It should be obvious to you by now that I love video games. What might not be obvious, since I never write about it here, is that I’m also addicted to TV shows. I watch a lot of TV. Maybe too much TV. But there is currently one show that brings together my love of video games and my love of TV Shows! That show is called Halt and Catch Fire. I want to tell you about the show and…

Usually each month we do a few unboxing and reviews of various subscription boxes. Unfortunately, we never got around to that with 1 UP Box because so many of the items inside were taken before I ever got the chance to open up the box. Fortunately, with a quick tweet on Twitter, I was awaiting a backup package from 1 Up Box with the items I was missing. Since we are now at the end of September, it seems a…

Over the last month, I have become very invested in the Pokemon Trading Card Game, both the physical game and the online version which I play on my iPad. I’m having an outstanding time, and purchased a few of the Elite Trainer Boxes that released earlier this year. Value in the Box For 39.99 CAD, the price we paid at 401games.ca in Canada, you received a box that included, 8, ten card booster packs, with a code for a free…

This is the second month we have received the Loot Wear package from Loot Crate. Last months wearable were pretty awesome, so we expect more of the same from August’s Anti-Hero bag! For Her: Harley Quinn Setup If you are a fan of Harley Quinn, and if you enjoy mini skirts and socks, this months Loot Wear would have been perfect for you.

Can you spot the difference? Lightwood Games, the masters of word puzzle games, turns their attention to a different type of puzzle game. Splat the Difference for the 3DS is all about spotting the differences between a picture on the top screen and a picture on the bottom screen. Its a simple concept, but is it a simple game? Does Splat the Difference provide a moments distraction or is it something more?

Over the past few months, you might have realized that GamesReviews.com has been expanding outside of video games to cover other geek/nerd related content. We even have a few pending board game reviews coming down the pipeline! My six year old son has recently begun collecting and playing with Pokemon cards, so naturally I took all his online codes and used them in the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online. I’m hooked. I went out over the weekend and spent a…

Bam Box has been one of the better subscription box services, but I’ve always felt – and this has been echoed by others – that at some point, the company was going to get too big, too fast with all their signed prints and exclusive items. They haven’t reached that point yet; this months box did seem like the precursor to something not quite as good. Here is what we thought.     You can get your own BamBox at http://goo.gl/30jeSl!

I always look forward to a new Lightwood Game’s eshop release! The developer always creates quality games. When I heard they were creating a spot the difference 3DS game with download play included, I was very interested in it. Lightwood Games recently provided me with a review copy of this new game. It is called Splat the Difference. My review isn’t ready yet, but I thought I’d give you a preview of the game! How am I liking Splat the…

What happens when Supergirl meets E.T. ? If that question has ever crossed your mind (or even if it hasn’t), then you may want to check out today’s Lego Dimensions video: Will you add…

One of the biggest surprises out of the recent 3DS Nintendo Direct was that there would be some new streetpass games. I admit that after Nintendo did the initial batch of new games, I thought we’d never see anymore. So I was surprised that more were revealed and that they were coming out the day of the Direct! And you could get one of the games free too. I have two 3DS systems, so I was able to pick up…
