On the cusp of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s launch, I find myself reflective of the series and where it’s led to today. Like many others, the structural departure from the series’ tried-but-true series of complex dungeons along a streamlined set of overworlds became long in the tooth by the time we … Continue reading Lowered Expectations – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Kukoos: Lost Pets (Switch) Review
One of the joys of covering new and upcoming games is finding works under the radar and discovering new experiences for my family to enjoy.

Card Shark (Switch) Review
Go Fish By Joel DeWitte Card shark grabbed my eyes the moment trailers started popping up. The concept of grifting the well-to-do by pulling off sleight of hand tricks in a game of cards is so novel (or at least, I haven’t seen it). It’s the most visually arresting game I’ve played all year. Each … Continue reading Card Shark (Switch) Review
