TemTem is a game where you catch and fight creatures and fight other tamers. Wait. Isn’t that Pokémon? Yes, but TemTem has online multiplayer too. Is that enough to make TemTem more than just a copycat of Pokémon? Here is our review of TemTem for the Nintendo Switch! TemTem is an indie game that looks and plays a lot like Pokémon. In fact, you get creatures just like Pokémon, run into tamers who want to fight you, encounter wild Pokem…er…TemTem…

My wife and I have played through almost all of the Unlock! experiences, whether they be random mysteries or those themed around Star Wars. We really enjoy playing them, but doing so does leave out the younger members of the family. With Unlock! Kids, we can have a similar unlock experience but one that we can enjoy with our 8 year old, Lochlan. So how does Unlock! Kid hold up against the original? Let's take a look.

Nintendo has announced a new Direct for 9/13/22. Hey, wait…thats tomorrow! Check out the info below and our thoughts on the Nintendo Direct. A new Nintendo Direct has been announced for tomorrow (9/13). It will be roughly 40 minutes of information and focus on games coming this winter! First of all…40 minutes?! WOW! The way that Nintendo presents games lately, really fast, means that we can expect a ton of games in this Direct. Of course, not all of them…

With a bevy of Assassin’s Creed announcements last night, it looks like the future might be bright for Assassin’s Creed. The hit franchise, which first appeared in the PS3/Xbox 360 era, has long been a staple for AAA gamers since the original following Altair. An update to the formula with Assassin’s Creed Origins meant it stayed relevant after fatigue for the franchise had begun to set in. But five years of giant RPGs has started to have their toll, mixed…

The verdict is in, and people love Disney Dreamlight Valley. Add me to that list, although my experience on Nintendo Switch has been less than ideal. Issues on the Nintendo Switch seem to be lumped into two categories - those that seem to be impacting everyone, and those that seem to impact only a few people. Still, even with the issues, it is a game I just can't seem to put down as I work to welcome all my Disney friends to the Valley!

Simple roll-and-write games, flip-and-write games, etc. are a dime a dozen it seems. Some are really good, others are really bad, and most hover in that middle category of just being OK. The popularity of these games is due to how inexpensive they are to produce, and therefore, purchase. When we got our hands on Explorers, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. After playing it multiple times over the past few weeks, I'm glad it is in my collection.

Disney Dreamlight Valley came out today and…well, you know how I’m addicted to Ooblets, I’m now addicted to Disney Dreamlight Valley too! Here are my first impressions of Disney Dreamlight Valley via gamepass. Disney Dreamlight Valley is now available for Xbox gamepass! And I’ve played it! So how is this game so far? Well, I played for almost 2 hours and I didn’t want to stop. I made myself stop for awhile. I am going to go back and play…

Tchia was first unveiled back in 2021 and was originally planned for 2022 but as things go nowadays it’s pushed to spring of next year. In Tchia you play as Tchia on her own journey to rescue her father from the cruel tyrant, Meavora. The game gives off strong Wind Waker vibes visually, and has alot of mechanics that should seem familiar to fans of The Legend of Zelda series. You can climb and glide like Breath of the Wild,…

Throughout the renovations happening in my house, the one constant for my 3 year old son Lincoln has been the opportunity to review Playmobil sets! Today, we are taking a look at the Large Tractor set, number 71004. The large tractor is, well, large! It comes with two bails of hay, a number of tractor attachments, and a character to play with. We have other tractors that we purchased on our own a few years ago, so how does this one hold up against those? Let's take a look!
