Steven Universe is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular shows right now. It’s about a boy named Steven who befriends some gem-based intergalactic warriors and they go on adventures together. As popular as the show is, there aren’t too many video games based on the franchise, surprisingly. Until now, as Dreamland Arcade is not one, but nine games in total for mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here). In one of the episodes, Steven and his friends visit the local Funland arcade. One of his gem warrior friends gets addicted to a game that bears a striking resemblance to Samba de Amigo. It’s called Meat Beat Mania and in this mobile game, Steven falls asleep while she plays it. Then he has a dream where he’s in an arcade featuring games starring him and all his friends. You get to unlock and play these games that Steven dreamed up.
Reader Review: Bad Apple Wars (Vita)
Posted on December 18th, 2017 by
A few months ago, I reviewed a visual novel game from Aksys and didn’t fare too well. So when they sent me another one, I decided to let my brother Benjamin Woodham review it. So here’s his take on Bad Apple Wars for Vita.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on December 15th, 2017 by
The evil Kang has conquered time and space and is bringing Marvel universes from different time periods together to create one big city called Chonopolis. Now modern day Manhattan is next door to Asgard, Roaring 20’s Manhattan (complete in black and white), 2099 Nuevo York, and even an alternate timeline New York where Hydra has taken over. It’s utter chaos and it’s up to Marvel superheroes from different time periods to team up and save the day! You’ll play as classic Marvel characters like Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Doctor Strange, Thor, and more, as well as meet up with alternate timeline versions of characters like Cowboy Captain America in the Wild West and Spider-Gwen. It’s the wackiest LEGO super hero adventure yet! LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is available for nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite: Team Capcom

In the second part of my look at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, we’ll go over the fighters on the Capcom side. I’m way more into video games (obviously, since I review them) than I am comic books, so hopefully I’ll sound a bit more knowledgeable here. So let’s dive right in. Oh yeah, some slight Story Mode spoilers here and there may happen, so you’ve been warned.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite: Team Marvel
Posted on December 11th, 2017 by
It’s Marvel Week here at GamerDad.com. We’ll be looking at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, and at the end of the week, a review of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game! Anyway, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a fighting game featuring characters from Marvel comic and Capcom game universes. Usually when I play a fighting game that has a lot of interesting characters in it, I’ll write a blog about them, so that’s what we’re going to do here. We’ll start with the Marvel cast. Keep in mind that I’m not a big comic book fan, so most of my knowledge of Marvel characters comes from the movies, Marvel vs. Capcom games, and the LEGO games. So when I go over these characters, if you ARE a Marvel fan, please feel free to correct me on anything or provide any information or insight that you might like to share.

NASCAR Heat 2 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Posted on December 5th, 2017 by
NASCAR is one of the most popular racing sports in the US, and there have been tons of video games based on the franchise. The newest one is NASCAR Heat 2. I haven’t played the first one, so I don’t know what improvements are in the sequel, but it’s available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (reviewed on PS4 here).
Deer Hunter: Reloaded (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mobile)
Posted on December 4th, 2017 by
One of the biggest successes in gaming that you don’t hear about much anymore is Deer Hunter. Back in the late 90’s, this game was huge and I reviewed a ton of its sequels and imitators back at The Dallas Morning News. In fact, there were so many hunting games back then that I had to tell my editor to stop sending them to me, because I was getting tired of reviewing them! And you know I hate turning down a game to review! Heck, even my grandmother on my dad’s side played the Deer Hunter games back then. And she was really good at them, too, and got the highest scores in our family! And now Deer Hunter is back with Reloaded, available on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices (reviewed on PS4 here).
