When it was announced that a show was being created around The Last of Us, I was less than excited. In fact, I was completely indifferent. I thought it was just because I wasn't interested in the subject matter, but I also had to be honest with myself - I didn't know what hte subject matter was, because I had never played the game. When PlayStation Canada sent over a copy of the game for me to stream on my YouTube channel, my desire to watch went from non-existent to overwhelmingly excited. Is this plaguing you as well?

I've been playing Hokko Life for a few weeks now, and have been enjoying it. Well, at least I've been enjoying it for the most part. In a time when farming and village simulation games seem to be a dime-a-dozen, you really need to make sure you have a great product, with as few issues as possible. With Hokko Life, the premise is definitely here, but there are a few things that are drawing me out of the experience. If it wasn't for having a YouTube channel, would I keep going with this?

It's been well over a year since LEGO Super Mario first launched, and again, I must admit my error when I said the franchise would be a total flop based on the chunky characters you play with. LEGO Super Mario has been a massive hit, and the third playable character has finally launched, Princess Peach.

If there is one thing we enjoy at the Roffel house it's the Christmas season. Friends and family visiting, stockings, and of course, the tree. We always put up two trees each year - one 'adult' tree with beautiful ornaments and an obvious theme, and one 'kids' tree, which is just a mishmash of gifted ornaments and other cool little trinkets. We've always wanted to get a Christmas train to run around the base of the kids tree, but the plastic ones you find at the story were always to cheaply made and would break easily. Then we saw the winter train from Brio, ...

Over the past few years, GamesReviews has had the pleasure of reviewing a number of different toys from a number of different companies. One stands out much higher than the rest - Gravitrax. Having kids was great because I was able to relive some of the great toys and concepts from my childhood. One of those toys was the marble track - the ones I had as a kid were pretty basic, with large coloured tracks stacking together to make a neat, although sometimes boring creation. While Gravitrax keeps the spirit of the marble track alive, it does so in stunning fashion.

A few weeks ago I was over at my sister's house and saw her kids playing with the Yoto player. After a few questions, I realized that it was basically a device that could play books to your kids, but without the temptations of a screen. Cool, I thought. Fast forward a few weeks and my own Yoto player dropped on my doorstep. Is this device all it's cracked up to be? Let's take a look!
