Check out all the details from the Pokémon Company, outlined below!

Ever since RARE launched the Sea of Thieves Alpha a number of months ago, I have been jumping into the game and trying it out during each alpha session. It has been really fun watching the game evolve in front of my eyes, and concepts, themes, and execution of the pirate idea is very well done. With the official Beta launch - and more people sailing the seven seas - it was time to begin judging Sea of Thieves in a more critical light. How does this hold up? How much fun is it really? What is there to do without leveling and upgrading? The beta has handled a ...

I really liked Teslagrad on the Wii U. The graphics were very good and the gameplay was a lot of fun. The developer of that game, Rain Games, has a new game out now for the Nintendo Switch: World to the West. The game is set in the same universe as Teslagrad, however the gameplay and graphics are very different. I received a review copy of World to the West recently. My review isn’t ready yet but I thought I…

Two of my favorite Swedish developers - Image & Form and Zoink Games - have combined together under the Thunderful banner.

This is only good news for the game industry, combining two of the best into one! Check out the release below!

I tried and failed to get an NES Classic. Then the SNES Classic came out and I failed to get that too. I thought I’d never get either one of them. And then early last week, Amazon had a Lightning deal on the SNES Classic. I managed to finally buy an SNES Classic! Now that I’ve played with the system some, is the SNES Classic worth all this trouble? How are the games on the system? How do they play?…

Xbox dropped a major bombshell today, announcing that those who are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass will get new release titles 'free' on day one. So, if you are a subscriber, you can play Crackdown 3 on launch day, etc. For a long time, gamers have discussed the idea of 'renting' games from companies for a long time. Xbox Live and PS+ do this in a way, allowing you to keep playing the free monthly titles as long as you are a subscriber, but this is taking it to a different level. Free games each month are never new releases; this will be.
