MX vs ATV Supercross Encore Review

More Thoughts From Me E3 Special Edition: Beautiful Xbox One Games

I just watched the Microsoft press conference. There was one thing that most of the games shared: they were beautiful. The Xbox One graphics were stunning. But what about the games themselves? Welcome to the first More Thoughts From Me special edition of this E3. Here are my thoughts on Microsoft’s E3 2016! I didn’t know what to expect from Microsoft this year. I’m not an Xbox fan right now and so I haven’t been keeping up with the news…

More Thoughts From Me #22: Crash & Burn

I’m not a realistic racing game fan. You can keep Forza and the rest. For me, the best racers are the unrealistic ones like Need For Speed, Mario Kart, and my all-time favorite: Burnout! Today, I want to talk about Burnout and why I think its so cool. I don’t drive in real life. I tried to learn, but I was terrible at it. Believe me when I say that we are all much safer with me not on the…

More Thoughts From Me #11: Thank you Nindies!

I’ve reviewed a lot of Indie games in my short time as a reviewer so far. Some are great, some good, just ok, and some are really awful. But the Wii U needs every single Indie it can get! Why are Indies important to the Wii U? Let me tell you about it.   When the Wii U first came out, there were not a lot of games for it, but there were some third party developers supporting the system.…

More Thoughts From Me #10: Video Games Don’t Need Stories

One of my early entries to this column said that every video game needed a story. Now I’m back to give you the opposite position: Video Games don’t need stories! Tetris, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, and many other games do not have stories. After my last article about video games needing stories, I had some people say, ” Ya, but this game doesn’t have one.” And its true. Not all video games need stories. In fact, I’ll just…

Skylanders amiibo A Sensational Idea

When Reggie and Activision announced at E3 2015 that Nintendo characters were coming to Skylanders, I was fairly skeptical, especially since it was also announced that these characters would also be amiibo compatible. Now that I have the figures in my hands - thanks to Activision who saved me a lot of money (more on that later) - I can say my skeptism was unfounded. While I wish the characters modeled an amiibo more than a Skylander, the final figures are still excellent little toys that are loads of fun to play with in Skylanders SuperChargers.
