This is the premise of a game called Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure and its for the Nintendo Switch! Is this a good game, an alright game, or should it be boxed up and put outside with the trash?

Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of my Fire Emblem Warriors review-in-progress. For the fourth and final part of my review-in-progress, I wanted to talk about Fire Emblem Warrior’s story.

Let me tell you about a story (while trying…

The Flame in the Flood Review

Do you ever feel like going on an adventure? You know, just pack your bags and go somewhere without a desination. Of course, in real life, taking an adventure requires time and money. Thats why if you can't go on a real adventure, then you can always find one in a video game. It may not feel as real, but sometimes a video game comes along thats all about the adventure-surviving, finding stuff, and not dying of course. The Flame in the Flood for Nintendo Switch is all about how long you can make it.

Fire Emblem Warriors Review-in-progress Part 2

Its been awhile since we’ve seen a console Fire Emblem game. And we’ve never seen a console AND handheld Fire Emblem game before. That said, we have seen the Fire Emblem characters in HD before thanks to the Smash Bros game on the Wii U. So we know what to expect right? Well, not exactly. The Fire Emblem characters in Warriors look different than the ones we saw in Smash Bros. This entire game is different from that game. How…

Lego Dimensions Ending

There has been rumors of Lego Dimensions being canceled for awhile. It turns out those rumors are true. Lego Dimensions is ending and there will be no new figures made from here on out. We have WB/TT’s official statement below and my thoughts on the announcement. I was hoping that the rumors of Lego Dimensions ending/cancelation were not true. I haven’t been able to collect a lot of the figures for this game, but I was hoping that there was…

Fire Emblem Warriors Review-in-progress Part 1

When Fire Emblem Warriors for the Switch (and New 3DS) was announced, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. I didn’t care much for Hyrule Warriors and I’m a huge Legend of Zelda fan, so would I like Fire Emblem in a non-turn-based strategy setting? Thanks to Nintendo and GamesReviews.com, I received a review copy of Fire Emblem Warriors for the Nintendo Switch. I have played it some and want to share with you my initial impressions of the game!…

Yono and the Celestial Elephants Review

You are an elephant and your name is Yono. You came from the sky and you are here to help people. This is the basic premise of Yono and the Celestial Elephants for Nintendo Switch. Yono is cute, without a doubt, but is it a good game too? Yono and the Celestial Elephants put gameplay above story for the most part, but I still think the game’s story was pretty good overall. I thought the ending to the game was…

More Thoughts From Me #90: Mario’s Odyssey is Almost Here

The Nintendo Switch has had a really big first year: a Zelda game, tons of great Indies, third party games (Skyrim!), and coming very soon: a 3D Mario game! Super Mario Odyssey comes out this month and it could very be the biggest and best to come out for Switch this year. That a pretty bold statement too when you think of Breath of Wild and all the great Indies and third games like Skyrim (not even out yet but…
