Read MoreSuper Mario Party Review
Although I've always enjoyed the Mario Party franchise - mostly because it allows all my family to come together for one great evening of gaming - the past few releases in the franchise have been a bit subpar for me.

With a refreshed look at the franchise, can Nintendo ...
Read MoreXenoblade Chronicles: Torna -The Golden Country Review Part 2
Check out part 1 of my review-in-progress. In part 2, I talk about Torna’s battle system. I’ve already said that its better than Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s system. Why is that? How do you improve on something that is already so good? I’m usually not a fan of auto-attacking combat but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 made their battle system very interesting by giving players options when it came to special attacks for your main person and sometimes other people in your group.…

Armed with turn-based tactical rpg gameplay, Super Dungeon Tactics invaded the Nintendo Switch last week. I have a review copy of it and I’m finally ready to let you know whether or not you should check out this game. Is Super Dungeon Tactics worth visiting? The story in Super Dungeon Tactics isn’t that great. Its very basic actually. What saves it from being boring is the game’s sense of humor! The character dialogue is pretty funny. The story and dialogue…

Ever wanted to sink a shot from so far downtown, you might not even be on the basketball court anymore? Think of those viral videos of Lebron James lobbing full court shots in practice, throw in some opposition players, and a close score of 97-94, and you've got the makings of an exciting finish. Although full court shots won't be a prerequisite for scoring a 4 point shot, it does paint a nice picture, doesn't it?
