Ever since RARE launched the Sea of Thieves Alpha a number of months ago, I have been jumping into the game and trying it out during each alpha session. It has been really fun watching the game evolve in front of my eyes, and concepts, themes, and execution of the pirate idea is very well done. With the official Beta launch - and more people sailing the seven seas - it was time to begin judging Sea of Thieves in a more critical light. How does this hold up? How much fun is it really? What is there to do without leveling and upgrading? The beta has handled a ...

Heading West: A Look At World to the West for Nintendo Switch
I really liked Teslagrad on the Wii U. The graphics were very good and the gameplay was a lot of fun. The developer of that game, Rain Games, has a new game out now for the Nintendo Switch: World to the West. The game is set in the same universe as Teslagrad, however the gameplay and graphics are very different. I received a review copy of World to the West recently. My review isn’t ready yet but I thought I…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #104: SNES Classic Hands-on Impressions
I tried and failed to get an NES Classic. Then the SNES Classic came out and I failed to get that too. I thought I’d never get either one of them. And then early last week, Amazon had a Lightning deal on the SNES Classic. I managed to finally buy an SNES Classic! Now that I’ve played with the system some, is the SNES Classic worth all this trouble? How are the games on the system? How do they play?…

Read MoreVanishing of Ethan Carter Review Xbox One Update
At the very start of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a message sprawls across the screen informing the player that this game does not hold your hand and that through atmospheric exploration you will discover the truth. This statement could not be more true, and only moments into gameplay it is clear that you are on your own. With nearly open world investigation and a subtle storyline that does not force the player into doing things in any particular order, you are able to fully enjoy the experience of the world created. A beautiful game at heart, it was ...
Read MoreZoopa Phoenix HD Drone
I've not had a ton of experience using drones in my lifetime, but when given the opportunity to take Zoopa's latest for a spin, I couldn't resist. With a large open park next to my home, flying the drone around while my kids played was an excellent excuse to do this review! From putting the device together, to flying it, it was way less difficult than I ever imagined. Although everything about this drone is not perfect, it's still a great product for under 200$ USD!
Read MoreNintendo Labo Has Brought Out the Toxic Gaming Community
Many hard core Nintendo fans were really excited for yesterday's Nintendo presentation, and ultimately seemed to leave with a sense of severe disappointment. A lot of great ideas were being floated around the Internet, ideas that would get anyone excited: Animal Crossing making its way to Nintendo Switch, perhaps a accessory kids could use throughout the day, that could be synced to their Switch at night, and so on. So when Nintendo's video presentation showed cardboard cutouts that utilized the many features of the Joy-Con, NUMEROUS people expressed ...

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #103: The State of the Nintendo Direct
So…we had a Nintendo Direct last week. It was Nintendo Direct Mini to be exact. During that Direct, we got some new announcements. A lot of people that I follow seemed to like the Direct. I heard there were people who didn’t like it, but I never saw those comments. Well, ok, I did see those comments from one person: myself. I didn’t care for the Direct. I stated why in this article. However, I want to talk about that…
