I’m a huge Animal Crossing fan. I own all of the Animal Crossing games (amiibo festival and Happy Home Designer included). The series is, without a doubt, my favorite Nintendo franchise! Awhile back, Nintendo of Europe brought Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U Virtual Console. However, there was no sign at all that they were bringing it to North America. Thats changing tomorrow when Nintendo of America brings Animal Crossing Wild World to the Wii U eshop. They…

Circle Entertainment always brings interesting Japanese rpgs and games to the 3DS. One of the games that I really liked that they brought to the system was called Fairune. The game was an action rpg with very detailed 8-bit style graphics. Awhile back, we found out that there would be a sequel to the game called Fairune 2. It was a given that Circle would bring that title to North America too. Now we have a North American release date…

Firewatch, which has been brought to Xbox One via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program, has been an interesting game to play through my first few minutes. The game is focused solely on story telling, and so your adventure inevitably is over almost as soon as it begins; this, however, is by no means a bad thing. Firewatch hooks you early, and hard. If the story does not hook you right away, shut it off and move on. There isn’t a whole…

With Halloween right around the corner, I’ve been looking at some spooky video games this month. One of my favorite spooky series is the Resident Evil franchise. I still remember playing the first Resident Evil and being blown away by it. Resident Evil was one of the reasons I bought a Playstation 1. It was also a reason I bought the Gamecube! Today, I want to talk about that first Resident Evil and also mention my favorite of the Resident…

I love role playing games. I was a huge fan of the Final Fantasy games until they turned into action games. And I really love Dragon Quest 9 from Square Enix too. So when Square finally announced that Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past was coming to the North American 3DS, I was excited. I couldn’t wait to play the game! 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!

This week we’ve been looking at Paper Mario: Color Splash in the lead up to the game’s launch. Today the game arrives on the Wii U eshop and in retail stores. We provide our plans for our upcoming review coverage below. Paper Mario: Color Splash is out for the Wii U right now. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the game on twitter, however I’ve been avoiding reviews because I’ll be writing one of my own starting…

All this week I’ve been looking at just Paper Mario Color Splash, however today I want to look at the other Paper Mario games along with Color Splash. Paper Mario has seen five games in its franchise now (including Color Splash), plus a spinoff crossover with the Mario & Luigi franchise. Nintendo loves their Mario rpgs. Which one of the Paper Mario games is the best so far? Which one is the worst? And where does Paper Mario Color Splash…

If there is one thing that you can always count on in Paper Mario games, its that the games will have a dash of humor and always keep things light. In Paper Mario games, you just never know what wacky character or place you’ll visit next. From what I’ve seen of Color Splash so far, this is more true than ever with Nintendo’s newest entry in the series! Paper Mario Color Splash never takes itself too seriously. You can see…

The first episode of Telltale’s new Batman game was pretty solid, although the game leaned heavily on the story and was fairly light on the actual game play. While I fully understand that Telltale titles are story driven, I do expect a bit more in the action department. I hoped episode 2 would bring more action, and although the game doesn’t quite deliver on that front yet, the solid story continues and pulled me through, salivating for what was next.…

Yesterday, we talked about Paper Mario: Color Splash’s graphics. But everybody knows, it doesn’t matter how good your game looks if the gameplay isn’t any good. Thankfully, it looks like Paper Mario: Color Splash has a cool battle system to go along with its cool graphics! In Paper Mario: Color Splash, the battles start on the TV screen. Mario will just be wandering along, minding his own business, when suddenly an enemy attacks him!! Alright, sometimes Mario is the one…
