Ten-Pin Bowling is one of my favourite activities. Few things are more entertaining than getting a group of people together and hitting the lanes. Especially when there’s party music and alcohol involved. Bowling is a lot of fun – a truly good night out! – when combined with a bar,…

I’ve yet to lose a match in Matchpoint Tennis, and that’s the game’s one substantial flaw. Unfortunately, that one issue effectively ruins it. What’s the point of a sports game that is so lacking in difficulty that there’s no risk of a loss? The entire genre is meant to be…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Real Boxing 2 doesn’t belong on the Nintendo Switch… or any other console. It’s not completely unplayable, but it offers nothing more than the worst edges of the mobile game grind, with absolutely no depth nor reason to worth through the feels like the kind of…

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Nintendo’s latest Mario Golf game has now landed! Mario Golf: Super Rush is a delight, blending excellent standard golf, with some really entertaining, manic “party” games and ways to play. What’s more, the game has a story mode that is just gorgeous, and looks like it…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. You’ve got to feel genuinely sorry for Japan. The Olympics was such a big deal and source of pride for the country, and for it to be trashed completely by a once-in-a-century pandemic is a cruelty that the country didn’t deserve. Nonetheless, the Olympics are going…
Read MoreReviews by Matt S. Just before Easter, Apple dropped a big pile of new games on the Apple Arcade. Almost enough to count it as a “re-launch,” at it came at just the right time. I had been planning on ending the subscription, as I hadn’t really found a reason…
