Square Enix has released a demo of Trials of Mana for the Nintendo Switch (its also on the PS4). I played the demo on the Switch and now I have some thoughts on it! The Trials of Mana demo is packed with content. Players are allowed to pick from several characters to play as, plus they can have two companions. I have tried out two of the characters but haven’t finished their sections yet. Each character starts off in a…

Indie World Showcase 3.17.2020 (video)
Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase just aired! We have the video below and some thoughts on it too. This Indie World Showcase was a lot better than then the last one in my opinion. A lot of cool looking indie games were shown this time. Which ones did I like the best? For me, the biggest standout was Summer in Mara. It looked like a cross between the Legend of Zelda and the new Animal Crossing! I absolutely want to play…

There are only three more days until Animal Crossing New Horizons comes out! So what’s the latest news? How am I feeling about the game? Let’s talk about New Horizons some more! Yesterday, reviews came out for Animal Crossing New Horizons. I didn’t read any of them but people were posting the scores and they were pretty high. Gotta love those 10 out of 10s. The game really does look like it’ll be that good! More trailers have been released…
Read MoreOne Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Review
As a fan of the show by the same name, as well as a long time Mortal Kombat enthusiast, I could not wait to get started playing One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. At first, it seemed like a match made in heaven. While some aspects of the game were more in-depth and impressive than I would have suspected, others were equally less impressive than I had hoped. Let’s dive right in and see what awaits us in One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows!
Read MoreXbox Series X Tech Specs Released
It's official! Today, Microsoft unveiled the official Xbox Series X tech specs, as well as a few articles to decipher the specs and technical capabilities of the next-gen console. Until now there was plenty of speculation and a few hints and teases about the relative power of the Series X and what it will be able to do.

Let's take a look at the official specs that will be offered with the Day One Xbox Series X!

Read MoreMore Coming to Two Point County – Our Top 3 New Franchises
Back in 2019, GamesRadar did an interview the team behind Two Point Hospital to discuss the game itself, and if we would see any other games coming to Two Point County. You can read that full interview here! We won't hash out that entire discussion here again, except to say that the development team definietly envisions more adventures coming to Two Point County, and might have even dotted a few hints along the way! Did anyone else the 'amusement park' - actually just a small collection of fair rides - on the map?! Let's dive into three new franchises we ...
Read MoreOri and the Will of the Wisps Review
Ori and the Will of the Wisps, available as a part of Game Pass or $30 to own, is a fantastic game that’s worth whichever price of entry you choose. During the review period, it was clear that there were some issues with performance, and while Microsoft assured us these would be addressed with a day one patch, they still recommended that the game be played on an Xbox One X or Windows 10. Not one to do what I’m…
Read MorePowerA Wireless GameCube Controller
We've reviewed a number of PowerA products over the past few months, but just after Christmas, our good friends sent us a special Nintendo Switch Lite carrying case (review) and a GameCube style controller. In general, third party controllers - even those licenced by Nintendo - can be incredibly hit or miss, but I won't bury the lead on this one - the PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller is fantastic; it's so good, in fact, that I went out a bought a second one!
Read MoreBayonetta Remaster Review
Bayonetta, one of the most iconic action-adventure games from the previous generation era, has been remastered and released on the Xbox One and PS4. As mentioned previously, you don’t see too many successful action-adventure games being released these days, with even some of the biggest franchises experiencing a slump in sales. With this in mind, it would be fair to say that a Bayonetta re-release would have a difficult time finding too much traction in a world already saturated with action adventure games. Will the success and nostalgia of the original game ...
