If there is one thing we know about Nintendo, it is that they have a AA game ready to release at a drop of a hat. Advanced Wars 1 & 2 was indefinitely postponed when the war in Ukraine began, and while some are wondering if Nintendo will release it soon - and announce it during today's direct - I'm not entirely convinced that will happen.

The CMA Could’ve Blocked. They Didn’t.
The CMA in the UK has given its initial verdict on Microsoft’s purchase of Activision – and it’s not necessarily good news. But it isn’t bad news either. The CMA has basically said that the potential of removing Call of Duty from PlayStation could cause harm to consumers, and the purchase would make it difficult for other companies to break into the cloud gaming market. These don’t really stand up to scrutiny. That’s okay, because this isn’t a final decision.…

Read MoreSpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Review
SpongeBob SquarePants was never a big part of my childhood, and it's really not something my kids watch now. That being said, when the Battle for Bikini Bottom game released on Nintendo Switch last year, my kids had a great time with it. They were equally as excited to hear that a brand new game was coming, and from our viewpoint, the wait was worth it. While the majority of our review play time was completed by my eight year old, I still think the opinions below will be helpful in whether or not you should pick this up! Let's go!

Goldeneye is still the incredible game we always knew it was. That confirmation, as if confirmation was needed, came with its re-release on Xbox and Switch this week.

The controls are a little more complicated than they need to be. The textures look like someone threw up in gravel and smeared them on the walls.…

I decided to get Persona 4 Golden because I had heard a lot of good things about it. And now that I’ve played it…

Last night, GoldenEye 007 launched early for the Nintendo Switch and Game Pass. I checked out both versions and have thoughts on them below. Full disclosure: I never had an Nintendo 64. I played some 64 games back in the day in stores and the rest of the N64 games I’ve played have been on the Wii, Wii U, and Switch. And so… I had never played GoldenEye 007 before. I’d seen the movie. I’d seen footage of the game.…
