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…

Read MoreHave a Monstrously Fun Time: Gurumin 3D – A Monstrous Adventure Trailer
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.

Read MoreWhat Could’ve Been: Epic Donald Was In Development/Never Made
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…

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…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #30: Nintendo Fan Projects Should Die
Nintendo has been taking a lot of heat lately. First, they took a fan remake of the second Metroid off-line. Then, they got rid of the Nintendo Power online archive, and just recently they ordered a Pokemon fan game to be taken down. Fans seem to be very upset with Nintendo. Most Nintendo fan sites are siding with the fans and saying that Nintendo should stop taking these projects down. I’m going to take a controversial stand and say that…
Read MoreSo Just How Disappointing Is No Man’s Sky?
No Man’s Sky has been the subject of a lot of hype; the indie darling of the last three years in the gaming world. I know it’s not very original to start any article about No Man’s Sky in this way, but it’s important to remember this. We are, after all, finally able to play the thing for ourselves. And now that it’s out, the waiting for No Man’s Sky in and of itself is no longer the hot to

As I work through countless hours of No Man's Sky, jotting down various thoughts as I go, I've started to think about how I'm going to write my review. Am I going to score it low because of hype Hello Games didn't create?
