REVIEW: Pokemon Unite – An Easy to Learn MOBA
When Pokemon Unite was revealed back in 2020, the fandom went on a rampage. Fast-forward nearly two years later, and the pocket monsters have their own version of League of Legends. The gameplay is exceptionally simplistic. Each match contains a fight between two teams of five players, using different fighters. There is an option of either playing randomly or having enough friends to form a squad. During these 10 minutes battles, each team needs to fight wild Pokemon and gather points to throw in the opposing team’s goalposts. While it is a requirement for every playable character, for characters like Venusaur, Gengar, or Greninja, those players start as the first…

REVIEW: New Pokemon Snap (Switch)
Pokemon is not a stranger when it comes to video game spinoffs. One of the many spinoffs that have been released over the years is a simple one, filled with charm, named Pokemon Snap on the Nintendo 64: an on-rail shooter with the objective of taking the photos of Pokemon. Although some monsters were open to some prime photography, others you had to lure out with bait and other tactics. Now, over 20 years later, The Pokemon Company, with the help of Bandai Namco, has released a long-awaited sequel named New Pokemon Snap for The Nintendo Switch. Instead of Professor Oak, the player helps the newly introduced Professor Mirror who…

5 Game Ports That Nintendo Should Do Next
We all have games of old that we’d like to to play again on a newer console. It’s a big reason why backward compatibility is a selling point for consoles, after all. So with Super Mario 3D World’s re-release, I figured why not write about the games Nintendo should port next? Let’s take a look, shall we? Star Fox Zero (Wii U) Star Fox Zero is unique on this list because I have not been given a chance to play it. I would like to see this game ported because I wish to see more Star Fox, and I find it likelier to get a port then an entirely new…

REVIEW: POKEMON: SWORD & SHIELD – CROWN TUNDRA DLC
Many moons ago, yours truly reviewed the first part of Pokémon: Sword & Shield’s expansion pack the Isle of Armor. And being the completionist that I am, a review of Crown Tundra, the second and supposedly last installment of the 8th generation of Pokémon games DLC, was a must. Now, the first point that I would like to make that deserves our utmost attention is that there are no rival trainers within the confines of the Tundra. This expansion focuses primarily on exploring the environment and the secrets that it holds, which benefits the release greatly. Also, the experience is significantly better when your main companion, Peony, is a more…

POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD: THE ISLE OF ARMOR DLC Review
The first wave of the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield DLC brings us to the Isle of Armor. In this mystical island, the player has to take three trials in order to get the secret armor. I was initially unsure if I should review this DLC or not. But after playing through every mission of it, I found it worth doing a quick review of it on it’s own merit. The side story has its charm, with an environment that would be perfect for a fighting type leader. This island is what the Wild Area should be. Instead of just “grass as long as the eyes can see,” there are…

5 Video Game Movies That Are Actually Good
Movie adaptations of video games are notorious for being bad. Whether it’s Super Mario Bros., Assassin’s Creed or the Resident Evil series, the subgenre has not been the most successful. They tend to either receive terrible reviews from fans and critics, flop at the box office, or both. However, like any film genre, there are a few good movies. Very few, but they exist nonetheless. Below, we list five video game movies that we consider to be good. We will be focusing on actual video game adaptations, rather than movies that are about video games. So, we will not be including Wreck-It Ralph, Ready Player One, the Jumanji movies, or…
