"If a game isn't fun, why bother?"
That is a quote I didn't think about too much when Reggie first said. After playing Elden Ring, I understand the true meaning behind those words. Elden Ring is, simply put, one of the most unfun, infuriating, not worth it gaming experiences I've ever had and I gave it my all, I gave it the best I could give it. Being someone who is a huge fan of the Souls franchise, I was eager to see the next evolution of what FS is capable of. Instead I got the great ga
Quick Review: Splatoon 2 (Nintendo Switch)
This is a game that doesn't earn its praise, nor does it deserve it. While the base gameplay concept is fine and dandy, that is shooting ink everywhere and all that jazz, the actual PvP experience here is dreadful. You might think this game's whole point is ink spreading, but because of the maps and overall design, you will run into others constantly and the actual shooting mechanics show their true colors (pun?) within this combat. Aiming is horri

SUPER. HOT. These are two words you will be saying after playing this game. SUPERHOT is a First Person Shooter, but not like you have ever played.

2015 was an odd year for Nintendo. While we received greatness like Bayonetta 2, Nintendo decided to experiment with much greedier concepts. One of these was Amiibo Festival. The other, was Nintendo Badge Arcade. An awesome looking concept on paper that is foiled by greed.

The original Eye of Judgment game on the PS3 was what I would consider an experiment gone wrong. It tried to combine a collectible card game WITH a video game as its battlefield. This sounds like a great idea on paper, but it turned out to be an over

For many, video games are a great escape. There are many times where life really isn't fun and we just want to play a game to escape from that reality for a short time. Now what about a game that loosely simulates life and goes in real time? That could never work! Well, Nintendo made it work and it was awesome.
