During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
At the end of Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out, there’s a special global event that all Trainers can partake in. Not quite a GO Fest or Tour, the GO Wild Area event is pulling some inspiration from the Safari Zone, but with a spotlight on Electric- and Poison-type Pokémon….

As Simon Belmont’s illegitimate son and lifelong protégé of Dr. Light, to say I’m a mega fan of the blue burrower would be a gross understatement. A love letter to many of the 8-bit classics near and dear to my heart, Shovel Knight proved a massive feat of gaming ingenuity…
I was one of the many who sneered upon hearing the name “Snipperclips” for the first time. It was a name that evoked the sort of Wii-era shovelware that anybody would turn their nose up at — a cheap and unpolished game aimed at kids to make a quick buck….
When it comes to multiplayer there are few games that can boast as lasting and consistent a legacy as Bomberman. The overall game design hasn’t changed much in the last 33 years and with good reason: it still works incredibly well. There’s an inherent madness that comes along with a…
One of my favorite genres on handheld platforms is rhythm – Elite Beat Agents was in my DS cart slot for months at a time, and I’d still argue Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is one of the best 3DS games out there. It’s not like I’m a music buff…
Disclaimer: this review was completed using a New 3DS. Game may perform differently on older models. Game developer Good-Feel captured my heart almost immediately with its work on Kirby’s Epic Yarn. The unique visual design and gentle aesthetic provided a light but enjoyable game experience, made all the better because…
Back in 2005, the Dragon Quest series was relatively unknown in America, especially when compared to its overwhelming popularity in Japan. All of that changed thanks to Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King becoming a hit on the PlayStation 2 worldwide, giving some well deserved renown to the…
Super Mario Run represents a lot of firsts for Nintendo. Not only is it the company’s first real mobile game, but it’s also Nintendo’s first effort as a third party developer. This is a company that has always been very protective of both its hardware and software; so the idea…
Last year’s Super Mario Maker on Wii U was nothing short of revolutionary. The love child of Super Mario All-Stars and Mario Paint, it proved a unique celebration of Nintendo’s most iconic mascot that let gamers play, create and share their very own Mario levels. In many ways, it was…
Disclaimer: Two games, two reviews! The review below covers Pokémon Moon only. The overall score will be the same for both games. My journey through the Pokémon world started with Pokémon Yellow, and since my fifth birthday when I got my hands on the game, I’ve been completely enthralled. Pokémon…
Disclaimer: Two games, two reviews! The review below covers Pokémon Sun only. The overall score will be the same for both games. When I first played Pokémon Red Version and set off with my Charmander way back when, it resonated with me on a level not many games could. I…
Disclaimer: This review covers a PAL region (European) copy of the game. It’s no secret that the Mario Party series has strayed from the path over the last few years. Mario Party 9 and Mario Party 10 wandered perhaps a little too far from the path with their changes to…
Japanese developer Falcom (Ys, Legend of Heroes) is a minor legend among JRPG fans. It’s been around for a long time, but it hasn’t really surpassed cult status in the West, due to the relative obscurity of most of their titles. But every now and then, one of its games…
