Wayforward’s Shantae is a action/adventure/platformer that has appeared on the 3DS, Wii U, and other platforms too. I have reviewed and played a few of these games and they are always good. The newest Shantae game, Half-Genie Hero, will be coming out this month! Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will be coming out on December 20th! According to the Kickstarter page for the game, it will be released for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PSVita for that game for sure. They…

Nintendo’s BoxBoy, a downloadable game for the 3DS eshop, has seen two games already. BoxBoy is created by Hal Laboratory, the creators of Kirby. The unique puzzle platformer is an example of another new franchise from Nintendo. And last night, Nintendo announced a third game for the character! Not only that, but a BoxBoy amiibo was announced too. Currently, these are both just for Japan, but we may see them in the West eventually. Check out the details about the…

Thomas Hopper is an indie developer for the Wii U (and other systems). He created a really good puzzle adventure game called Factotum for the Wii U. I liked it a lot. I thought his second game was a mixed bag, but still considered him to be an excellent developer for the Wii U. And now Thomas has another game for the system: Octocopter: Super Sub Squid Escape. He gave me a review copy of the game and I’ve been…

Steel Series is a leading innovator in the pc and console hardware marketplace, and the quality of their products has always been top notch. We have looked at a ton of Steel Series products over the last year, and almost always have really enjoyed using them. A few months ago we reviewed the Apex 800 keyboard from Steel Series, and really loved it. Not everyone has the funds to purchase that model, however, so we decided to look at a model a step down, the Apex 500 keyboard.

I’m a huge fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I have thought for awhile now that there should be a video game of the franchise. And now, finally, there is going to be a video game! Last night developer Telltale revealed a Guardians of the Galaxy game is coming. Guardians of the Galaxy will get its own video game thanks to Telltale Games. The game will be multiple episodes and be coming to PC, consoles, and mobile devices.…

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be coming out in March next year. That doesn’t mean Nintendo can’t endlessly tease the game though! During The Game Awards last night, a new trailer was shown for the game. We have the trailer and my thoughts on it below. The new Breath of the Wild trailer is amazing! We’ve seen so much footage of the new Zelda game so far. I’m sure there are some people who think there is…

Last night, during The Game Awards, a new trailer for The Walking Dead: A New Frontier was revealed. We have that trailer, plus some more information about the game!

Check out the message we received from the developer, Telltale, for more information: ” Fellow Survivors, Today we can share a first-ever extended first look at The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier, the all-new…

The Game Awards happens every year. Originally, the program aired on Spike TV, but now it just airs online. Last years Game Awards wasn’t too good, but this years program might be a little more special. Check out what we know about the Game Awards below! The Game Awards will air tonight (12/1) at 5:30 PT. You’ll be able to find it here, also youtube should have it too. I didn’t care for last years awards. There wasn’t too many…

The Dwarves is one of the few games that actually began as a book, and from what I've heard - and read myself - the transition from book to screen has been done incredibly well. As I get near completing book one in the series, I realise more and more how much work THQNordic put into recreating this fantasy adventure into a game. Unfortunately, slow pacing and severe hiccups ultimately hinder the ability to really enjoy this very promising title.

One of the complaints about the NES Classic Edition, even before it came out, was that the controller cord looked too small. Why couldn’t Nintendo just make the controller cordless? Well, Nintendo didn’t do that, but a third party developer will be releasing a wireless NES Classic controller soon! A company called 8bitdo will be releasing a wireless NES Classic controller called the NES30 Classic Edition Set on December 16th. Here is how the controller is described at Amazon: ”…
