Super Mario Maker is an incredible game that feels somehow anti-Nintendo. Released on the Wii U in 2015, I’m still shocked that the Big N gave players most of the tools they needed to create their dream Super Mario levels. The Switch sequel takes things further, but what if Nintendo…
As time goes on and game developers continue to try to push the limits of what’s possible, games are becoming much more impressive. From immersive sound design to beautiful graphics and more, there’s a lot of work that goes into modern games. That all being said, older titles weren’t primitive…

The delightful series of Lego video games from TT games kicked off all the way back in 2005 with Lego Star Wars, a sillier, more kiddy rendition of arguably the most beloved film franchise of all-time. It’s kept going strong since then, now culminating in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker…
