Xbox Game Pass – The Ultimate Demo Service?
I've been using Xbox Game Pass since the day it was announced and offered to Xbox consumers, and for a long time, I almost fell sway to the folks who said, "Yah, but you don't actually own the games." Over the past while, I've been using my Xbox a bit less than I normally would - this is the first time I've owned all three major consoles at once! - but anytime I load it up, I often find myself looking through the Game Pass games to see what's new and what I might want to play.

Flight Simulator Now Available on Xbox Series X / Series S
One of the most impressive games of last year drops today on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S and I couldn’t be more excited. When Xbox Canada reached out with a review opportunity last year for Flight Simulator on PC, I was really bummed out since my PC is straight out of 2015, and was never going to run that gorgeous game. Fast forward to today, and I’ll get that wish, with Flight Simulator on Xbox, available on Game Pass.

I Wasn’t Expecting THAT in Pokémon UNITE!
In the last few years, there is one constant with Pokémon games: expect new releases in the mainline games AND a few weird experiences along the way that just freaking work. Game Freak has done that again with Pokémon UNITE, which has been available on Nintendo Switch since July 20th, and coming to mobile later this year.

PDP Pull-N-Go Case Holds It All – GIVEAWAY!
While we still believe that the Elite Player Backpack from PDP gaming is the best way to take your Nintendo Switch on the go whenever you leave the house, we are equally as impressed with the much more compact storage and carry solution, the Pull-N-Go case. While it cannot hold a ton of extras like your laptop, larger headphones, etc., it still finds a way to pack more than it should in a nice, protected space.

2021 is All About Photography: Beasts of Maravilla Island
It seems that 2021 is going to be dominated by titles that have some sort of camera capture mechanic, and that's pretty OK with me! Earlier this year, two other photograph centric titles were released. One, and indie title called Alwa: A Wildlife Adventure, had you traversing an island attempting to photograph wildlife and bring awareness to ecological preservation. You attempted to stop a hotel company from building a brand new hotel on a delapetated nature reserve. The other, New Pokemon Snap, was a bit bigger of a title, allowing Pokemon fans to capture their favourite monsters in their natural habitats. Beasts of Maravilla Island is continuing the trend in 2021 by giving us yet another experience, and while the photographic gameplay mechanics exist like the others, it provides yet ...

Red Rising from Stonemaier Games – Review
Over the past few weeks, I've been playing Red Rising, one of the newer board games from Stonemaier Games. For whatever reason, I never felt that Red Rising fit into the mould of games that Stonemaier was creating and publishing, and even after playing, it definitely feels different. While many of Stonemaier's previous games are deep dives that can take up to a few hours to complete, Red Rising - based on a popular book series - is fairly quick after you've learned the ins and outs of all the cards you'll be playing.

Rainbow Six Siege is Hella fun on Google Stadia
Rainbow Six Siege has been a gem of a title for Ubisoft for about half a decade, and as they bring more and more platforms online, the pool of available players, and the availability of the title to a wider audience, continues to grow. And while many might quickly write off the Stadia version, claiming there w0n't be a pool of players because, "Google Stadia is dead," rest assured your player base will be massive with cross-play support between Stadia, Luna from Amazon, and P

Between Two Castles of Mad Kind Ludwig: Secrets and Soirees Expansion
A few years ago, we took a look at the fantastic Stonemaier title, Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig, which combined elements of the infamous games Between Two Cities, and Castles of Mad King Ludwig. We reviewed the game and really loved the castle building, tile laying aspect. And really, we had no complaints with the original game. The rules worked well, the components were of a superior quality - as they always are with Stonemaier - and the game was just fun to play. Who wouldn't want to build not one, but two castles?! Stonemaier has done an excellent job over the years expanding their universes to bring in new ideas to old games, and released moderedtly priced expansions that greatly extend the shelf life of you favourite games. With the launch of Secrets and Soirees, that ...
