If you've ever played Super Smash Bros. and wondered, “Who the heck is Samus and what game she was from?” This is that game. While not the first game, it's certainly the best. The third installment in the long running, and recently revived, Metroid franchise, Super Metroid is the pinnacle of early 90’s video games and even helped create its...
I completely forgot God of War 4 was coming out this year. It came out on 4/20, the coolest time to release anything, and I'm a little disappointed in myself that I forgot. When this game was revealed back at E3 2016, people were excited. With God of War 3 coming out in 2010, everyone was excited to see...
The infamous and rapidly growing mobile game show, HQ, has taken the world by storm. Millions of people storm the app for a chance to win $5,000.

It was called Pokken Tournament. It was first released in 2015 for Japanese arcades, 2016 for the Wii U, and 2017 for the Nintendo Switch. Now I...
I personally don’t have a lot of experience with the Call of Duty franchise. I rarely bought First Person Shooters when I was younger, but the ones I had were really fun. I have also been hearing a split between a lot of my friends on their opinion on the newest installment, Call of Duty: WWII. After a while,...
In 2017, the world received two new Sonic games, one being a 16-bit, side-scrolling platformer, and the other being a 3D “boost” game similar to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. Both games were announced side by side in July of 2016 at San Diego Comic Con, and both games are currently out on all current generation systems. The side-scroller was...
