Miitomo is a hit, and know one should be surprised. While I continue to have my reservations about how long it will continue to be relevant without some significant changes, it appears as if people are happy with it for now. They are really happy, in fact. Today, Nintendo released some data on Miitomo's success since launch. With over 4 million active monthly users, the game is generating 40,000 dollars per day. The average user is playing for 8 minutes per day.

Rumors are rampant lately surrounding the Nintendo NX. We haven't commented on them, and don't plan to comment on them. However, we can comment on what Nintendo does next and what they will need to do to re-introduce themselves as a main stream gaming platform for everyone. Yes, Nintendo is friendly to everyone, but it does not cater to everyone. To find substantial success, it will need to do this.

Nintendo is having another games blowout for both Wii U and 3DS via the Nintendo eShop. It appears as if this Spring Sale will be live until April 21st at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Nearly 100 games will be on sale, including mega hits like Mario Kart 8, and indie hit SteamWorld Dig from Image and Form.

Fallout 4 is a fantastic game, one that has gotten a lot of play time at Games Reviews. With the latest DLC pack, we have been dumping even more time in this wasteland, building our bases, upgrading our equipment, and lately, destroying crazed robots! Fallout 4 is one of those games that the initial investment of 79.99 - in Canada - is really worth it as they amount of time played will easily exceed 100 hours. We are on hour 143.

Adam Venture's Origins might not look the best, and may have some issues that make it a bit rough around the edges, but it does an excellent job of mixing adventure and puzzles in a title that is sure to impress. If you have longed for a puzzle game on Xbox One, and can't seem to find the desire to work through some of what Telltale is offering, I strongly recommend Adam Venture's Origins.

He's at it again! @OMGitsJezy takes a look at the LucidSounds LS30 headset for Xbox One and PS4. This is one elegant looking headset, and it's one thing that Jezy has been noting on twitter and via his videos. This is a headset where there are no extra frills and flashes. It is just 100% quality hardware.

Telltale is at it again with another episodic title hitting PC and consoles this summer. Telltale will give their representation of "7 Days to Die," and if it is like any of their other projects, it will be fantastic!

Mini Mario and Friends is a new entry in the Mario & Donkey Kong puzzle franchise. It plays similar to previous entries in the series, but this time you’ll need an amiibo if you want to play the game. I got a copy of this game thanks to a friend! Here are my first impressions of Mini Mario and Friends.

Screens have surfaced showing off main Quantum Break character Jack Joyce sporting an eye patch with a skull and crossbones. First impressions by some have been that someone has found a way to create mods for Quantum Break, but the real situation is both funny and incredibly informative. The developers themselves have added this nifty touch to their game to highlight individuals who have pirated the game. This should make for some interesting comments on some people's Twitch or YouTube streams.

If you have been a long time Xbox fan you've probably had the chance to play at least one of the many Gears of War games. They are really divisive: either you love them or you hate them. However, the overall success of the franchise has been really great, which means we will be getting more Gears of War...in the near future! With the re-release of Gears of War, Microsoft ushered in the age of Gears on Xbox One. This October we get to see what next step the developers will be taking.
