Review by Ginny W. Naruto is a bit of a household name the world over. Even someone who’s never watched the anime could probably identify a Naruto cosplayer in a crowded room. There’s something immediately arresting about the character; maybe it’s the distinctive outfit, or a certain catchphrase. Regardless of…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There is no shortage of modes, features and excellent gameplay in NHL 19, but for veterans of the series the decision to buy or not usually boils down to whether or not there is enough ‘new’ to warrant their hard earned money. Last year that was…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Solo movie was not the major hit Disney was hoping for, but I figured there would still be a Pinball FX3 table to complement the previous Star Wars releases by Zen Studios. The good news is, regardless of what you thought of the movie, the…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Just about everything a basketball enthusiast could want can be found in NBA 2K19. There are numerous options and modes, with excellent on-court action and outstanding presentation values.
