I often approach sequels with a bit of trepidation. A fair number have either been a disappointment in their own right or fell short due to overly high expectations. Fortunately, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of those happy cases where the sequel is just as good as, if not better, than…

Nintendo 64 Games Are Coming to the Switch…At a Cost
By now, Nintendo Switch Online sports a hefty collection of old-school titles from the NES and SNES, leaving us to ask, “So where are our 3D titles, Nintendo?” Well, we have finally received the long-awaited announcement that Nintendo 64 games will be made available on the Nintendo Switch. At an additional cost. Okay, awesome…wait, what…?
Ori and the Blind Forest: Aggravating, Yet Amazing
Yet another game on my backlog, I had never before heard of Ori and the Blind Forest until someone had requested we play it on our Youtube channel. Cary ended up taking on the responsibility of recording her playthrough of this amazing game, and as I watched her progress, I knew that this was a…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is Truly Charming
When I picked up Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle earlier this year, I knew I was in for a treat, but I had no clue of just how rewarding an experience it would be. The game had long been on my radar, but with so much else jockeying for my attention, it slowly faded from…
Valve Steam Deck is Already Back-Ordered into 2022
Late last Friday, Valve’s recently-announced Steam Deck system went up for pre-order.

However, this isn’t an upgrade in the same vein as upgrades for previous Nintendo consoles. In fact, it’s so in substantial that I can’t help but wonder who exactly this…
Switch Pro is Looking Much More Real, Is it Good Thing Though?
Rumors of a Switch Pro have been swirling around in some form for at least a year or so now, but they’ve never really proven to hold much water. That is, they didn’t until a few days ago. A listing for a Nintendo Switch Pro popped up on Amazon late last week, seemingly confirming the…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle First Impressions
In hindsight, I’m not sure if I picked the best or worst time to play Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Switch, 2017). When I got it a few weeks ago, I knew that Mass Effect Legendary Edition was in the wings, and I was already headlong into my Mass Effect: Andromeda replay. As well, Neverwinter…
The First Tree is Something Truly Special
The First Tree is an interesting sort of game that I have to approach a bit differently than I would my usual game reviews. The big difference here is…The First Tree is not really a video game. It is, but it’s not. It’s more like an interactive story than anything else. So if it’s a…
