If you’ve already played the adventure game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons on another platform there’s not much in the story or in-game achievements to warrant another trip. Playing with a partner on the Nintendo Switch, however, creates a whole new experience that’s certainly worth sharing.Read More
Within the first 15 minutes of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age we get a majestic wedding, an epic battle, some sadness, some control instructions, and a betrayal. The game certainly starts with a bang, but can the remaster of this 13 year old game keep up the momentum on...
Full disclosure: I have not finished Mechstermination Force. I will, but it’s going to take some time. I've played more than enough, however, to tell you to get this game, get a partner if you can, and get ready to save the world. You’re going to frequently die trying, but...
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince tells a somewhat gentle fable of love and adventure with the underlying darkness you’d expect from a fairy tale, but your overall enjoyment will depend upon whether you prefer story or gameplay.Read More

With limited compatibility (especially in the west), it's been hard for Nintendo gamers to really get a grasp on the Tales series. Does Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition finally give us a solid grip now that it’s available worldwide for Nintendo Switch?Read More
Fitness Boxing
Fake boxing in front of the TV is not an alternative to the gym, but a good round of Fitness Boxing before a couple hours of Octopath Traveller is a really good (and surprisingly fun) idea.Read More
All the elements in Solar Flux combine for an attractive, calming, challenging, physics-based puzzler. The only trouble is that the Switch isn't the best way to play it.Read More
Sky Force Anniversary may be a “re-creation” of a nearly 15-year-old game, but it looks and plays like it was custom made for this generation’s systems.Read More
