Many of us received this title with our deluxe edition Wii U’s. Thus, it was our first experience with this bold new console. What’s great about this title is that it’s not just one game but actually 12 minigames! These can be our first glance at the much awaited piece of equipment, but there is one question to those that have yet to play this title:

How well does it show just what the Wii U can do? Keep reading for the review! -Ryan Baxter (more…)

We’ve seen quite a few eShop games over the years and also quite a few shooter games. This game, however, has a different quality about it. As you fly your spaceship around a small rock, a strange feeling overcomes you. But is Nano Assault Neo, a title not as well known as it could be, worth the money you spend to get it? Well, I look into that in this review. Read on to find out just what this game is! -Ryan Baxter (more…)

rise-guardians-santa-headerRise of the Guardians is actually a movie I would recommend checking out.  It’s got action, decent story, and sweet 3D visuals.  Looks like (as always) a slew of video games have been made to advertise the movie.  The cool thing about this version is that it’s the only one in 3D.  Just like the movie, right?  Um… just keep reading!  -Dallas B.

crashmo_112812_1600Are you looking for a good game to download from the eShop? Well I’m pretty sure you’re only willing to spend your money on a game that will keep you entertained. Maybe you have heard of the game Pushmo from one of your friends, and heard it’s a good game. Maybe you’ve played Pushmo, but you’re probably wondering the same thing, “Should I download Crashmo?”  This is exactly what this review will help you decide.

scribblenauts3dsReview_6105 years ago, the creative minds at 5th Cell made one of the most groundbreaking titles for Nintendo DS. This game was Scribblenauts. The straightforward, yet never before done concept of writing anything, and solving everything made this game a mega-hit from the start. This game was an excellent start to what is now a popular series on Wii U, 3DS, DS, iOS, and PC. Fast-forward to November 2012, when the third game in the series–Scribblenauts Unlimited–hit the United States. I’ve recently completed my adventure on the  Nintendo 3DS version, and have put together my thoughts on it after the break. Check it out! -Greg Boe (admin) (more…)

632942_20121121_640screen011As Gotham sleeps, the streets are protected by one masked vigilante, known as the Batman. As time passed, Batman put enough criminal scum away to fill all the available prisons, and so another facility was created. Arkham City, a town run by criminals. Could this game live up to the expectations set forth by the Dark Night movies? Keep reading to find out! -Ryan Baxter (more…)

Sometimes I want to play a game that’s fun, but won’t draw me in for hours on end, due to my eventful agenda.  When Nintendo sent us Crosswords Plus for the Nintendo 3DS eShop, I just knew it was the one.   Following a day of work, I downloaded the game and played for about 5 minutes, and then went home.  It’s the perfect game to play while waiting in line or riding the bus, due to the bite-sized portions of gameplay.  It’s a really enjoyable pick-up-and-play game, but how does it play in longer periods of time?

Let’s find out. -Greg Boe (admin) (more…)

Activision was nice enough to send us this awesome game, but my Wii recently broke (sad face).  It endured four years of vacations and parties, and I guess all good things come to an end sooner or later, right?  Anyways, I’m getting my Wii U today, so I’ll be good.  After about a week of staring at the starter pack of Skylanders Giants on my desk without a Wii to play it on, I called up my good friend Bobby (our latest editor), and he came over with his Wii and a crap-load of chicken and helped me get through the game.  If you’re trying to decide whether or not to pick up this game over the original, you’re going to want to read my analysis after the break! -Greg Boe (admin) (more…)

Being a fan of Pokèmon for the past couple years (estimating around 2-3 years) I have a had a lot of learning to do. For example, I always had a big problem on trying to figure out which type of moves were super effective and which moves were not so effective at all and also know at what levels the Pokèmon will evolve into the stronger Pokèmon. With the eShop download Pokèdex 3D Pro you will not have that problem either. -Bobby M. (more…)

Fun Fact: Music is my life.  Music has been an enormous part of my life since I was a kid, when my mom was in the music industry.  I went from just listening to music to composing music and writing lyrics, and have experience with both drums and bass.  When the Nintendo Wii was still young and new, I played Wii Music at Drew Taylor’s house, and had a blast.  Recently, I visited my favorite local game store, Media Rerun, and found Wii Music sitting there on the shelf.  Curious to see how different my reaction to the game would be at the end of the Wii’s life, I picked it up.  Does this game still have what it takes to attain the hearts of gamers, with the Wii U releasing this Sunday?  There’s only one way to find out… -Greg Boe (admin) (more…)
