In the first part of our Review-in-progress, I talked about Cozy’s Grove’s graphics. And now its time to talk more the actual gameplay and where I’m currently at in the game. Cozy Grove isn’t just a simulation game. Its gameplay works on a real time clock, as mentioned before, but it has gameplay elements from two other genres: hidden object games and role playing games. Let’s look at that hidden object aspect. In Cozy Grove, you’ll be asked to find…

When Google first announced the nest hub a few years back, I had to have one for my kitchen - putting it in my room as an alarm clock never really crossed my mind, despite many folks doing it. But then we upgraded the kitchen display to a Nest Hub Max, and well...you can imagine how that was a big improvement with the bigger screen. That ultimately pushed the original Nest Hub to my wife and I's room, and while we liked having that, it started to feel a bit short on features and quality compared to other Google products we were adding to our home (like the ...

For a little more insight into what Cozy Grove is, check out my first impressions article from yesterday. Today I want to talk about Cozy Grove’s graphics! Cozy Grove is a cute, colorful cartoon-like game. If you’ve ever played Don’t Starve, the graphics are a bit like that game expect not as dark and stormy looking. Basically Cozy Grove lives up to its name: it is cozy. The graphics are like a warm blanket that gets even more comfortable when…

Another column, another PS Now game. This time I want to talk about Tales of Zestiria. In another column, I talked about a previous Tales of game called Tales of Vesperia which I enjoyed. What do I think of Tales of Zestiria? I think I like Tales of Zestiria more than Tales of Vesperia. Look, both of these games are good but so far Tales of Zestiria really has me hooked more than Vesperia. So whats so different about this…

And now I have another game that I want to play every day! Its called Cozy Grove. Let me tell you about it. Cozy Grove isn’t Animal Crossing New Horizons. Yes, there are some similarities, such as a real time clock and it also has fishing, digging, and takes place…

Its amazing that more games haven’t been delayed, it has happened so much with movies and television. We don’t know for sure…

It is no secret that we are huge fans of Creative products at GamesReviews.com, having reviewed a ton (perhaps all?) of their products over the past few years. A few months back, they reached out again with the opportunity to review the Creative SBS E2900 Bluetooth Speaker System with subwoofer, and of course we jumped at the opportunity. This competitively priced system looks like a great addition to any computer or gaming setup, but does it work well enough, and can it compete with the big-kids in the marketplace that are more expensive? Let's take a look!
