Kingdom Hearts is a mess of mixed genres, overlapping storylines and convoluted writing, and yet we still love it. Its cheesy optimism and tight gameplay – not to mention the much-loved cameos – makes it a must-play for anybody with a heart (sorry, Nobodies). Melody of Memory takes all of that and basically just dumps it in the bin, replacing the best of the franchise with a self-indulgent Theatrhythm clone. And that’s not to say it’s bad. There are things…

Read MoreNew Pokemon Snap Review
Personally, as a gamer, I’ve had a semi love/hate relationship with Pokémon over the years. I was an early adopter to the series having Pokémon Blue when it came out and did really enjoy the game. But we haven’t really had anything quite like that until then. Obviously, since then it has blown up to a worldwide phenomenon with people camped out for cards, buying games left and right, storming Build-A-Bear to get plushies…its been a crazy ride. I’ve gone…

Monster Hunter is a terrible franchise. Monster Hunter is boring. Monster Hunter lacks depth and creativity. Monster Hunter is a button masher. Anytime I've seen a Monster Hunter game hit the market, these are basically the 4 stereotypical responses I go to in order to somehow justify why I don't want the game.

Then, Nintendo came knocking on my door with an opportunity to review Monster Hunter Rise, and since I ...

While each game was vying for superiority this year - some called it the battle of farming simulation games - only one game really hit home, and that experience was Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. While I wasn't a fan of everything in the game, the overall experience is top notch, and a must play for farming simulation fans.
