The Scribblenauts franchise has never been super popular but it has always  been unique and interesting. One of my favorites was the Scribblenauts DC Universe game for the Wii U. Things haven’t looked great for the franchise and I doubted we see another game. And so it was a surprise when Scriblenauts Showdown was announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game is out now and I received a review copy of the game! My review isn’t ready yet, but I…

Recently, our good friend Abdallah was flown out to San Francisco and put up in accommodations by Nintendo of America and given the opportunity to play around with Nintendo Labo in a closed environment.

On the surface, The Trial: Frontier Challenge from 22cans doesn't appear to be a very great title, and if you were to watch a few YouTube videos to see if you'd like it or not, you likely won't pick it up. There isn't anything really sexy about this title that will draw you in, but somehow, despite all those preconceived notions, I found myself dumping hours upon hours in game. And for the record, I haven't even finished it yet. I've been having so much fun treading through new areas, and revisiting past areas, that I've almost sidetracked myself from the ...

If you've come here expecting a full fledged review of Payday 2, you might be a tad disappointed. While we will definitely touch on the gameplay elements, it is a game many years in the making and YouTube will ultimately be the best example of what the game has to offer, thanks to the numerous game play videos. Instead, the focus here will be on how Payday 2 translates to the Nintendo Switch.
