Cozy Grove is Limiting Fun…In a Good Way

It seems that anytime a video game launches in 2021, we are all eager to blow through it as fast as possible. Hell, folks are taking days of work to play their favourite video games for hours on end, to drink up every moment of the story, find every collectible, and more. Unless you plan on fast traveling, Cozy Grove has taken on the Animal Crossing  philosophy that 30 minutes to an hour of gameplay is all that is really necessary per day, keeping you invested in the game for longer periods of time without burning you out within the first week. I've been ...

More Thoughts From Me #267: Another Tales

Another column, another PS Now game. This time I want to talk about Tales of Zestiria. In another column, I talked about a previous Tales of game called Tales of Vesperia which I enjoyed. What do I think of Tales of Zestiria? I think I like Tales of Zestiria more than Tales of Vesperia. Look, both of these games are good but so far Tales of Zestiria really has me hooked more than Vesperia. So whats so different about this…

Avengers Is Coming to PlayStation Now – And That’s Perfect

It’s no great surprise, but Avengers is finally making it to a subscription service. The Little Game That Should’ve But Couldn’t is finally going to find the home it deserves. That’s not an insult. We are in a period of transition – the old way of selling games is dying and a new one is upon us. Not only should Avengers have started its life on PlayStation Now and Xbox Game Pass, but it probably shouldn’t ever have been sold…

Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Delayed

Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga was delayed before and…now its been delayed again. Check out the statement from TT Games below and then please join us for some thoughts on the announcement. It is disappointing that Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga has been delayed again. That said, the world is a very different place right now. Its amazing that more games haven’t been delayed, it has happened so much with movies and television. We don’t know for sure…

More Thoughts From Me #266: Freaked Out About Catherine

When Catherine came out on the Nintendo Switch, I played the Japanese demo and had no idea what was going on but also found the game interesting. Flashforward: I’m playing Catherine on PS Now and I finally, mostly, know whats going on. What a bizarre, addictive game. Recently PS Now, the Playstation 4’s game streaming service, was on sale for $1 for one month. So of course I got the service again. I wish I could keep it but that…

Animal Crossing Fans! Keep An Eye Out For Cozy Grove

Cozy Grove will be coming out on April 8th for Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS. We talked about the game before but after reading a recent article by Gamasutra, we figured it was time to talk about the game again.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS5/XSX)

Crash Bandicoot 4 finally gets its next-gen port. It’s About Time? Yes, it is. That barmy bandicoot is back on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – but if you’ve waited this long, is it worth taking a plunge? That depends on how nostalgic you feel. Crash 4 is a throwback to a different time, and it pushes that idea often. It’s retro in almost every way that counts, including the difficulty. It’s a great game marred by occasional technical…

More Thoughts From Me #265: Closing Down the (Digital) Shop

This week we got rumors that the PS3/PSP/Vita digital stores will be shutting down this year. Usually I do not report or even talk about rumors. That said, the closing of those shops will happen sooner or later! What do I think of digital stores closing? Let’s dig into it. Its always tough when digital store fronts close down. We all know why this happens: digital stores take up server space for companies. They cost money to keep up and…

It’s Over for Natsume and Harvest Moon

Each morning after grabbing my cup of coffee, I look at the latest news and reviews in the video game industry before starting my actual work day. And today wasn't pretty for one company. While Story of Seasons received positive review after positive review, I couldn't help but notice the number of reviewers that said in some way, "If you are looking for a new farming adventure, definitely buy Story of Seasons." Read between the lines, and you might get, "If you are looking for a new farming adventure, don't buy Harvest Moon."
