The best part about reviewing a game later than other outlets is too see what the chatter is around a specific title, and being able to feed off of that. In general, the majority of outlets are on the same page when it comes to titles, the things they do well, and the things they do poorly. After spending a significant amount of time with the title on Xbox One X, I jumped online to see what the reaction was within the media circle. I was shocked. I was seeing scores of 5 and 6 out of 10, and was flabbergasted on how that was possible. So, I returned to Super ...

Zoo Tycoon was a release title when the Xbox One first launched, and people were really excited to get the beloved PC Tycoon title on their consoles and big screens. Unfortunately, a number of major issues held that original title back, like huge limits on how much people could put in their parks, extremely long load times, and a myriad of technical issues and graphical hiccups. It was a fun, but majorly flawed experience. With the Xbox One X, Microsoft is taking another stab at Zoo Tycoon with the Ultimate Animal Collection. Does the extra power and speed in ...

Having kids in the house for the majority of the day means our Xbox One X coverage has to be pretty selective when they are around. Yesterday, the focus was on Disneyland Adventures enhanced in 4K on the Xbox One X; today, we are looking at another Disney property, Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure. While both games are similar in their scope and audience, they do enough things differently, and have enough variety in franchises, to make them feel distinctly different. With both enhanced in 4K, they are both a no-brainer purchase for that young Disney fan in the ...

With the Xbox One X rolling out to retailers and consumers tomorrow, Microsoft has done double duty in making sure a good number of review consoles have hit the market, with games that have already received updating to support 4K and HDR. One of those titles, Disneyland Adventures, doesn't seem like the type of game that reviewers would want to use to show of their Xbox One X, but I understand the reasoning: it's a kids game, and Microsoft wants to make sure that every parent knows that getting an Xbox One X isn't just for them.

Thor: Ragnarok is coming to theaters this Friday. Also coming this month is Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2! So, of course, the Lego people would want to have some kind of Thor crossover in their game right? RIGHT! Check out the new Lego Marvel 2 trailer below and then please come back for my impressions of it.

What if there were no people in the world? What if the world was made of talking boxes? And what if those boxes sent off some newbie box to stop some crazy boxes that were running amok? This is the premise of a game called Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure and its for the Nintendo Switch! Is this a good game, an alright game, or should it be boxed up and put outside with the trash? The story for Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure…

Every Nintendo Generation as of late has had an epic Super Mario adventure - 2 on the Wii! - so when Nintendo announces a Mario title, you assume it's the only one you'll get in the generation. Super Mario 64 on Nintendo 64, Super Mario Sunshine on GameCube, a pair of Super Mario Galaxy titles on Wii, Super Mario 3D World on Wii U, and now the pinnacle of them all: Super Mario Odyssey on Nintendo Switch. Odyssey spans the history of the whole series, from the 80s to today. And it is so, so good!

One of the more brilliant additions to the two newer Disney Cruise Line ships - The Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy - is the inclusion of Mickey's Midship Detective Agency, named properly because it can be found on Deck 5 and Deck 2, midship. Mickey's Detective Agency will allow young and old alike to solve a number of onboard crimes by utilizing clues hidden within paintings around the ship. Regardless of your age, taking part in this adventure is a must do - especially during rainy days - and is also a great way for new cruisers to learn the layout of ...

All of yoru favorite Animal Crossing characters look to make an appearance here, and outside of the free-to-play element, it looks very much like an Animal Crossing game. Check ...

There has been rumors of Lego Dimensions being canceled for awhile. It turns out those rumors are true. Lego Dimensions is ending and there will be no new figures made from here on out. We have WB/TT’s official statement below and my thoughts on the announcement. I was hoping that the rumors of Lego Dimensions ending/cancelation were not true. I haven’t been able to collect a lot of the figures for this game, but I was hoping that there was…
