Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition Review
The Tales franchise has been one of Japan’s most popular game franchises over the last few decades and while there has been some favorable attention in the west, the franchise has yet to hit the mainstream. Hopefully that will all change, as Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition will be one of the first tales games to be released across all major platforms, at the same time.

When I received the press package for the game ‘Worbital’, I did not really know what to expect and I can safely say that I was not particularly excited. How wrong was I?! Worbital is a strategic action game set in space. This is the latest work of the small studio Team Jolly Roger in cooperation with Advanced Interactive Gaming. It is possible that you have heard about their previous game – Interplanetary, which received positive reviews on Steam platform.…
Read MoreA Post-Modern Review of YIIK for the Nintendo Switch
I was going to do a normal review of YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG. Then, a thought popped into my head: why? Why should a review of YIIK be normal? The game is not normal. Its a weird, weird, weird, very weird game. Its also a very raw game. So it deserves a weird, raw review. A Post-Modern review. Whatever that means. So, as Mario would say, here we goooooo! YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG has bugs. And I don’t mean in…
Read MoreTravis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Review
Every once in a while a game comes along that just feels completely out of place in its environment. As soon as I heard that Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was to be released on the Nintendo Switch, I knew instantly that this would be one of those games. Travis Strikes Again: NMH, in all of its raunchiness and straight-up adults-only dialogue, on the family-oriented Nintendo Switch? It just didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t. But you know what, that might just be one of the best things about it. Confused? As you will come to learn, confusion is just ...
Read MoreVideo: What Happens When Peachette Saves Peach?
When Nintendo re-launched New Super Mario Bros U into it's deluxe form, they not only brought all of the original game plus New Super Luigi U onto one cartridge, but also included a brand new character, obtained by bringing Toadette to her final and most powerful form: Peachette. While some consider Peachette to be a cheat of sorts - which we cannot understand and talk about here - many are really enjoying using her throughout their adventures.

Read MoreNo, Playing as Toadette / Peachette is not ‘Cheating’
The Internet can be a cesspool of negativity and hateful rhetoric, and while it's inevitable with politics and religion, it's always disappointing when that creeps into the video game world as well. The latest string of stupidity on the Internet stems from the launch of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, a remake of the Wii U game of the same name, with the inclusion of New Super Luigi U and one other important game play mechanic: the ability to play as Toadette / Peachette.
Read MoreThe Premium Price for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is Justified
It's fun to have unpopular opinion on the Internet because it can generate discussion, and while I imagine the abuse might pour in over this article, I still think it's something we should discuss. The premium price being charged for New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is justified in my opinion, for a few reasons, most importantly the recouping of costs put into the original production and the total package value between New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U.
