Dark Harvest Board Game Review
Thanks to our friends at Skybound and Sideshow Collectibles, I had the early opportunity to play Dark Harvest, a game about harvesting and spending souls, as well as influence tokens, to...well...get more souls. Because to win at Dark Harvest, you need to have the most souls in your possession, and how better to get souls than to get some great reapers on your side. But does Dark Harvest deliver enough fun to warrant the $25 price tag? Let's take a look!

More Thoughts From Me #230: Just Keep Swimming and Diving and Avoid that Glitch
I’m a huge fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You all know that. I gave the game a 10 out of 10 in my review. I keep writing articles about it with lots of praise. I’m a huge fan. So yeah, its tough for me to say anything negative about the game or the series (though I have. The eggs! THE EGGS). But today, I do have at least one negative thing to say. And some positive stuff too! Let’s…
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Pushes Franchise Forward Again
With the last two installments of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Ubisoft has reworked the games entire formula while trying to stay true to what made the original so fantastic - stealthy mechanics, outstanding kills, and more. While Origins and Odyssey were surprisingly similar - small welcome changes did come when we headed to ancient Greece - it appears as if Ubisoft is taking a big leap forward with Valhalla, and I couldn't be more excited.
CrossCode Review
CrossCode is an action adventure game coming to the Nintendo Switch this week! I’ve been playing it a bunch and now I’m ready to share my opinion of this game. Is CrossCode worth checking out? Here is my review! CrossCode is set in a fictional MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) world. Note: this game is not a real MMO but at times, you can be fooled. The main characters and the NPCs all make the world of CrossCode seem like a…

July 23rd is the Biggest Day in Xbox History
There really isn't a point to sugar coating it. Prior to the introduction of Xbox Game Pass - a brilliant business decision that puts fans first - Microsoft was floundering with the Xbox One family in the console space. Big franchises seemed to die on the platform, most notably Fable, and the console just never picked up steam to compete with the PlayStation 4. And all of these critiques comes from a guy who played the majority of games this generation on the Xbox One X.
