games are fun, so let's talk about them
Links-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact This past Wednesday, August 8, 2018 Nintendo released a Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct. It revealed many features of the upcoming Smash Bros. game to be released in December. Since I was on vacation at the time, I couldn’t cover this news in a timely fashion. Even so, I want to cover as many of […]
Read More Nintendo News: Smash Bros. Ultimate DirectLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact Have you ever played a video game and thought, “Why doesn’t the main character have something neat to say?” I know many games have this sort of main character. Throughout the entire game, they say absolutely nothing. This is all the more unusual, as most media (TV, movies, books, etc.) almost never do this. […]
Read More Blank Slate Characters in Video GamesLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact There are a few different models of how to monetize video games. There are the games you pay full price at retail, the kind you pay full price before you download, and there are free to play games, (sometimes called free to start), where the game is a free download, but some content can […]
Read More Good or Bad: Free to Play GamesLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact Almost anyone who has played most games these days has heard of DLC. DLC is short for downloadable content, and is purchased online to add new features to a video game. Now, if you are like me, you would be weary of the idea of paying more money for games that are already expensive […]
Read More Opinion: My Thoughts on DLCLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact So I am a man of eclectic tastes. Some things I like are popular and well-known, others are rarer finds. In some cases, I like really weird entertainment, while other strange stories are too weird for me. In this case I’m writing about a strange author that is relatively popular known as Terry Pratchett. […]

There’s always one of those players who wants to make your gaming experience miserable. Maybe it is personal, due to you winning, maybe they treat every player this way, but it is hard to ignore that the gaming world has just enough toxic […]
Read More How to Address Toxic PlayersLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact So this weekend, I had watched the live stream of the 2018 Pokemon North American International Championship, which took place in Columbus, Ohio. According to the commentators, there were around 2,000 competitors across the video game, trading card game, and Pokken Tournament games throughout the event. This also includes players in three age divisions […]
Read More A Look at The 2018 Pokemon NAICLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact Okay, before I begin, I would like to say I usually don’t like sports video games. Why play a digital sport when you can play it in real life? You even get more exercise, have more fun, get to spend time with friends, all in one if you play the sport in person. One […]
Read More Review: Mario Tennis Aces (Switch)Links-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact Pokemon can be fun. It features hundreds of unique collectible monsters, and best yet, you can trade or battle them with your friends. Without the option to play this type of game with others, this series might have been a fad, and may not have led to as many competing monster collection games/TV shows/card […]
Read More Fixing Pokemon’s Competitive GameLinks-Home–Reviews–Articles–Library–Contact Well, somewhat recently I had seen a post about what your favorite Zelda game says about you. In it, it was suggested that Phantom Hourglass was among the worst in the series. In my experience, most if not all Zelda games are at least good games. However, it has been a while since I […]
