Move over Shovel Knight! There’s only one true digging game and its based in Steamworld. Ok, so Shovel Knight is cool too. And they have their own amiibo figures. And…whatever. I still think Steamworld Dig is cooler. Rusty would totally beat up Shovel Knight if those two characters were in Smash Bros (please Nintendo?). And so its great that there is a Streamworld Dig 2 with Rusty…wait a second. That isn’t Rusty! What’s going on here?! Lets take a look…

Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a role playing game I’ve had my eye on for awhile now. I was hoping it would still come to Wii U, but with a lot of companies switching over to Nintendo’s newest console, I wasn’t sure! Today,  Snowcastle Games announced that Earthlock is still on the way for Wii U and will be coming out this week in Europe and hopefully next week in the U.S. We have more details below. Earthlock: Festival of…

I love Adventure games. I’m not much of a PC gamer but I use to play point-and-click games a lot. And I’m always interested in Adventure games on consoles too. A few years ago, I played a game called Syberia on one of Xbox systems I believe. I thought it was a really odd and very cool game. Syberia was an old school Adventure/puzzle game. We don’t see those type of games too often anymore. So it pleases me to…

About a week head of launch, 505 games sent out a press swag bag to promote the launch of Last Day of June. Knowing this was the same team that published Portal Knights - a game I really loved - I jumped at the opportunity to get a hold of their next published game. When the care package arrived at the door, it included three items: a short note written on a card from 505 Games, a pair of glasses that matched the ones Carl wears in the game, and a box of tissues. The second I saw the tissues, I knew that, in their eyes at least, 505 Games saw Last Day of ...

If you've had the pleasure of playing the original Knack title, you'll remember it was a charming, underrated experience that was mired by mediocre scores from media, but generally favorable scores from actual players. Well, it's 2017 and Knack is back for a second adventure. While not a ton has changed between these two titles, a few years has made Knack 2 a far superior product.

The thrilling video game marketplace has been steadily growing for the last 15-20 years, and Observer is just the latest in a long run of cyber-punk games to enter this particular marketplace. Creating a great thriller title for console is fairly hard - movies work because the directors have all the say, but in video games, you the player decide what to do and where to go, which can take away from the intended experience. Thankfully, during my play through of Observer, I rarely felt this to be the case!

Nintendo of America did a Nindies Summer Showcase video presentation today. A lot of games were shown off. Check out the video below and please come back for my opinion of the showcase and the games shown. The Nindies Summer Showcase today was really good. I wasn’t sure it would be at first because I didn’t find the initial games that impressive (Super Meat Boy Forever looked ok, but not my sort of game). But then we got big news…

It's not often that developers and publishers do Let's Plays of their own games, but Ubisoft has taken it upon themselves to not only provide walkthroughs on its YouTube channel for each level, but also to provide new players with a number of tips to succeed in Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We've embedded the video below, and type out Ubisoft's Top 10 Tips below!

I've never been one to play authentic golf titles, and although I did enjoy The Golf Club 2 which launched earlier this year, it still wasn't what I was looking for. It's been a while since we've had an outstanding arcade golf experience like Mario Golf or Hot Shot's Golf, but that has all changed today with the release of the Hot Shot's successor, Everybody's Golf! Grab your clubs and get ready for an RPG golfing experience, one that is sure to both delight and frustrate you to no end!

One of the first games I thought of downloading onto my recently bought Nintendo Switch was Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas. I remember Adam Roffel telling me how good it was. I remember reading his review. And of course, I’m a big Zelda fan. Oceanhorn looked like a lot of fun. So I finally bought Oceanhorn for the Switch and I have been playing it a lot. Here are my thoughts on the game so far. Oceanhorn for the Nintendo…
