After a Month – Why I Played ARK: Survival Evolved on Nintendo Switch

Even on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, ARK: Survival Evolved has been a problematic title for numerous people. Sure, it runs better on some platforms over others, but to say it runs flawlessly on all - or even one - would be an incorrect statement. And yet somehow, I've logged a few hundred hours into my various maps on Xbox One; despite the flaws, there is a game here that I really enjoy. But how will it perform on Nintendo Switch?

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Review

Every once in a while a game comes along that just feels completely out of place in its environment. As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games. Travis Strikes Again: NMH, in all of its raunchiness and straight-up adults-only dialogue, on the family-oriented Nintendo Switch? It just didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t. But you know what, that might just be one of the best things about it. Confused? As you will come to learn, confusion is just ...

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Review

Although Nintendo has been publishing Super Smash Bros titles since the Nintendo 64 era, I’ve never really been able to get into any of them. The reasoning for that isn’t as apparent as I would have thought either. I like the idea of Super Smash Bros. I like the characters in Super Smash Bros. And I even love the level design. But for some reason, they’ve never grabbed me. A copy of the game was provided by Nintendo of Canada…

Nintendo Direct Announced For Tomorrow (9/6)

Nintendo of America announced a Direct for tomorrow via twitter. We have the details below and my predications/hopes on what we might see and what we probably won’t see. A 35 minute long Nintendo Direct is a pretty big deal. The Direct will cover 3DS and Nintendo Switch games. Switch is likely to get the most attention during the Direct, though I have to say I’m just as excited to see what they show for 3DS! I have both a…

Warner Bros Booth Tour at E3 2018

Warner Bros did not disappoint at E3 2018! I didn’t realize it until my booth tour was over with WB, but villainy was definitely the theme. I only played two titles, but I was a Hitman in one and a DC villain aiding the Joker in a prison escape in the others. I am now realizing how infrequently play villains, and I have say, I loved it. Another delightful surprise, both of these games will release before the end of the year, so players will get a chance to try on the feeling of being wicked in not too long.
