When I first saw Monster Hunter Stories in the Nintendo eShop, it was right around the day the demo landed, and everybody kept saying online, "It's Pokémon, but Monster Hunter." I was intrigued immediately, but that excitement was quickly quashed when I realized that Monster Hunter Stories is almost nothing like Pokémon at all. Then I played the demo, and a new wave of excitement passed through me. Monster Hunter Stories is not a game without a number of faults, but the overall package work really well, making it one of my favorite 3DS games this year.

The Blob designed by Google is no more. The weird looking blobs have been retired in favour of more conventional looking ones. Introduced in the spring of 2013, the blobs remained an integral part of the operating system conveying a sea of emotions.

Jackbox Party is a phenomenally entertaining game on console, and if you haven't had the pleasure of playing any of the packs yet, perhaps you will jump at yet another opportunity on yet another console: the Nintendo Switch.

Read MoreLEGO Worlds is the Perfect Fit on Nintendo Switch
When LEGO Worlds came out earlier this year on the PS4 and Xbox One, we jumped at an opportunity to review the title, and thanks to Warner Bros. in Canada, we had that opportunity. You can read our (mostly positive) thoughts here!

With the recent launches of Madden 18 and (soon) NHL 18, I re-up'd my service thanks again to Xbox Canada, and realized the immense ...
