When I think of ARMS, I think of a crazy, 1v1 bash-em-up fighting game. OK, not a typical fighting game, but one where the farmers have cool gadgets instead of hands, and long springy arms. If you like that kind of thing, than that picture of ARMS probably sells you on the title, even if you never took part in any of the tests that have been ongoing. I'm not that guy, and that aspect of ARMS doesn't interest me in the slightest, at least not at the moment. What does interest me, however, is the loads of other modes built into the game!

Tomorrow morning at 7 AM PDT, Nintendo will be hosting a Pokémon Direct to talk all things Pokémon. With E3 2017 just around the corner, it seems odd that Nintendo would be doing this now, but I expect a fairly big announcement tomorrow to hype people up for what Nintendo has at E3 – if what they were already going to show wasn’t enough!

With the launch of Wonder Women tomorrow in theatres, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is launching new Wonder Women content for DC Legends, the free-to-play mobile game that has taken the DC World by storm. Read on for more from Warner Bros.

Street Fighter games are not my forte, but I enjoy playing them with friends none-the-less. We have received many iterations of the Street Fighter franchise on all platforms over the last number of decades; I swear each game has been rebooted and re-released a dozen times or so. The Nintendo Switch port of Ultra Street Fighter II makes a bit more sense to me only because of how the Switch is meant to be played: on the go. Despite perhaps owning this multiple times over, having a Switch copy is actually pretty important for a hard-core Street Fighter fan, but ...

Captains Log. Stardate 485880028.1. There has never been a great Star Trek video game. There have been some fun ones, but for some reason, no one can ever get Star Trek games exactly right. This franchise has so much video game potential. I really need to talk to Starfleet about this. Oh wait. I think I’ll talk to my readers about my favorite Trek games and what Trek games I’d love to see instead! Yes, I’m a Trekkie. Or a…

I've spent a considerable amount of time building and maintaining a thriving base on the first world in Portal Knights. With the help of family - 2 brothers and a German exchange student to be precise - we have built houses, workshops, farms, and more to house our growing hoards, and to act as a base for all our operations. I've found one thing to be very true about these experiences: it is so relaxing. I never thought this type of game would cause me to relax and unwind, but this definitely has.

If you haven't heard yet, Microsoft announced Xbox Game Pass a few weeks ago, exclusively for Xbox Live Gold Members. For a very reasonable price - about the cost of a Netflix subscription - Xbox Gold owners can download and play 100 Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles on their Xbox One units. The obvious question is: are the games provided worth the investment? Well, after many hours using Game Pass, and playing a number of the games, we are ready to let you know what we think!

The LEGO Star Wars theme has remained one of LEGO's most important thanks to new movies and TV shows that keep all the characters - both past and present - at the forefront of young and old minds alike. It seems as if LEGO is launching new Star Wars sets on a weekly basis, and for the most part, they are fantastic sets to put together. Recently, I put together Yoda's Jedi Starfighter, which was a fairly challenging and rewarding build. Check out my full review below the set details!
