Wonder is the sense of amazement or admiration that comes from something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamiliar. When we use the word, we often attribute it to the celestial sights, or to a child’s first experiences, however benign. It’s a word thrown around too easily with the adjective “wonderful”, and the...

It’s well documented to the point of being a meme that licensed games from the 90s were their own special kind of hell. As fondly as we look back at The Lion King, Aladdin or even Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers, we can easily now find evidence that we were...

When Forever Entertainment released Front Mission 1st: Remake last year, it was a great exercise in a publisher bringing a series to the West in a new light. While there had been the DS version of Front Mission years ago, many people never experienced the series in any real capacity....

Nobunaga’s Ambition was one of the first NES games that I came across that truly baffled me as a child. For the most part, I associated my time with video games to be one of relaxation, stimulation and excitement in a variety of fields. To be able to run and...

1-2-Switch is one of the most divisive games in the Switch’s stunningly long catalog. As a launch title, it made sense: an opportunity for new adopters to get a feeling for what the Switch’s capabilities were. It was a party game that was playable by almost anyone and utilized so...

Ghost Trick was, bar none, one of my favorite games for the Nintendo DS. Clever, engrossing and amazingly compelling, it’s one of the few titles that I played where I forsook anything else on my DS for a period of weeks. Normally I can toggle between multiple games to help...

It’s important to pursue your dreams, any teacher or parent will tell you that right up until they actually hear what your dream is. It’s easy for adults to encourage children when they think children are having the same dreams they did: become a doctor, a basketball player, an insurance...

HEY, YOU. Yeah, you with the face and the shirt. Are you tired of your video games giving you meaning and fulfillment? Do you squirm with discomfort at the notion of feeling like you’re making progress? Put down the bells and turnips, your villagers hate you, and Tom Nook is...

Being able to celebrate a truly fantastic game is something that brings around people from all walks of life. We only just cracked the seal on Tears of the Kingdom before the world became awash in Diablo IV, Street Fighter 6, and Farming Simulator 23. Additionally, when a game is...
