Nintendo and Adam Roffel sent me on a trip to Torna, the Golden Country, recently. Here are some of the short letters that I wrote to my twitter friends while I was there. Hey Adam Roffel, Thanks for setting up this trip to Torna. I haven’t had a vacation in forever. Please tell Nintendo I said thanks too. So far, things are pretty interesting here. I met a young woman named Lora and her blade Jin. They saved me from…

SteelSeries, global leader in gaming peripherals, recently announced the release of their latest limited edition peripherals that were featured at the FACEIT Major in London.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 of my Torna – The Golden Country review-in-progress are already up. In part 4, I will talk about the game’s graphics. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is wonderful looking but I think Torna looks better! The characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have always had a unique cel-shaded look to them, but Torna takes it to the next level. In cutscenes, especially, the characters in this game look animated movie quality good with more realistic expressions and better…

Jack and Jill went up a hill…and ended up in a video game. Indie game Jack N’ Jill DX came to the Nintendo Switch eshop recently. I received a review code for the game and checked it out. Is Jack N’Jill DX any good? Jack N’ Jill DX is a runner. You do not control the movement of your character. At the beginning of the level, you press A and the character runs. After that, all you can do is…

Thanks to our good friends at Xbox Canada, we were able to take a look at NBA 2K19 on the Xbox One X, and although it had been a few years since we had played a basketball video game - outside of arcade releases - and were pleasantly surprised with how far the genre has come. But is NBA 2K19 worth your time? Let's dive in!

Today marks the beginning of October, and thus the beginning of the Halloween season. While places like Disney World have been living the Halloween dream for a few months now, you know the holiday is quickly approaching when LEGO launches their yearly themed sets. With the success of BrickHeadz over the last number of months, it comes at no surprise that they have released a few Halloween themed sets to get people in the mood! As more of a collectors display item than an actual playable toy, the LEGO Halloween Witch looks great amongst our home Halloween decor!

As we move onto Chapter 4 of our review, we've only had glowing things to say about Dragon Quest 11. The voice acting is fantastic, the environments beautiful, and the story-to-date has been top notch. I was wondering if GamesReviews would be handing out another elusive 10/10 score to this title, but after about 25 hours of gameplay I'm realizing one major flaw.
