Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water - Megaquarium's Freshwater Frenzy DLC is ready to take a serious bite out of your free time! Released in Fall 2018, Megaquarium is a wonderfully delightful sim/management game where the player builds their dream aquarium, while managing their food, staff, water quality and fish compatibility needs. While the base game focuses only on saltwater marine life, fans of river fish will be delighted to hear that freshwater frenzy (unsurprisingly) features an entire array of freshwater fish and habitats!

Check out the video below and then please come back here for some thoughts on next months update! Animal Crossing New Horizons will get another free update on July 3rd. The update will bring with it swimming and diving. Pascal also returns and…Gulliver is a pirate? Here are my…

A few months ago, I chose to back Summer in Mara on the Nintendo Switch, via Indigogo in Canada. The game promised a farming simulation experience that weaved in quests, story, and more. As a huge fan of Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons, I was excited to give this game a shot. While I wouldn't really use those two games to compare to this, I would use on other title - Rune Factory. But does Summer in Mara live up to my pre-backing expectations?

Summer in Mara is an adventure simulation indie game for the Nintendo Switch (also PC, and later, Xbox One and PlayStation 4). It wants to be Harvest Moon with a mix of Wind Waker and its own unique story. The question is…does it succeed? Is Summer in Mara a good game? Let’s find out in this review of Summer in Mara for the Nintendo Switch! Summer in Mara wants to be a great game. Its graphics and game play have…

Summer in Mara is an upcoming adventure simulation game that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, STEAM, Xbox One, and PS4. At first glance, it may just look like a simulation game with some Wind Waker elements, but Summer in Mara has an actual story and its looks pretty neat. Here is the trailer for the Summer in Mara’s story! Summer in Mara looks amazing. The game looks like a combination of Harvest Moon and The Wind Waker. Thats…

Turmoil, an oil baron simulator, has been out on PC for several years now, but it just made the leap to the Switch.  It’s a fun, if somewhat shallow, game that wouldn’t really make sense on other consoles.  In Turmoil, you compete with three other AI characters to extract oil from various plots of land, earning money to be spent at an auction on shares that will determine the next mayor of the town. The game consists of two phases,…

After launching for the PC all the way back in 2016, oil-tycoon simulator Turmoil is now available for the Nintendo Switch.  The simulation game comes with it’s previously released DLC pack, The Heat Is On, which gives players access to new maps and mechanics.  Turmoil will have you bidding for land, and extracting oil from the earth below.  Success comes in the form of growing your town, outbidding others for more land, bribing authorities, and expanding your empire. On the…

I love Animal Crossing New Horizons. I think its the best Animal Crossing game yet. You can check out my review of the game here. And yet…the holidays in this game suck so far. Let’s talk about them and what I hope to see in the future. In Animal Crossing City Folk and New Leaf, Bunny Day was a holiday where you dug up (or in the case of New Leaf: dug up, fished up, shot down, etc) easter eggs…

Stranded Deep, originally released in Early Access on PC in 2015, has brought its island-hopping survival experience to consoles. It’s an addictive and enjoyable experience, but one that still feels several steps away from greatness. The game, like many others in the genre, drops you on a deserted island and requires you to craft, explore, and survive, while hopefully advancing the barebones plot. That plot is essentially that you’ve survived a plane crash over a series of equidistant islands, and…

If you haven’t checked out the May Day event in Animal Crossing New Horizons yet, do not read this article. I’m warning you! This article will go into what the May Day event is and what I thought of it. When I started Animal Crossing New Horizons today, Isabelle told me about May Day and that I should come to resident services to talk to Tom Nook about it. As soon as I could, I went there and talked to…
