I’m about to carbon date myself a little. I remember when the X-Files originally started in the 90s. I was just a kid. I had never seen a show like the X-Files before. Two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully, investigated aliens, monsters, and other stuff every week. And when I got a chance to play an X-Files PC game, I jumped at it. I’m not a PC gamer, but I do love point & click games. While I don’t remember…

More Thoughts From Me Special Edition: I Have A Switch!
I thought I wasn’t going to get a Nintendo Switch till Christmas. And then, one day recently, I found out we were able to get a Nintendo Switch! We called up Gamestop and found out that they had two systems left. We went over there, picked up the system, a 64 GB micro SD card, and two games! I came home and…well, let me tell you about it in the rest of my column ok? Welcome to a More Thoughts…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #81: Rewrite History #DuckTales!
Might solve a mystery or rewrite history…Ducktales! Woo–oo. (stops singing). Yes, today I’m going to talk about Ducktales. Specifically Ducktales Remastered, a video game that came out on the Wii U awhile back. I’m sure it came out other places too but I played it on the Wii U. And now seems like a great time to talk about this game again with the new cartoon having just premiered last week! Was I supposed to talk about something else today?…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #80: Say Hey to My Little (Pikmin) Friend – Hey! Pikmin
I got a very unexpected birthday present this year. Adam Roffel, editor-in-chief of GamesReviews.com, got me Hey! Pikmin. I really wanted the game but I didn't think I'd ever be able to buy it. So I was really excited and couldn't wait to play it. Now, I've played the game a bunch and wanted to share with you my thoughts on it so far!
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #79: A Better (Lego) Marvel
I loved the first Lego Marvel game. It had Spider-man, the X-men, the Fantastic Four, and a ton of other Marvel superheroes. Plus, it had a fully explorable New York City. Lego Marvel 2, coming later this year, looks like it’ll be even bigger and better than the first game. Here are my thoughts on the game so far. Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way first: the X-men might not be in Lego Marvel 2.…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #77: Another Look At RPG Maker FES
Not that long ago, I did a review of RPG Maker FES for the 3DS. The object of the game, of course, is to make rpgs. You can also download rpgs that other people have made and play them. Though, at the time I reviewed the game, there weren’t many rpgs to play yet. So I decided, for this column, to go back to the game and see if anybody came out with a cool rpg yet. Let’s take a…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #76: Return of the SNES
I was never able to get an NES Classic Edition. I never will get one of those. So when I heard the rumor of an SNES Classic Edition, I dismissed it as fake. I also didn’t want it to happen because I knew what happened with the NES Classic. Of course, I was wrong. Again. Nintendo announced the SNES Classic Edition recently. I’ll tell you how I feel about the system now. I would love to have an Super Nintendo…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #75: Building An Oasis
I had asked for Ever Oasis for my birthday. I didn’t think I’d get to play it until then. But sometimes, twitter finds a way. This time, I found a wonderful person on twitter who was giving away Ever Oasis for the 3DS. I got a digital code for the game and downloaded it! And I’ve been playing it a lot ever since. What do I think of Ever Oasis? Read on to find out! I have more than 25…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #74: Revisiting Dragon Quest 7 for 3DS
I felt like playing an rpg again, but I didn’t have any new rpgs on hand. I considered starting a new game on Dragon Quest 7 for 3DS. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go all through the game again. Then, I remembered that the game had random dungeons that you can visit and fight enemies in. So I decided that I’d revisit my old save file. I was surprised by what I found. I knew that Dragon Quest…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #73: Final Thoughts on E3 2017
E3 2017 is over. And now its time for my final thoughts on it. How did I like this year’s E3 overall? Metroid 4. Mario + Rabbids. Metroid: Samus Returns. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga remake. Yoshi! Mario Odyssey overload (in a good way). Wall-to-wall games from Microsoft. Spider-man PS4. These are only a few of the big games from E3 2017. This year was especially big for Microsoft and Nintendo, but Sony had some good titles too. Unfortunately, Sony…
