The Minecraft Movie was recently released, and McDonald’s promoted it with Happy Meals and other goodies. Let’s take a look at them!
Man these games where you fit things inside a box must be pretty popular, or easy to make. Because in the past year, I’ve reviewed these types of games where you fit cats into boxes, zoo animals on a pool float, dogs on a bed, and food in a bento box. And now here’s one where you fit breads, pastries, and other tasty treats in a bread basket!
Sonokuni has got to be one of the weirdest games I’ve ever played. You are Takeru, a female Japanese warrior and you must fight your way through a biopunk Japanese hip-hop landscape. Whatever that is. View the action in an overhead perspective with trippy visuals and a crazy soundtrack. Sonokuni is available for Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
I love the Super Nintendo. It’s my favorite game console and while I was around for the Atari 2600 and NES, it was the SNES that really cemented my love for console games. And that’s why I love getting to check out SNES games I never got to play. Such is the case with Rendering Ranger. It was a game that was only released in Japan and it was a very limited release, too, so it’s pretty rare. It’s a run and gun that uses pre-rendered graphics like Donkey Kong Country, which was big at the time. The game is now available to download on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Help a little frog defeat waves of enemies by throwing daggers in Dagger Froggy, a top down viewed 2D retro action game. It’s available on all current game consoles and PC but reviewed on PS4 here.
Earlier this year I reviewed a game on Switch that let you design your own room. Then a few weeks later I reviewed another one that let you design your own shop. And now you can design your own street corner with Cozy Land on Switch.
Many stores nowadays have a selection of pre-made Easter baskets you can buy, and while at Target I saw a Mario themed one for only 20 bucks. So I decided to get it and show you all what’s inside.
Ringo is a bunny who happens to also be a postal worker. Help him drive around collecting all the letters and returning them to the mailbox in this puzzle game for Switch and PC (reviewed on Switch here).
A long time ago, an evil demon king and his armies ransacked the land. When the demon king was defeated, the armies disbanded but there are some demon stragglers here and there. You play as a young man who just discovered his ancestry and is now a lord. So you must lead your troops into battle to rid the world of demons for good. Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn is a unique combination of deckbuilding, simple action battles, and hexagonal board style strategy. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
There are many toy lines that came out in the 80s when I was a kid that are still popular today. Some examples would be Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, etc. Another example that I didn’t know was still around until recently was Care Bears. That was huge when I was a kid, and they had lots of toys, plush, several cartoons, and even some movies! I think even I saw the first Care Bears movie when I was a kid (I remember it being surprisingly dark), and that movie even made more money than the Disney cartoon film it was competing against (granted that Disney movie was The Black Cauldron, but still). Now Care Bears are making a comeback and late last year I reviewed a 2D platformer starring the bunch. And now they have a new installment featuring an assortment of arcade style mini-games. Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is available on Switch and PlayStation consoles, but reviewed on Switch here.
