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 ...

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…
Read MoreLego 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…
Read MoreRevisiting an Opinion: Are Next Generation Consoles Worth it Yet?
The Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 are excellent home consoles, both with their own various pros, and only a few major cons. When we reviewed them back in November 2020, GamesReviews came to a pretty solid conclusion on both - outstanding, at times mind boggling consoles that you really don't need just yet. After a few months, has my opinion changed? Not much, although the benefits of the newer consoles is more evident day after day.
Read MoreMore 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…
Read MoreIt’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."
Read MoreCrash Landing: The Long Wait for Crash 4
Crash Bandicoot: Warped came out in 1998. My constant dull back pain and need to grunt every time I sit down shows just how long ago that was. Crash 4 came out last September – a little close to the launch of the new-generation consoles for comfort. Our very own Kevin Austin gave it an 8.5 at the time, but we all knew the real version would come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. That port launched last week…
Read MoreSecret Lab Titan Stealth Gaming Chair Review
With a multitude of gaming chair companies scattered around the globe, it's often hard to decide which chair will be the best fit for you. For many, it comes down to the price you pay, but that doesn't always paint a clear picture on which is the best. For example, if you have to buy two sub-par chairs for 299.99 each over a 10 year period, but only one quality chair for 499.99 in that same span, the choice seems very obvious. Secret Lab is definitely on the higher end of the gaming chair price spectrum, but the quality components, fantastic seats, and so ...
Read MoreForza Horizon 4 is a Huge Success – Proving that Gamepass Works
More than 24 million people have played Forza Horizon 4, making it one of the most successful racing games of all time. And you didn’t have to pay a penny for it. Gamepass allowed you access to the game – day one – without paying a penny extra than your subscription. An overwhelming amount of people decided to do so anyway. Even at £54.99, it’s still in the top ten on Steam a week after launch. This proves without a…
