Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble Review (Nintendo Switch)
My time with the Monkey Ball series is minimal. Part of the reason is that I haven’t realized how many of these games have graced mobile. I’ve been out of the Monkey Ball loop with the series’ releases. The other reason is that I just stink at the games, and I am easily frustrated with rolling off the edges repeatedly. Pretty much the same reason I politely pass on FromSoftware games. Minus the r...[Read More]

Rifftrax – The Game Review
Wide Right Interactive brought an interesting idea to the table last year with What the Dub?!. It was essentially a game that mimicked Mystery Science Theater 3000, where you would input a blank line of text into a scene from an old show or movie and have it read back in the clip.

Frantics
I’m so happy that Sony isn’t letting go of the PlayLink idea. I’m dead serious about that, so don’t take that as sarcasm. I’ve had the most stupid fun on some of these PlayLink games and they’ve been great for group fun. I have five kids at home, so those with phones enjoy participating in these titles with the maximum amount of fun and the least amount of ‘I’m next!’. Anyway, Sony Interactive Ent...[Read More]
