I've never owned a Roomba. Either my surface area isn't big enough to warrant using a robot to clean it (a dorm) or I've opted to just deep clean my floors myself in tandem with my wife. There really is no middle ground in my life for a Roo...

Look, it's kind of impossible to tell what age Mewtwo is exactly within the confines of the Pokemon universe. But if you roll with me and use Mewtwo's birthday of February 6 and birth year of 1996, when the first Pokemon game was released i...

Niantic is giving Pokémon Go players a proper chance to catch the shiny variant of Meltan, one of the series' newest and most huggable critters. It's only a slightly different shade and the tail is just blue instead of red, but still...

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun is...pretty fun! Released early last year in Japan and in late 2018 worldwide, the little Switch rhythm game that could (be localized) allowed us to enjoy the ancient art of drumming with anime characters in ...

More familiar faces from the Sinnoh region have started entering Pokémon Go, but it's not as simple as finding them while gallivanting around town. You're going to need to stock up on some dreaded items. Niantic has added Poké...

Here's a jolt of good news for Pokemon fans, even if it might leave some of them thunderstruck. Detective Pikachu has sparked so much interest that production company Legendary Pictures is trying to capture lightning&nbs...

Things are fairly quiet on all fronts when it comes to the post-Holiday UK Charts. While the stores no doubt feverishly wait for Capcom's Resident Evil 2 and Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts III, a selection of great titles jostle around the To...

I'm still reeling from the first Detective Pikachu trailer. It has a dark, off-kilter, extreme-close-up vibe I didn't see coming, and while I haven't completely reconciled the movie's tone with the property's usual squeaky clean image, I'm ...

Nintendo is no stranger to crossovers (I mean just look at Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which has Final Fantasy and Pokemon in the same arena), but you can always leave it to fans to comb everything that the company has missed over...

It might be a fairly quiet period for gaming in this post-Holiday period, but that sometimes allows for titles that would otherwise have to fight through busier periods to simply saunter into the top spot. Case in point: New Super Mario Bro...

I completely forgot Nanoblocks existed (which is easy to do since they're based and mostly sold out of Japan), but after 30 minutes of research I kind of want a bunch of them. I'm sure our kid will grow up crafting tons of Lego-esque creati...

As I've said many times recently, Pokemon Go is still making money around the world and people are still playing it. So, Niantic will continue to support it as it basically steals the AR hunting crown from everyone else (it's hard to believ...

The Pokedex has become an international symbol over the past few decades or so. While the look is pretty iconic (sorry Aiden Pearce, actually iconic) the voice that goes along with it, popularized by the TV show, is also burned into my...
