This is going to be one of a few video games that I will be reviewing this week, and I will have to say that I wish I had more time to play Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim. The issue with video games is that there is never enough time to play the games you want, and games that require a lot of time take a lot of time to get used to. Such is the case for the epic open-world … [Read more...] about Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim

A Conversation with Renee Gittins, creator of Potions: A Curious Tale
Yesterday, I had a terrific conversation with Renee Gittins, and she is the founder of Stumbling Cat, who created this very cool game known as Potions: A Curious Tale. Before I talk about my talk with Renee, I want to talk about this game. Potions: A Curious Tale is about a girl named Luna, who is this young witch who apparently majored in Potions at Hogwarts. Okay, … [Read more...] about A Conversation with Renee Gittins, creator of Potions: A Curious Tale
The Recent Overwatch Controversy and why it is good and bad for video games overall
See that post there? As much as I like to avoid anything questionable on my website, I do have to address the question. That being whether or not this particular character from Blizzard's new game Overwatch, Tracer is in a hypersexualized pose. Apparently, this is some kind of victory pose from this character, and I don't know that much about this game to know what this … [Read more...] about The Recent Overwatch Controversy and why it is good and bad for video games overall
Our Gaming Review of Epistory-Typing Chronicles
Every once in a while, I try out some new game on Steam, and I have to admit that I have found a new favorite. Since I have to make good use of my time, I can only try out a game for a little while before I have to write a review. Usually, an hour or so is good enough to get a good idea for the game, and then I stop. In this case, I found a hard time stopping. … [Read more...] about Our Gaming Review of Epistory-Typing Chronicles
Nintendo to cease production on Wii U by the end of this year
I'm pretty certain that I have stated before that Nintendo's days might be numbered. Yes, I have a Wii U, and maybe you do to. The issue is that only 12 million of these units have sold, and the original Wii sold over 100 million. Yeah, the Wii U seems like a failure in comparison, which is why it shouldn't come to any surprise that Nintendo is ceasing production of the … [Read more...] about Nintendo to cease production on Wii U by the end of this year

Our Review of the Roccat Ryos MK FX Gaming Keyboard
So, I always love reviewing ROCCAT products, and this is the Ryos MK FX. This is one of those gaming keyboards designed for those that are professional MMO gamers or just those who really want to play those games better than I do. One of the things that I love about this is the colors, I can tell you that much, and with a certain application, it is good for 16.8 million … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Roccat Ryos MK FX Gaming Keyboard
Our Game Review of Assault Android Cactus
I will have to say that Assault Android Cactus is a twin-stick shooter game. If you aren't familiar with twin-sticks, there was a terrific stand-up arcade game known as Robotron 2084 that is a good example of this. They boil down to one joystick does the moving does the firing. From what I remember, these twin-stick shooter games can be very confusing as one hand moves … [Read more...] about Our Game Review of Assault Android Cactus
Our Review of Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends
I was quite pleased to try out Little Orbit and Dreamworks Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends. Yes, that redundancy of that tile is deliberate. I will be honest in saying that I'm not really into brawler games. When I showed Showdown of Legendary Legends to my son, he compared it to Super Smash Brothers. I suppose that is the biggest thing to compare it to, … [Read more...] about Our Review of Kung Fu Panda Showdown of Legendary Legends
Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
You can see by the unnecessarily drawn-out title of this game that it is just so full of awesome. At least, it is trying to be, but I will have to be the judge of whether or not it succeeds with this review. The issue is that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut is actually a trilogy of 10 hour campaigns with various multiplayer modes, and it has sold over 1 … [Read more...] about Our Review of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing Final Cut
Our Review of Guitar Hero Live
Well, I had a chance to try out Activision's new Guitar Hero Live, and I will have to say that music games are back, baby. Some of you might remember when this peaked, back in the...last decade. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero made music a game, and even though the goal is a high score, you just don't want to mess up the music. I am pleased to say that I am having … [Read more...] about Our Review of Guitar Hero Live
Whispering Willows on the Wii U…Whee!
I had a really great chance to try out Whispering Willows, and I tried it out for the Wii U. Is there any reason why I said "Whee" in the title? Not only did I want to complete the alliteration with "W", but the game is a lot of fun. Now, this is a game that I don't think is supposed to be "fun" per se, as there are a lot of parts of this game that are pretty serious. … [Read more...] about Whispering Willows on the Wii U…Whee!
Skyhill Video Game: Survival by Point and Click
A while ago, I received an email for a Steam Code for a game called Skyhill. I receive a lot of Steam Codes per month, and I have reviewed a lot of games. I found myself liking this game, and the reason why I like it is because I wasn't certain what it was about. The game begins when a man checks into a hotel, and he is told that his room is safe from infection … [Read more...] about Skyhill Video Game: Survival by Point and Click
Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U
There is no real way of saying this other than just saying it: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is a cash-grab. The truth is that Nintendo realized once the Wii U came out that there wouldn't be another Legend of Zelda game for a while, but this is what fans wanted. I've said before how Nintendo just kind of makes its own rules and the fans just follow, but unlike … [Read more...] about Why I like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for the Wii U
Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
Some of you might remember a little game known as Monument Valley, and considering that it has been downloaded over 2.5 million times, it's hardly little. The makers of the game, Ustwo, is working on a game for virtual reality known as Land's End. Land's End was definitely inspired by the CD-Rom game Myst, and I'm not going to explain that reference. I've always loved … [Read more...] about Land’s End is a significantly cool VR game
