Nintendo at E3 2018 was a blast! We went back to visit my colleagues as the Nintendo Booth of E3 again this year. We had a lovely exchange and then Julie took me up to play the upcoming Nintendo Switch titles. Thank again to Nintendo of Canada for setting us up with this fantastic opportunity, as well as Julie for the fantastic tour once again!

Only a few times in any generation of consoles do we get a title like Yoku's Island Express, a game full of charm, but coupled with fantastic unique gameplay that makes you realize you are playing something truly special. One part Metroidvania and one part pinball, Yoku's Island Express balances both ideas perfectly. Team 17 has created and published something truly special, and they deserve a ton of praise for it!

A few months ago, the good people at Beyerdynamic sent us a box full of headsets, both those for casual listening and those for gaming. One of those sets within the box was the Aventho Wireless, an expensive but highly featured headset that provides quality Bluetooth audio from your device to your ears. While I wasn't a fan of the tiny ear cups, the sound was superb. Let's dive in.

Mobile gaming is becoming increasingly popular, and almost anyone know can have access to games within seconds by pulling out their phone or tablet and loading up their favourite application. It’s not that crazy to think that the majority of gamers in 10 years or so will be doing it on tiny screens, and for only a few moments at a time. Whether you are playing the latest match 3 puzzle types, or simply trying to do a review of…

The Incredibles 2 hits theatres this weekend across North America, and to celebrate the movie launch - and the pending launch of The Incredibles LEGO video game - The LEGO Group sent over Elastigirl's Rooftop Pursuit for us to review on GamesReviews.com. I've never been a huge LEGO Juniors fan, but ever since my son has become old enough to start putting sets together himself, I've purchased more and more of these sets for his collection. Is Elastigirl's Rooftop Pursuit worth spending your money on if you have younger kids in the home? Let's dive in and take ...

Warner Bros did not disappoint at E3 2018! I didn’t realize it until my booth tour was over with WB, but villainy was definitely the theme. I only played two titles, but I was a Hitman in one and a DC villain aiding the Joker in a prison escape in the others. I am now realizing how infrequently play villains, and I have say, I loved it. Another delightful surprise, both of these games will release before the end of the year, so players will get a chance to try on the feeling of being wicked in not too long.

We also got more news about the new Octopath Traveler demo! Octopath Traveler will be coming the Nintendo Switch on July 13th. The game is currently available for pre-purchase on the eshop! Treehouse Live today showed off some more footage…

After a strong first year which saw the Nintendo Switch get great support from many third party developers, E3 2018 seems to be signing a very different tune for the remainder of the year, and into 2019. While many games are coming to the system - and a good amount of 3rd party support as well - some of it is not coming soon enough, and some is not coming at all. Nintendo has a successful console on their hands with the Nintendo Switch, there is no doubt about that. But can it survive on it's own franchises unlike its predecessor, the Wii U?

Cyberpunk 20177 is here folks, and the hype begins! While you might best no the team from CD PROJEKT RED because of their work on the Witcher series - including the Witcher 3 which might be one of the best games of this generation! - the team has closed the door for the time being on a large open world Witcher title, and have instead set their sights on a new adventure. While still an action RPG open world experience, Cyberpunk 2077 will be much different in terms of environment, characters, and story, but perhaps could take some of the same mechanics that ...
