When I heard the former creator of Harvest Moon - back when the franchise was the talk of farming simulation - was creating a brand new experience that would involve fishing, farming, and dragon raising, I was immediately intrigued and exited for the experience that was about to come. As time wore on, and more and more information about the game came to light, I began to have my doubts that this once famed developer would be able to rekindle the old Harvest Moon magic within a new title, and perhaps even, a new franchise. Now that I've played through the ...

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #133: That Earthlock demo!
I played Earthlock on the Wii U. I didn’t like it. When the title came to the Nintendo Switch, I was very skeptical. Then a demo came to the eshop. I was curious and so I downloaded it. Is Earthlock better on the Nintendo Switch or does its Wii U problems still plague it? On the Wii U, Earthlock had very long load times. You had a long load time whenever you went into another area. This made the game…
Read MoreNintendo Switch Indie Highlights Video
Nintendo UK had an Indie Highlight video today. You can check it out below and then please come back for my thoughts on this Indie Direct. The Nintendo Indie highlight video was not announced.

Read MoreTetra’s Escape
Tetris is one of my favorite puzzle games of all time. Tetra’s Escape for the Nintendo Switch…has nothing at all to do with Tetris. Yes, there are blocks and shapes that look like Tetris blocks but Tetra’s Escape is a different kind of puzzle game. Is it a good puzzle game though? The goal of each Tetra’s Escape level is pretty basic: reach the portal at the end of the level. The levels are very small and you always know…
