Summer Game Fest, the Geoff Keighley pre-E3 event, happened today. I watched it all and now I have some thoughts on it. I thought that Summer Game Fest would never end. The Geoff Keighley event lasted a long time and after that was an indie game focused Day of the Devs event. Let’s talk about the main Summer Game Fest event first. Geoff Keighley is the host of the Game of Awards an also the host of Summer Game Fest.…

Its E3 weeeek! Well E3 technically starts later this week but its sooon. And so begins my final craZy E3 predictions column.

Though it officially starts on Saturday, there will be announcements throughout the week. You can bet on it. And Summer Game Fest is on Thursday! Whew. But before everything gets too crazy, lets get craZy and…

Nintendo of America announced their E3 plans today! Let’s take a look and talk about it some. Nintendo will have an E3 Direct on June 15th at 11:00am central time. Following that they will have a Nintendo Treehouse Live. The Direct will be about 40 minutes long, focused on games ” mostly releasing in 2021″. and the Treehouse will last for about three hours! Whew. 40 minutes for a Nintendo Direct is pretty long. You have to especially consider how…

So I predict NOTHING. The end Whew. Easy column to write… …. Okay. Okay. Here are some really CraZy predictions for Sony: There will be a surprise E3 State of Play. Sony will announce it sometime next week. It’ll be on Friday. They will start off…

A demo of Scarlet Nexus was released for the PS4 today. I didn’t know a whole lot about the game but it looked interesting so I decided to check it out. What do I think of the Scarlet Nexus demo? Is this a game you should check out? Here are my thoughts on the Playstation 4 demo of Scarlet Nexus! Scarlet Nexus is set in a future full of weird, sometimes giant, creatures and people with powers such as Telekinesis…

We still have a few weeks to go but I figured, hey, why not start my crazy E3 predictions!? Today I’ll throw out some never-will-this-happen Nintendo E3 predictions, next week will be Sony, and right before E3 I’ll talk about Microsoft and third parties. Let’s a goooooo! Nintendo has not officially announced their E3 plans yet (unless they do and I have to rewrite this). So I am going to guess their plans… On the Thursday or Friday before E3…

Last night, Square Enix had a Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary stream. I watched it on youtube and I was blown away, especially by one of the surprise announcements! I can’t stop thinking about it. And so now its time to talk about all the games that were shown off last night. It is the Dragon Quest series 35th anniversary this year and Square Enix celebrated it in style last night. They held a special stream on youtube that talked about…

Miitopia was, and technically still is, on the Nintendo 3DS. We reviewed it on that system, plus you can find review-in-progress articles here. But what do we think of the Switch version? Is it the game worth picking up again or for the first time on Switch? Here is our review of Miitopia on the Nintendo Switch!

The solution is perhaps obvious in hindsight. Why not let players create their own weird playable hamster thing? Well, Biomutant has that locked down. Yes, the world has fallen apart. Yes, the remains of ancient civilisations litter the landscape. It’s a rough life, filled…

Miitopia started its life as a 3DS game. We reviewed that and liked it a lot. We also really enjoyed the Nintendo Switch demo! Now the full Miitopia game is out for the Switch and we have received a review copy of that version too. How is it so far? Is it really different from the 3DS one? For those who don’t know what Miitopia is, here is what I said in my review of the 3DS version: “An evil…
