Tokyo Mirage Sessions *(TMS) is the love child of both Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) and Nintendo's Fire Emblem (FE) series. True to the weirdness of SMT, our cast is thrown into a world of weird that only they really see while everyone simply walks on by. While trying to maintain the fast...

Like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess before it, Breath of the Wild almost didn't release on the console that it was originally intended for. Unlike Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild actually released side by side with the newest console and its version of the title. Was it worth it to...

Xenoblade Chronicle X is the latest title from developer Monolith Soft, who brought us such wonderful titles as: the Xenosaga trilogy, Xenoblade Chronicles, Soma Bringer, Xenogears (before they left Square), and Baten Kaitos. Having played only around ten minutes of the first Xenoblade...

Yoshi might not be the draw that Mario is for Nintendo, but the little guy has a pretty solid history and Yoshi's Woolly World continues that trend nicely. Visually Yoshi's Woolly World is a delight and the levels are often creative and most importantly, fun - even if it really is nothing all that...

Where do you go when you dream at night? What fantastic creatures and unearthly places do you forget the moment you open your eyes? For Alice, her dreams bring her through beautiful landscapes filled with interesting characters, monsters and puzzles. This girl has one heck of an imagination and a...

It's Super Mario! I would have killed for something like this when I was a kid. I always had a tendency to latch onto games with creation elements, and that really has not changed over the years. Super Mario Maker is almost exactly what I wanted thirty years ago. Better late than never! I have...

Indie titles are often plagued with sprite graphics, and I use the word plagued in the most reverent way; being a huge fan of them, but The Adventures of Pip takes that ball and runs in an entirely different direction with it.  The smooth sprites in this game leave you feeling quite out of...

Whenever you have a video game based on some other property, you have to wonder how it will hold up. Is it a quick cash-in on a familiar name or face? The number of crummy super hero games out there is too much to count. Thankfully Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures would manage to be a an enjoyable...

My Style Studio: Notebook is not a game in the traditional sense. There are no bosses, no levels or really any kind of structure to it at all. It is more of an application, but it is the type of program that feels like a perfect fit for the Wii U. This is all about free form creativity - the...
