There were so many jaw-dropping announcements from today's Nintendo Direct that some simply slipped through the cracks. We've covered most of the biggest stories from the event already, but there were two game confirmations that tickled me ...
Resident Evil 2, both the original and its excellent remake, are two of the scariest games ever made. They're both fraught with tension, paranoia, and moments that chill you to the bone. They're scary, but are they scarier than the robot sc...
Even though it's one of the more niche franchises on the market, it's difficult for me to name a series more synonymous with dual-screen gaming than Etrian Odyssey. Starting as an easy-to-overlook, classic RPG on the Nintendo DS, the series...
Several days ago, a question came across my Twitter feed asking me to name an average game I absolutely adore. It was difficult for me to answer because I don't very much consider any game I adore to be average. Breath of the Wild's not ave...
I have to admit my perception of Devolver Digital has been somewhat limited. Until just last week, I primarily knew the company for its candy-cane colored logo with the old-west font, its ostentatious E3 presentations featuring Chief S...

Animal Crossing on mobile seemed like a sure bet when Nintendo announced it. The title would serve as the third game in the company’s mobile pillar. The series has a massive casual fan base that can be quite obsessive about it and I t...
I go through a lot of mobile games on my phone, playing some for just a few hours while others keep me busy for days at a time, but no game has been able to capture my time and attention the way Fire Emblem Heroes has. I know it's...
The console space is all but locked up at this point with the three major manufacturers enjoying a stranglehold on the industry. Sure, there are attempts at alternatives, like the ill-fated Ouya, and I guess the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV ...
It is with great remorse and sadness that I confirm today, January 30, 2019, the Wii Shop Channel has closed its doors. Launching less than a month after the Wii’s debut, the channel started small with Virtual Console titles before ex...
