The karting scene on Nintendo has been dominated by Mario Kart for as long as I can remember, despite valiant efforts by others such as Sonic Team Racing, and now, Nickelodeon Kart Racers! Understandably, it's hard to go up against a giant like Mario Kart and succeed, but with a lower price points, and loads of entertainment to be had, the offering from Nickelodeon comes close to being right up next to Mario Kart!

Once you have spent a few years gaming and have become comfortable with various systems and rigs, you may start wondering if it is time to build your own gaming computer. Perhaps you aren’t entirely satisfied with the computers you have been playing on recently or maybe, you are just looking for a challenge. Either way, it is important to know that this option is available for you. In fact, you will find that many gamers are now choosing to…

The day before Fornite…I mean…the day before Halloween! I may have mentioned it in another More Thoughts, I’ve written so many of these who knows, but Halloween is my favorite holiday. Not Christmas (I do love it), not Thanksgiving (ditto), not my birthday (a valid holiday). Halloween. Why? Well, yes, mostly because of the candy, though I love spooky stuff too. I’m having fun watching the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I enjoyed Splatoween, and I had a lot of fun…

Nintendo announced a Smash Bros Direct and a Treehouse Live for this Thursday. We have more details below and my thoughts on the two events. The Super Smash Bros Ultimate Direct will air on Thursday (11/1) at 10 a.m. ET and be 40 minutes long. After its over, a Treehouse Live will air and feature Smash Bros, Pokemon Lets Go!, Yoshi’s Crafted World, and Diablo 3. I can’t say I’m excited about a 40 minute long Direct just for Smash…

Despite the small screen size and clutter user interface, playing Civilization 6 on the iPhone was still a fantastic experience, which is forcing me to backtrack comments I made via twitter about the game. We all know how fantastic the Civilization franchise is, and it's been a staple on the PC for over a decade. Now with the franchise available on iPhone and iPad, consoles, and the PC, there literally is no excuse for anyone to not give the game a try.

Thanks to our good friends at The LEGO Group, we had the opportunity to build and review LEGO set #60194, the Arctic Scout Truck. At roughly 59.99 USD, this set doesn't meet our 10 cents / piece threshold that deems a LEGO set a good value, but offers up enough unique pieces that make it a worthwhile purchase anyway. Let's dive in and see how this set goes together!

Gaming has always been ripe for exploration when it comes to other forms of media. From the amazing Riddick games from Starbreeze to the critically and commercially panned Superman 64 from now-defunct studio Titus Interactive, adaptions here have run the gambit of both time and quality. In the modern age, however, we are noticing a definite trend of reality television shows increasingly being adapted into mobile games. So why is this happening, and is this a trend we expect to…

Syberia 3 is an adventure game in the vain of King’s Quest or more recently, Thimbleweed, but without the humor and a ton more puzzles to solve. The game recently came to the Nintendo Switch and I received a review code for it. Is Syberia 3 a good game or should you skip this adventure? Before you start Syberia 3, make sure you watch ‘the previously on Syberia’ video. Syberia 3 does not introduce Kate Walker and throws you right…
