REVIEW

Horizon Chase Turbo (Switch)

Horizon Chase Turbo on Nintendo Switch is a racing game that truly feels like a modern update of the SNES racer Top Gear (no relation to the British TV show). In fact, it feels so much like a modern Top Gear game that I can’t properly review this game without first talking about... (read more)

REVIEW

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch)

From the start, it was clear that New Horizons was not going to be a typical, traditional Animal Crossing game. The old routine of moving into a town already populated by 5-6 animal villagers (and working at Tom Nook’s shop) has been thrown overboard, in favor of starting from scratch on a deserted island.

REVIEW

Actraiser Renaissance (Switch)

First unveiled in a September Nintendo Direct, Actraiser Renaissance is a remake of the 1990s hidden gem ActRaiser. Just as in the SNES original, you play as a god that looks over six lands. There are two distinct types of gameplay: Hack-and-slash action stages and a town-building... (read more)

REVIEW

REVIEW

Katamari Damacy Reroll (Switch)

This is a remake of the quirky PlayStation 2 game Katamari Damacy. As a tiny prince, you roll around a sticky ball called a katamari. As you roll the katamari over small objects, you pick them up and your katamari grows in size...allowing you to pick up bigger and bigger... (read more)

REVIEW

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)

Link is free to explore the vast, expansive world in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. To call the game huge is an understatement. The world is colossal, easily dwarfing every other Zelda game by a wide margin. And that... (read more)

REVIEW

Disney Magical World 2 (3DS)

Disney Magical World 2, much like the first game, has a variety of gameplay styles merged into one game loaded with Disney characters. There are action stages, there are rhythm-based dancing mini-games, there is a cafe you operate... (read more)

REVIEW

NBA Jam (Wii)

This is an updated version of the 1990s arcade-style basketball game, in which there are very few rules. No fouls are called, and shoving opponents is part of the game. Sink three shots in a row... (read more)

REVIEW

Tetris Party (Wii)

This WiiWare version of the classic puzzle game allows up to four players to compete at once. The standard Tetris mode is fun, but Tetris Party is far from perfect. For some reason, each player in... (read more)

REVIEW

WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase (Wii)

Like other games in the WarioWare series, this is a collection of simple "microgames" that make use of Wario's quirky sense of humor. Each microgame... (read more)
