And now I’ve played the game, I’ve finished it, and I finally have a review for you. Did Dragon Quest VII live up to my expectations after all this time? Read on to find out!

Excellent 1 Up Box Customer Service

Usually each month we do a few unboxing and reviews of various subscription boxes. Unfortunately, we never got around to that with 1 UP Box because so many of the items inside were taken before I ever got the chance to open up the box.

Futuridium EP Deluxe Review

There are not very many New 3DS exclusive games, so when a new one comes along, its definitely a time to celebrate for New 3DS owners.

Is Futuridium worthy of the New 3DS? Futuridium doesn’t have much of a story. There is a…

Everyone knows if you want to find a heart or rupee quick in a Zelda game, then you had better cut the grass and see what you can find. But what if there was an entire game about grass cutting with a sword? And you don't find hearts or rupees when cutting the grass, no sir, the grass cutting is the point of the game!

Word Logic by POWGI Review

Back during E3, I played a demo of Word Logic by POWGI. I thought that the game was very hard, but also very interesting. And now the game is coming to the Wii U and 3DS on Thursday. Lightwood Games provided me a copy of both versions and here are my final thoughts on the game!

Buddy And Me: Dream Edition Wii U Review

Endless runners are a genre that I have mixed feelings about. Some endless runners, like Wind-Up Knight 2 are good, while others are not so great. Buddy and Me: Dream Edition is a new endless runner that came to the Wii U today. Is it a good game, an ok game, or a bad one?
