rhythm game. Well, sort of. This is not your father’s rhythm game. Best of all? No Straight Roads wants to keep rock alive! Take that electronic music! No Straight Roads is a rhythm game. I mean, I guess it is. There are rhythm elements to the game. If you attack or dodge things right, you’ll do better. But after its tutorial, No Straight Roads doesn’t force you into a focused rhythm…

Over the weekend, I played some of the Marvel’s Avengers open beta on the Playstation 4. And now I have some thoughts about the game! Avengers! Assemble! I didn’t know what to expect from the Marvel’s Avengers open beta. Honestly I hadn’t been keeping track of the game. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Avengers characters but I wasn’t sure if this would be my type of game or not. So I started the beta and almost right away…
