There are some games that are so hard that you just want to throw your controller or in the case of the Switch, your system, and give up games altogether.

Kirby Star Allies Review
Like Mario and Zelda, Kirby is another of the Nintendo franchises that has refused to quit over the past 25 years, and for good reason: despite the 'easy' nature of these games, they continue to appeal to the broader Nintendo fan base, taking the world of platform video games and delivering it to a wider, more accessible audience.

As more and more people move towards a completely digital library, the need for towers to hold games is becoming less and less necessary.

Recently, GamesReviews.com got connected with Gamer2Go and were offered a free product, a custom PS4 controller. When the Overwatch themed controller arrived at our door, I was flabbergasted.
