Review by Matt S. Modern Disney is the dominant source of American entertainment, but its various pivots and acquisitions on the path to being the king of film and television content has left it a very pale shadow of the creative outfit it once was, when it was synonymous with…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. As the name would indicate, BurgerTime Party! is an updated take on the classic game that released all the way back in 1982. A lot of the same elements make their return, but with some jazzed up visuals, music and stage layouts. This is not the…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Crash Team Racing is an absolute delight. It’s clearly not easy to do a really great kart racer, and Mario Kart hasn’t had real competition for quite a while now, but Crash here changes all that. Excellent tracks, brilliant characters, wonderful design… this game has it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. What a delight Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is. For whatever reason it has proven to be hard for developers to even compete with Mario Kart, sitting high on its kart-racing party game pedestal, and while Crash Team Racing doesn’t quite get there, it’s the closest anyone…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a Mario Party title this much. The last couple of iterations have been wildly experimental in some ways, almost to the point of doing away with the very board game foundation that attracted me to the series right back…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Party games are in a weird spot on the Nintendo Switch at the moment. The console is ready-made for them with its portability and ease of sharing controllers, and developers of all kinds have answered the call. Chiki Chiki Boxy Racers falls square into this category…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I’ve now played Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch. Never mind that the preview session featured an earlier version that didn’t include the recently-announced King K Rool and Simon Belmont. This might have been the same version of the game that plenty of people…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe is the kind of game that you play for a while, enjoy it while it lasts, and then, a few weeks later, forget that you’ve ever played it. It’s a game that commits no crime against game development, but neither does…
