There have been a lot of great gaming rivalries over the years. Sonic Vs. Mario. Spyro Vs. Crash Bandicoot. However, it could be argued that no rivalry has been quite as storied as FIFA Vs. PES. Up until a few years ago, it seemed that FIFA had concluded the rivalry with an easy victory. But, in recent times, Konami has come back with a vengeance, sporting a soccer title that aims to take the crown away from EA.

If anything can be learned from the year of 2016, it is that fan hype can destroy something that, when released, is still very good. The initial thought here would be No Man’s Sky. A quiet development team and so much fan hype ultimately led to mediocre scores for the anticipated titles. I feel the same way right now about Nintendo and the NX. We are only 8 months away from the launch of the Nintendo NX – if Nintendo’s…

The gaming industry is one of the world’s largest and most powerful. And it has grown in stature over the past ten years. And we have seen many different forms of gaming that have evolved and adapted. These days mobile gaming is hugely popular among young people, and Pokémon Go has really brought this to the forefront.

In July, the 3DS sold more units than the Playstation 4 or the Xbox One in North America. Many have been trying to say that Pokemon Go had something to do with that. I suppose it may have had a little bit to do with it, but the truth is, that the 3DS has been doing a lot better than the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One for a long time now. The 3DS has more games than either system…

Off and on I’ve heard of a game called Gurumin coming to the 3DS, but I didn’t know what the game was. I think I might have seen some early footage of the game too. Still, the game didn’t stick in my mind. Then, Nintendo posted a trailer for the game today. Wow. I was blown away! We have the trailer below and my thoughts on the game. Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure will be coming soon to the 3DS.…

I’m a huge fan of Epic Mickey. When the game was released on the Wii, I thought it was one of the coolest Disney games ever. Warren Spector, previously developer on Deus Ex, loves Disney and you can tell just by playing Epic Mickey. He and his company, Junction Point, developed a sequel to Epic Mickey and then Disney shut the developer down. Spector has always talked about how he would have loved to have done a Ducktales game, but…

Nintendo didn’t reveal a lot of new games at E3, but one of the things they did do was help to reveal a couple of new indie games for the Wii U. Jotun: Valhalla Edition was one of those games. And today, a release date was given for the Wii U version and versions for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One too! Jotun: Valhalla Edition will be coming to the Wii U on September 8th. It will come to the…

I've really been enjoying the Loot Gaming Crate, and this month featured some of my favorite franchises, including Assassins Creed, Dead Island, Far Cry, and more!

Check below our unboxing video to see a full written review with high resolution photos!

Gamescom has started in Germany and while not a lot of news comes out of the convention (its not E3), there are occasionally some cool things that appear out of the event! One such cool thing is a new trailer of the upcoming indie game Yooka-Layee. The game is being made by Playtonic Games, a company made up of former Rare (Donkey Kong Country 1-3 for SNES) employees. We won’t be seeing the game till next year, but this new…
