Each pillar of Slay the Princess builds upon itself, to create one of the most gripping and memorable gaming experiences I’ve had in a very long time.

The latest entry in the monster rancher series injects a unique twist – instead of raising human sized monsters, you raise skyscraper sized Kaiju, specifically ones from the various different Ultraman series!

Ever since the abrupt finale of Ash VS. Evil Dead, I’ve longed for something, anything to continue and finally conclude Ash Williams’ battle against the forces of evil and the Necronomicon. So, you can imagine my excitement when a video game based on the franchise was announced, and that the original stars of the series were returning to lend their voices and likenesses to the experience.

Pokémon has been something I’ve loved from a very young age, and to see them up close and personal with modern day graphics is truly wonderful to behold. For the original game, the novelty came in simply seeing Pokémon in 3D for the first time. But New Pokémon Snap takes full advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s hardware to render both the Pokémon and the world they live in in detail unseen before.

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game is, in my opinion, one of the greatest beat-em-up games ever made. It follows the same plot of the 2010 film, but more so than that, it’s an adaptation of the original comics, with expressive, detailed pixel art throughout every level and character sprite. This game is a profound revisit to my childhood.

If you’re a Nintendo fan like I am, 2020 has been a phenomenal year. Whether they’re indies or AAA titles, video games have never been better. I sincerely hope that these games get the awards they deserve at The Game Awards…

I believed that there were no bad games, only that I wasn’t playing them right. One of the people that helped me realize that games can be poorly made was James Rolfe, AKA The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN). He’s made an entire career yelling and swearing at games that made his blood boil. Now, things have come full circle, with the AVGN starring in a game collection of his very own….

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has absolutely helped to keep me happy in this difficult time, and I truly can’t thank this franchise enough for that, but will I continue to play, even after COVID-19 is behind us?

Since 1985, one name has stood high in video games, and endured longer than any of them: Mario. The plumber is so well known that even people who don’t know about video games know who he is!!! How is it that, a plumber, who hops on turtles for a living managed to survive the gaming evolution?…. it’s no exaggeration to say that Mario has had a substantial hand in shaping video games throughout the years, from the ‘80s to the present day….HAPPY MAR10 DAY!!!

Ultimate is by far the best looking the Smash Bros. series has ever been, with characters popping thanks to the realistic yet still cartoony looking designs. I got the game when most people did, on release day, December 7th, 2018 and my friends and I wasted no time, and played the game practically all weekend. While we played, I came to appreciate just how great this game is...

Since buying a Nintendo Switch, I’ve played two more roguelike games: Has-Been Heroes and Into the Breach. Yet, for being games in the same genre, I had very different reactions to both these games. I’ve given it a lot of thought, and in playing these games, I believe I’ve realized something: there’s a right way and a wrong way to create roguelike video games.

The Switch is the first console ever made to be both a home console, and a portable, handheld one. This gives the Switch a unique position – it’s not a high end console you can only play at home like the Playstation 4, or a portable system that has a tiny screen like the old original Nintendo 3DS. Instead, it’s a fusion of both.
