I did not watch the Game Awards last week. I thought about it, but Psych the Movie won out for my attention and I definitely made the right choice! That said, I did hear that Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won Game of the Year. I really love that game, but is it my Game of the Year? And just how do I feel about these year end game awards that everybody does? I am a huge Legend…

The first year of the Nintendo Switch is almost over! Can you believe its be a whole year (ok, almost a whole year. techically the first year)? What do you think of the system? Hey, don’t answer that yet. Let me tell you what I think of the system’s first year and what I think/hope will happen in year 2 (2018!). The first year of the Nintendo Switch is almost over. Most of the time, the first year of any…

Whenever I see a working demo unit for a Playstation 4, in Walmart or Gamestop, I have to check it out and see what the latest demos are. Yesterday, I was at Walmart and got to play three demos very briefly. Let me tell you what I thought of them. I was at Walmart yesterday and the Playstation 4 demo unit was working again. Its not very often that they have that system working. Its the same with their Xbox…

I was going to write about what (and who) in gaming I was thankful for this year but honestly, I just don’t feel like writing a list like that this year. Sorry. I am thankful for many of you though, especially Adam Roffel, Games Reviews, and some other wonderful people I mentioned on twitter. I am @df2506 there (plug, plug), please follow me. And Adam & Games Reviews and the other people I mentioned. Ok? So what is this column…

Super Mario Odyssey is out now and if you have Switch and you are not playing it, what the heck is wrong with you?! Seriously! You are missing out on the best Nintendo Switch game and the best Mario game yet! I never thought Nintendo would be able to make a better Mario game than Super Mario Maker, but they have really done it with Super Mario Odyssey. I barely think about Super Mario Maker anymore. Build my own 2D…

Animal Crossing New Leaf has been out for the 3DS for awhile now. I want to say six years, but I could be wrong. Its been awhile anyway. And I keep playing New Leaf every day because I love the Animal Crossing franchise. I absolutely loved the update that we got for it last year too. That said, I’m totally ready for a new Animal Crossing. Its been WAY too long. The update and the spinoffs were cool, but shouldn’t…

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…

When I heard that an upcoming indie would mix Golf and the rpg genre together, I was intrigued. I’m not really a sports fan but I tend to like unrealistic golf games. And of course I’m a huge rpg fan. Then I saw previews for Golf Story for Nintendo Switch and became very intrigued! The game looked really good. Well, I’ve finally got my hands on Golf Story and here are my impressions of the game so far. Golf Story…

Last week, I was going to write about third party games. Instead, I wrote about the Adventure games coming to the Switch. This week…well, I have to admit I’m starting to wonder if the Switch even needs third party games! Don’t get wrong: it would be very nice to see more third party games come to the Switch, however, have you seen how many games came out for the system last week? And this week? Plus we have Super Mario…

They say you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but I can’t help asking the following question. I keep seeing third party games being announced for the Nintendo Switch. I think its a great thing. I love that third party games are coming to the system. I hope we see more. That said, will the third party developers stick with the system? Will they bring more games? Nintendo fans have been down this road before. We have been…
