As the culture of gaming looks ever forward, innovating in both game design and technology, certain genres tend to be lost to time. From collectathon 3D platformers, to silly FMV titles, to arcade styled beat ‘em ups, certain types of games simply aren’t made anymore — unless it’s in the…
We unbox the new, massive Detective Pikachu amiibo and play the game in our latest video!

Normally, I feel pretty neutral or even outright annoyed when it comes to Legendary Pokémon. Once caught they’re thrown in the box, a checked off spot on the Pokédex even with their known power. Not Lugia though. This Psychic seabird was one of my favorites back in Gen II thanks…

Out of left field, when Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido was announced at E3 last year, some weren’t impressed. The zany idea of battling over and with sushi needed time to sink in. Now? That may all change. Perhaps due to not seeing the game since then and coupled…
