Switch Reviews

In recent times, PDP has solidified its position as a manufacturer of quality gaming accessories. Perhaps most notably among these is their line of controllers for the Nintendo Switch. While the Switch is undeniably a great console, many adult users (including myself) have a difficult time with the smaller JoyCon controls. This is completely reasonable, however, as they are intended to be used by kids as well. It does create a need, however, for larger and more standardized controllers for the comfort of adult Nintendo Switch gamers. PDP has risen to meet ...

It's 2051. Earth is all but dead, an almost uninhabitable polluted mess of smog and tar. Remotely control space blasters from a dying Earth. Fight in epic space battles against all kinds of weird alien spacecraft. Rescue cute 'blastronauts' from alien capture. Wipe-out the alien forces and take-over their planet to give humanity a new home. Time is running out. Do you have what it takes to become the ultimate space blaster pilot and the saviour of the human race? That’s the story behind Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo (SMSBST).

The Farming Simulator genre has been around for a long while, and it should be noted right off the top – not everybody is going to enjoy farming simulation games. If you don’t have an appreciation for farming, or have an affinity for these types of games, you likely aren’t going to instantly love this. If you do love these things, Farming Simulator 20 is a good (not great) title on the Nintendo Switch. Whether plowing, cultivating, planting, fertilizing, or…

As huge Disney fans, my family has been collecting Disney Tsum Tsum figures for years, both the hard plastic variety and the plush toys. Finding those rare Tsum Tsums at Walt Disney World, or aboard Disney Cruise Line, is always a fun experience, and growing our collection has always been a family affair. When it was announced that Bandai Namco was working with Disney to release a party game around the loveable collectables, I was on board right away. For…

What do you get when you mix Just Dance and a fitness game? Zumba, that’s what, and while this video game didn’t create the dancing working out craze, it definitely has taken it to a wider audience. Over the past decade or so, Zumba has become increasingly more popular at fitness studios around the world, and has even had a few successes on console. While few and far between, the games have slowly gotten better over the years. So does…

Finally, the first traditional Pokémon game has arrived on the Switch! While Pokémon Let’s Go was a huge hit, lacking the bread-and-butter mechanics that we have all come to know and love really left me counting down the days until Sword and Shield were released. Even though there was a lot of mixed feelings and the hype train felt a lot more like a rollercoaster as fans dissected each new piece of information as it became available – we now have the entire game to chew through and decide if this is truly the next step forward in the Pokémon franchise or if ...

A few months ago, Nintendo invited us to Toronto, Ontario to experience the Nintendo Switch Lite for the very first time. While our time with the device then was pretty short – we had about an hour or so to play a few upcoming Nintendo Switch titles – we did get to pump out a few early impressions, which I’ve copied below. Who’s Buying the Nintendo Switch Lite? Our first take from that preview was, “Who is buying a Nintendo…

The wireless Pro Controller from Nintendo is one of the best controllers available on the market, not only for the Nintendo Switch, but across all current generation systems. With the HD rumble and gyro controls, there really isn’t a controller like it. Unfortunately, all of that functionality comes with a heavy price tag, to a resounding 89.99 CAD in Canada. While not releasing a cheaper alternative, Nintendo has partnered with PowerA to release a set of Enhanced Wireless controllers, with…

Simulation titles, for the most part, are really hit and miss on their execution. Bus simulator and Airline simulator are two big misses for me, while Farming Simulator is probably one of the best in the genre. Construction simulator had a ton of potential to be outstanding, as it skews more towards farming simulator, as opposed to bus or airline simulator. And for the most part, I think Construction Simulator 2 hits more positives than negatives! The game begins pretty…

My initial thoughts of Forager were mixed, and that was before I ever got my hands on it. It looked interesting, but at the same time, it looked…basic. But when my Nintendo Switch review version came in the mail, and I had to review it, I realized that you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, or say, a game by its trailer. So what is Forager? Simply put, it’s a pixelated version of any survival / farming simulation…
