Few games this generation have been as ambitious and disappointing as Death Stranding. The title had a ton of hype, as it was being developed by Hideo Kojima, and was starring the Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus. Just on those two points, and knowing there would be an epic world to explore, I was hooked from the day it was announced. Sadly – in my opinion at least – Death Stranding became enamored with itself, cloaking much of the games development…

Ring Fit Adventure First Impressions
Workout games have always been hit or miss, but somehow Nintendo is always at the top when it comes to making something exhausting, fun. Whether it was the original Wii Fit, or their latest boxing game, Nintendo has a knack for creating fun, yet demanding, fitness games that are appropriate for the entire family. Ring Fit Adventure is the most ambitious project yet from the video game giant, but also the safest in my opinion. Who doesn’t love an action…

Read MoreState of Play (Video)
Sony had their State of Play video earlier today. I watched it and have some thoughts on it. Check out the video below and then please come back here to see what I thought of it. Today’s State of Play was good. It wasn’t mind blowing and I’m sure there were some people who didn’t like it, but I enjoyed it. Most of all, I loved the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC footage. The DLC looks so much better than I…

Nintendo just finished their Indie World video. We have it below in case you missed it. Also, please come back after watching it for some thoughts on the video. I was very impressed by today’s Indie World video. There were a lot of cool indie games shown! First off, a sequel to Golf Story was shown. I wasn’t a big fan of Golf Story. I thought it was ok. Sports Story, on the other hand, looks like it’ll be a…
Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #199: Revisiting Kingdom Hearts
I’m a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. I love how you get to visit different Disney worlds and interact with the characters. All of the Disney stuff is great. And so I was very happy when I bought the Kingdom Hearts The Story So Far collection recently. I decided to start playing the first Kingdom Hearts again. Here are my thoughts on the game.

Read MoreMore Thoughts From Me #198: My Top 10 Favorite Games of All-Time
I may have written about this topic before but its worth revisiting because my favorite games of “all-time” list changes every so often. For this list I am limiting myself to one game per franchise because, honestly, most of my list would be Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest if I didn’t do that. Both of those games will have a game on this list of course. And so off we go! Starting with 10. 10. Star Wars: Knights of the…
Read MoreDisney Tsum Tsum Festival
As huge Disney fans, my family has been collecting Disney Tsum Tsum figures for years, both the hard plastic variety and the plush toys. Finding those rare Tsum Tsums at Walt Disney World, or aboard Disney Cruise Line, is always a fun experience, and growing our collection has always been a family affair. When it was announced that Bandai Namco was working with Disney to release a party game around the loveable collectables, I was on board right away. For…
