I've been playing a ton of city building and monster fighting games lately, and they always find a special place in my heart. I freaking love them, and no matter what the background, I always generally have a good time playing them. So that's why I was so excited to see that Garden Story was launching today, as announced during the Nintendo Indie Showcase.

When I think about realistic simulation titles, it's usually some type of job. Very few people actually just farm because they like to do - most people are doing it as a job. But anyone of us that owns a home at some point will be pushing or driving a lawnmower around our back yard to cut the lawn, and while some may enjoy it, others hate it. So could a group of developers take a weekly chore and turn it into something fun? The folks behind Lawn Mowing Simulator seemed to manage.

So after a few days with Dustbiters, a fun quick card game from a wide range of talented individuals, I'm pretty sure I've found one of my favourite little go-to games for playing with my wife and kids. It's quick, easy to learn, and can be picked up at a moments notice and a game finished within 15 minutes. It's the ideal kind of game for the Roffel household. But is it for you?

There is nothing like downloading and playing a new LEGO title on Nintendo Switch, and Warner Bros. Games is delivering another experience this year, releasing LEGO Marvel Superheroes on Nintendo Switch on October 5th! 

A few weeks ago, my wife was coming off one of her shifts at Best Buy Canada and gave me a quick call on the phone. "You think the kids would like a programmable robot?" A few minutes later, I was unboxing the Sphero Mini, charging the device, and linking up various devices in our home to act as controllers for the robot.

It might be one location, but when Nintendo released the New Donk City course update for Mario Golf: Super Rush, I for one was shocked to get 36 unique holes of golf, 18 via an Amateur Course and 18 via a Pro Course. While the Amateur Course is a good place for fans to attempt numerous Holes-in-One, the Pro Course will test players in new ways that previous courses have not.

Lucid Audio products have always been some of the better products on the market, and like many headset manufacturers in 2021, they realize that gamers are looking for affordability and quality in one package. So many attempt at creating this balance and releasing a solid product into the marketplace, but so few achieve what they actually set out to do (or purposefully don't). Not with Lucid. After taking the LS10X for a spin for over a month, I'm happy to report that for 59.99 USD, you get an excellent, audio product.

How can you not want to play a card game that was introduce on Kickstarter by Tim Schafer? Ya, that's pretty rad, we thought so too. Dustbiters, the fast passed and quick game of rival car gangs is hitting the popular crowd funding platform, and you can join in the fun and get some limited Kickstarter merchandise with your pledge right now! But what is this game all about? Honestly, are we really going to purchase a game just because Tim Schafer did the promo video (yes, yes we are.)?
