I miss the Burnout franchise. I’m not very good at racing games so I’m always running off the road and hitting other cars. So the Burnout franchise was perfect for me. I loved how you can hit the cars and damage them. Unfortunately none of the Burnout games are on the Switch. However Asphalt 9: Legends is on the Switch and its a lot like Burnout. And its free-to-download! How is this game? Asphalt 9: Legends is not Burnout. Its…

I was going to write Batman: Arkham Knight for this entry of More Thoughts. Then I discovered…I did not like Batman: Arkham Knight. So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

Need for Speed: Heat was revealed today for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the reveal trailer below. Need for Speed is an arcade racer, much like Burnout. I prefer Burnout but Need for Speed is pretty cool too. I’m glad to see arcade racers like this are still around. I do wish it was coming to the Nintendo Switch though. That said, Need for Speed Heat’s reveal trailer didn’t announce a release date nor did it…

It is very common these days for game developers to release remastered versions of their older games. Typically, the games selected for remaster were revolutionary and wildly successful. In turn, the franchises selected are typically (but not always) those that have not received as much success since this breakout title. While Crash Bandicoot remains an iconic character, there really has not been a game as appealing as the original Crash Team Racing within the franchise. Considering that release was almost exactly 20 years ago, it seems the ideal candidate ...

Microsoft hyped up an E3 2019 beyond our imagination. They promised surprises, bringing someone new, lots of games, and more. Shigeru Miyamoto was even rumored to appear at the Xbox Briefing. So how did the conference turn out? Well…lets talk about it… What was that Microsoft? Xbox E3 Briefing 2019 was full of games, sure, but nothing too stunning. We knew about most of the games and the ones we didn’t know about were mostly indies. Microsoft, to their credit,…

Team Sonic Racing is available now! Are you going to play it? Let us know in the comments. Meanwhile, check out the launch trailer for the game. This is a really strange launch trailer. Its more like a commercial for the game than a typical launch trailer. Most of the trailer is live action and a put on of the actual game. When the trailer does show actual gameplay, its very brief. You have to wonder if publishers are ashamed…

First there was Journey, then there was Flower and there’s…Bird Game+?! Wait, what am I talking about? I’m talking about games that go beyond just simple fun. Basically games that are artistic and beautiful. Bird Game+ fits into that category. But is it a game that you’ll want to spend a lot of time with? Here is my review of Bird Game+ for the Nintendo Switch. Bird Game+ is a very unique experience for the Nintendo Switch. Right from the…

Right from the get-go, looking at the cover graphics of Ubisoft’s Trials Rising, you can make a good guess of what you are going to see when you first fire this game up. Cool graphics, lots of loops, jumps and racing adventure. As this game comes from a publisher which has given us epics like the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed series, I had high expectations right out of the gate. Yes, the opening cinematic and music told me there was fun and adventure to come – crack open the throttle and let's get going!
