LEGO Launching New Carousel in June

The LEGO Group is coming back around with their lineup of fair-ground Creator sets by releasing their second carousel set to date. This model is from the Creator Expert theme, and will retail for roughly 199.99 US, 249.99 Canadian. The set includes 2670 pieces, and is recommended for ages 16 and up. The LEGO Group seems to have carried over a lot of the ideas from their first go at a carousel set, but have not gone for a 1:1 replica. This is a completely new set that will look great on display, or when used in a larger, play scenario. Let's see what's all included!

Nintendo Fixes Acceleration Issues in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

We at GamesReviews.com feel pretty confident in the following statement: very few people realized Mario Kart 8 on Wii U had an acceleration problem, but yet will be relieved to hear it has been fixed in the Deluxe edition on the Nintendo Switch. When Mario Kart 8 came out a few years ago on Wii U, Nintendo YouTube ambassador Abdallah - who is a big friend of the site - posted a video to his YouTube page regarding an issue with the acceleration numbers when selecting karts. You can see his video from a few years ago below.

Mobile Review: Tokaido

Tokaido might be the most relaxing board game you will ever play, and you have the opportunity to buy the physical version, we strongly recommend it. While not overly complicated, attempting to explain all the rules of the game here would be much too wordy, so we've linked off to a PDF of the rules. In Tokaido, you choose from numerous travelers and begin a trek between two major Japanese villages. Along the way you will stop collect a variety of items that will give you points, and whomever has the most points at the conclusion of the game is deemed the winner.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Episode 3

When I reviewed Episode 1 and 2 of A New Frontier, I was somewhat critical of how quickly Javi was presented to the players. As a new character, I had hoped this back story – mainly the issues with his family – would be explained better to give us a better understanding of his character. Now I see why they didn’t. Episode 3 picks up right where episode 2 ended, and this time around, we are getting a few “Oh…
