January 11th signals the first of the major releases on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS for 2019, and while we aren’t necessarily getting brand new experiences, these three titles will go a long way in getting the year off to a great start! What’s coming you might ask? Let’s dive in!

Welcome to the last More Thoughts of the year! Its been a great year of gaming. So many games, so little time right? I’ve played a bunch of games this year and so I thought I’d put together a list of my favorite games of 2018. Enjoy! And Happy New Year! Its been a great year for video games. The Nintendo Switch, especially, has had a very good year. But this was also the year that my family finally got…

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey is headed to the 3DS next month! Check out a new story trailer below. Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story was previously on the DS. The version for the 3DS includes a new mode called Bowser Jr’s Journey. I’ve never played Bowser’s Inside Story. The Mario & Luigi series is fun though and the addition of Bowser Jr’s Journey should be a plus for anyone thinking of picking the game…

While not slated to be released until January 25th, 2019, the latest from developer Limbic Entertainment and publisher Kalypso, Tropico 6 is already available via Beta Access for pre-purchases. As someone who has a rather complicated relationship with the Tropico franchise, I approached the Tropico 6 Beta Access with cautious optimism. It is always a hard job to review a game before its official release. There are bound to be bugs and issues, but it would be unfair to dwell on those and not judge the game for what it will look like when it is fully released. ...

Cake Laboratory for Nintendo Switch is all about decorating cakes and then stacking them. Of course, one false move and the tower will come falling down. Is Cake Laboratory something you’ll want to play or is just another cheap mobile game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch? Cake Laboratory is a very simple, yet addictive puzzle game. The goal of the game is to see how high you can stack cakes. With each level, the stack of cakes gets…

I wasn’t going to buy Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch. I had no plans to…and then…I did! Today’s column is all about why I didn’t want to buy Smash, why I ended up getting it, and what I think of the game so far. I was tired of Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Don’t get me wrong: I thought the game looked good. I had played Smash Bros games before and liked them. That said, Nintendo was going…

If you've never played an adventure as grade-A bad ass Rico Rodriguez, then you are definitely missing out on one of video games more entertaining - albeit wildly unrealistic -  action adventure experiences. And that is really what sets Rico's adventures in the Just Cause franchise apart from other action adventure games: there is almost nothing remotely possible about the various actions you'll complete in Just Cause 4. Is it a step above Just Cause 3? While I'm not entirely sure about that, it's still the over-the-top experience I'm looking for in the franchise.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is finally coming out next month! Today, Square Enix released the final trailer for the game. Take a look at it below and then please come back for my thoughts on the trailer. Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One on January 29th! The new trailer looks amazing.

Adam Roffel, our in editor-in-chief, asked me if I wanted to take PUBG for a spin. I said yes, because, hey I liked Fornite. And PUBG looked like it might be fun. So I started playing it and…well, read on below to find out what happened next. I suck at PUBG. I won’t bury the lead. I am terrible at this game. I wasn’t great at Fornite, but I did tend to live a long time and sometimes actually kill…
