Shadow Man: Remastering a Classic
Shadow Man Remastered brings back a cult classic – successfully reviving a game that fans have been demanding gets new life for years. I hope they’re happy with what they wished for. In some preliminary research for this game, I took a quick look at some of the original reviews, and was blown away by what I saw. I remember the case, of course. It looked cool and edgy, not unlike the Blade film I’d been too young to watch.…
Read MoreWelcome to Kraken Academy’s Demo
Kraken Academy isn’t a normal school. Sure there’s classes, clubs, a dorm room, a broccoli girl, and a giant kraken but other than that, its pretty different. And if you want to visit the school, you can try out the demo for Kraken Academy right now on the Nintendo Switch. I did and I live to tell the tale. Kraken Academy is coming to the Nintendo Switch on February 24th. There is a demo available now for the game and…
Read MoreHow To Jump Backwards in Shadow Man Remastered
Shadow Man is back, and with him the age old question of how to beat the game’s true boss: any ledge from which you have to jump backwards. I’m kidding of course. But it is something you eventually have to do, and it’s something that’s not especially well explained. And yes, if you go searching, it won’t take long to find people who complained about this issue in the original release of this game. The good news is that it’s…
Read MoreHeadland is a Pleasant, Colourful Adventure Title
Headland, and action adventure titles set in a fantasy world, is one of those titles that could easily get lost in the mess of the eShop, and while it's not perfect, I enjoyed my few hours with the game.
Read MoreAery – Dreamscape Review
Fly through people’s deepest desires as a bird. And, no, Aery – Dreamscape isn’t an adult game. Because it turns out everybody’s deepest desires are things like “be a pirate”, “visit the moon” or “get out in nature”. Not a single level begins with the phrase “hey, you know that girl from Friends?” Maybe that would have been a better game – its not for me to judge – but it would have been a different game. This one is…

Read MoreGreat Games, Cheap Prices – Island Farmer
Anytime I load up the Nintendo eShop the first place I stop off at is the Deals section. I'm always looking for good games at a good price, but like with the iOS and Google Play App Store, the eShop is FULL of shovelware titles with little to no playability. And it's really unfortunate. So when purchasing games for less than $5.00 Canadian, one must be careful what the purchase. Here is how I came to own Island Farmer.
Read MoreA Visit to Headland for Nintendo Switch
Are you looking for an action/adventure game for a kid? Headland is a new colorful indie game that might fit the bill! Let’s check out Headland for Nintendo Switch! Headland is about a boy who enters the world of imagination to help his toy robot friend.

Read MoreHow Many Units Could The Kirby and the Forgotten Land Sell?
Nintendo stealth dropped another trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and it's looking pretty dang sweet. Built on what we believe is the Super Mario Odyssey engine, the new Kirby is taking the franchise to new places, and is adding a few nice twists in to keep the gameplay accessible for all ages, most notably a central town area that you can explore, expand, and more. But with all the hype around this release, could it top the current best selling Kirby game at roughly 5.5 million units? We believe it could sell more.
