We enter April with the world seemingly stuck in a standstill as the novel Coronavirus spreads through continents, paralyzing our daily activities, and bringing the economy to its knees. As with everything else regarding COVID-19, the gaming industry has not been immune to the damage. Cancellation of events, delays of highly anticipated titles, and the…
The Switch is, or at least in my personal experience has become the machine of choice for large RPG adventures. The ability to play large games in chunks anywhere and at different times thanks to portability and the ease of a touch of a button “sleep” mode has made playing massive games quite an enjoyable,…
“Time is a Valuable Thing…” In the words of the legendary band, Linkin Park, time is truly a valuable thing. Perhaps, truly the most valuable gift of all. Time is always cruel, it never stops “ticking life away” (another LP reference), which makes both N64 Zelda entries special, and dark titles in comparison (Twilight Princess…

The development is interesting considering that Nintendo does sell a Pro controller already and the biggest issue with the Joy Cons has been the “Drift” malfunction that has plagued some of them. The slight…

By late 2000 rumors were that Sega would pullout of the Hardware business, and they did in 2001-02 effectively killing the Dreamcast. We won’t go in depth today into…
I will start this review off by admitting that I didn’t play Dark Souls back when it was originally released on 360/PS3. My first experience with the game has been the Dark Souls remastered edition for the Nintendo Switch which consequently is the subject of this review. I will always remember 2011 as a sad…
After a wave of rumors suggesting the imminent announcement of both a powered up Switch and a Lite version of it, Nintendo finally announced the lite version of its flagship system complete with a release date and price point. The Nintendo Switch Lite will release on September 20th, 2019 at a price point of $199.99…
