Peanuts: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure
Very few games now a days are really kid and adult friendly at the same time. What I mean by that is, the game is easy enough for kids to play alone, and entertaining enough for adults to participate - or play alone themselves! Peanuts: Snoopy's Grand Adventure is the PERFECT example of this. Before someone points out that Nintendo has many games that fit this build, I say yes...but no. My four year old nephew can EASILY play Snoopy's Grand Adventure, with a little bit of help from myself. My six year old son? He's beaten the game already on Xbox One, and will be tackling the 3DS version on an upcoming vacation trip.

I received a copy of Just Cause 3 a few days ahead of its December 1st launch and realized one thing really quickly: the story in this game is pretty bad, but that does not matter in the slightest. Do not get me wrong, this game is outstanding and anyone picking up a Just Cause title for the story is doing it wrong. Reality check: Just Cause 3 is all about explosions, bigger explosions, and incredibly and physically impossible explosions. Explosions, explosions, explosions.

Will you try these cool Twitch things out?
