So yeah, its tough for me to say anything negative about the game or the series (though I have. The eggs! THE EGGS). But today, I do have at least one negative thing to say. And some positive stuff too! Let’s…

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water - Megaquarium's Freshwater Frenzy DLC is ready to take a serious bite out of your free time! Released in Fall 2018, Megaquarium is a wonderfully delightful sim/management game where the player builds their dream aquarium, while managing their food, staff, water quality and fish compatibility needs.

Read MoreSummer in Mara First Impressions
A few months ago, I chose to back Summer in Mara on the Nintendo Switch, via Indigogo in Canada. The game promised a farming simulation experience that weaved in quests, story, and more. As a huge fan of Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons, I was excited to give this game a shot. While I wouldn't really use those two games to compare to this, I would use on other title - Rune Factory. But does Summer in Mara live up to my pre-backing expectations?

Read MoreTurmoil Impressions (Nintendo Switch)
Turmoil, an oil baron simulator, has been out on PC for several years now, but it just made the leap to the Switch. It’s a fun, if somewhat shallow, game that wouldn’t really make sense on other consoles. In Turmoil, you compete with three other AI characters to extract oil from various plots of land, earning money to be spent at an auction on shares that will determine the next mayor of the town. The game consists of two phases,…
