Activision Launching New Ghostbusters Game in July
If you cannot get enough of Ghostbusters - really, who can get enough, am I right?! - then perhaps you might be interested in Activision's upcoming Ghostbusters game for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. In this cooperative title, you and a band of three friends will roam around New York City removing the ghostly presence, one-by-one. There seems to be a heavy emphasis on cooperative couch play, something only indies are really pushing for now a days. If for no other reason, I hope this AAA game will be the driving force behind a resurgence in couch cooperative play. To the industries credit, more and more titles are bringing this back.

Miitomo is a Hit
Miitomo is a hit, and know one should be surprised. While I continue to have my reservations about how long it will continue to be relevant without some significant changes, it appears as if people are happy with it for now. They are really happy, in fact. Today, Nintendo released some data on Miitomo's success since launch. With over 4 million active monthly users, the game is generating 40,000 dollars per day. The average user is playing for 8 minutes per day.
Nintendo Cannot Afford Another WiiU
Rumors are rampant lately surrounding the Nintendo NX. We haven't commented on them, and don't plan to comment on them. However, we can comment on what Nintendo does next and what they will need to do to re-introduce themselves as a main stream gaming platform for everyone.

Fallout 4 Lives On at Games Reviews
Fallout 4 is a fantastic game, one that has gotten a lot of play time at Games Reviews.

Adam’s Venture Origins First Impresions

If you have longed for a puzzle game on Xbox One, and can't seem to find the desire to work through some of what Telltale is offering, I strongly recommend Adam Venture's Origins.
