Did you enjoy our first episode? We loved putting it together for you! We are interested in what game you may be interested in us reviewing next? We have a poll on the right side of this website (not viewable on the mobile version), where you can vote on a few games listed there. Episode 2 will include a review of Super Smash Bros., so we are looking at the topic to review in Episode 3. Remember, we are trying to keep this family oriented, so nothing over the ESRB rating of Teen. Check it out, vote on the poll or write us a comment with some ideas.
What game should we review next? Here's some suggestions:
Pokemon: Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
"Two 2014 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. They are part of the sixth generation of the Pokémon series, serving as enhanced remakes of the 2002 Game Boy Advance titles Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The games were announced on May 7, 2014, in a teaser trailer released by Nintendo. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were released in Japan, North America, and Australia on November 21, 2014, exactly twelve years after the release date of the original Ruby and Sapphire; the European release was a week later on November 28, 2014."
The newest Pokemon game released on the Nintendo 3DS. I grew up playing these games and now Micah gets to experience the wonderful universe I did...only with about 5 trillion more Pokemon than what I had to worry about.
Minecraft
"Minecraft is a sandbox independent video game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by the Swedish company Mojang. The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival modes where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, a creative mode where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, and an adventure mode where players play custom maps created by other players."
If you haven't heard of Minecraft over the past few years you are truly living underneath some rock...or maybe a square building block made out of rock. Micah, along with most of this friends is obsessed with this game, especially when it was released on Xbox back a couple years ago.
Mario Kart 8
"A 2014 kart racing game and the eighth major installment in the Mario Kart series, developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U video game console. First announced at E3 2013, the game was released worldwide in May 2014.
Like other games in the series, in Mario Kart 8, players control characters from the Mario franchise and participate in kart racing on various race tracks, using items to hinder opponents or gain advantages. While incorporating game mechanics originally featured in earlier Mario Kart games, Mario Kart 8 introduces anti-gravity sections that allow players to drive on walls or ceilings. The game features multiple single-player and multiplayer game modes. The game incorporates Miiverse functionality and online multiplayer supported via Nintendo Network."
A great addition to the Mario Kart franchise. Micah got this game the day it was released and didn't put it down for months. We would love to go back and give our insights on the game, no problem there!
Hearthstone
"A digital collectible card game (CCG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a free-to-play with unlimited paid booster packs, and limited (by daily cap and randomized objective provision) free acquisition of in-game currency used to obtain booster packs. Announced at the Penny Arcade Expo in March 2013, the game was released on 11 March 2014. Hearthstone is available on Microsoft Windows and OS X systems and on iPad, Android tablet and Windows 8 Touch devices. The iPhone and Android phone platform releases are planned for the beginning of 2015.[1] New content for the game involves the addition of new card sets and gameplay, such as from the Curse of Naxxramas adventure and the Goblins vs. Gnomes expansion pack."
An add-on to the World of Warcraft universe. It's a mix of popular trading card games like Magic the Gathering and the fantasy world of Azeroth. Would be a unique game to take a stab at reviewing.
Disney Infinity 2.0
"An action-adventure sandbox video game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive Studios. The game features additional work by Studio Gobo and Ninja Theory. It is the sequel to and successor of the 2013 video game Disney Infinity and was announced on April 30, 2014. The game was released on September 23, 2014 in North America, September 19, 2014 in the United Kingdom, September 18, 2014 in Australasia and the rest of Europe for iOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.1 Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes will also be released for PlayStation Vita on an unspecified date in 2015."
The new version of the Disney Infinity franchise introduces Marvel Superheros. Much like Skylanders or Amiibos, this game uses physical action-figure toys to play the game. Very cool concept to tackle.
