Randomly generated dungeons are nothing new. There have been a lot of games on PC and some on the Wii U and 3DS that use random dungeons for their games. I’m not saying this is a bad thing at all. In fact, I’m fond of the use of random dungeons and like seeing them added to a game. You just never know what monsters, equipment, and surprises you’ll find in randomly generated dungeons! So when I heard about a game…

Recore does so much that I don't like. Things get repetitive, the requirement to do lots of backtracking becomes a drag, and have to 100% the game just to see the ending drive be crazy. But there is something intriguing about the game that keeps pulling me in, first and foremost the graphics.

Mercenaries Saga 2 was one of the best tactical rpgs released on the 3DS eshop awhile back. The game reminded me a lot of Final Fantasy Tactics, while having its own unique story and battles too. I liked the game a bunch and hoped right away that there would be a Mercenaries Saga 3. The other day, I saw that Japan would be getting such a game next month. And today, Circle announced that Mercenaries Saga 3 would head west…

It should be obvious to you by now that I love video games. What might not be obvious, since I never write about it here, is that I’m also addicted to TV shows. I watch a lot of TV. Maybe too much TV. But there is currently one show that brings together my love of video games and my love of TV Shows! That show is called Halt and Catch Fire. I want to tell you about the show and…

Lego Dimensions is one of the most popular and biggest toys-to-life game currently on the market. And, as of today, the game is getting even better! Six new expansion packs were released for Lego Dimensions today. We have the details below! Have you ever wanted to play as a Ghostbuster, an A-Team member, or Harry Potter character in Lego Dimensions? If so, then today is your lucky day! Six expansion packs, including the characters mentioned above (and more), were released…

Let me preface this by saying I am indifferent about Ark: Survival Evolved. When I first played the game, I sat down with some friends to see what it was all about. I saw the appeal, but it never really hooked me like many other games have. That being said, I definitely don’t hate the game. I’m of the opinion that while I personally wouldn’t sink time into the game, I definitely see why others could. I also respect the…

If you loved playing Forza Horizon 2, picking up the next iteration of the franchise is a must own. With just enough new content to make things feel fresh, heading to Australia feels like a legitimate extension of the base they build in Forza Horizon 2.

A lot of people have been excited about Yooka-Laylee ever since it was announced (myself included). Yooka-Laylee is coming from a new company called Playtonic Games, which is made up of former RARE employees. Rare was the company that put together games like Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Donkey Kong 64, and more. Now these former Rare employees are putting together Yooka-Laylee, a 3D platformer in the same vain as the ones Rare did for the Nintendo 64. The game looks…

A few days ago, Paper Mario: Color Splash was accidentally leaked onto the eShop, and fully available for gamers to download. A lot of people took advantage, and there are hundreds of people doing play throughs already on Twitter. As of right now, we have no official comment from Nintendo on what they are planning to do about those playing the game early. Understandably, there probably is little they can do as the gaffe was a result of human error…

Usually each month we do a few unboxing and reviews of various subscription boxes. Unfortunately, we never got around to that with 1 UP Box because so many of the items inside were taken before I ever got the chance to open up the box. Fortunately, with a quick tweet on Twitter, I was awaiting a backup package from 1 Up Box with the items I was missing. Since we are now at the end of September, it seems a…
