I’ve never been a big fan of tennis or ping pong video games, because they just seem like glorified Pong games to me. But this one has arcade style gameplay and wacky characters, so let’s see how this one fares for me. King of Ping Pong MEGAMIX is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
40 Sports Games in 1 (Switch, PS5)
Posted on October 8th, 2025 by
Don’t be fooled by the title of this game. There aren’t really 40 full sports games on here. Just multiplayer mini-games based on things you do in sports. It feels like a title from a bygone era from the Wii days. 40 Sports Games in 1 is available on Switch and PS5, but reviewed on Switch here.
Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on October 6th, 2025 by
When I was a kid in the 80s, Garfield was huge! Newspaper comics strips were a popular form of entertainment for all ages back then, and the fat orange cat was right at the forefront. Not only that, but he had countless merchandise, Emmy award winning TV specials and a Saturday morning cartoon! So yeah, Garfield was a big part of my childhood. So good or bad, I’m always happy to review a Garfield video game. So here comes Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift, a typical cartoony kart racer featuring the fat cat and his friends. I’ve never played the first one, so I don’t know if this one improves anything in any way, but the sequel is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Pokémon Friends (Switch, Mobile)
Posted on October 1st, 2025 by
You’ve arrived in a new town to start your very own Pokémon plush toy shop. Kind of like a Build-A-Bear with Pokémon I guess. But while unpacking, your yarn gets all tangled up. So now you have to solve Pokémon themed puzzles to unravel your thoughts, and the yarn in Pokémon Friends. It’s available on Switch and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch here.
The Edge of Allegoria (Switch, PC)
Posted on September 29th, 2025 by
The best way to describe this game is that it’s Pokémon with a potty mouth. The Edge of Allegoria is an old school styled RPG with a green and white color palette similar to the Game Boy. It has some similarities to Pokémon, too. You don’t train and fight monsters, but the battle screen and the map are very similar to that series. In the game you play as a generic person who goes out to make something of themselves. You come to a town with a goblin problem, and beat up the leader in a dungeon, only to have other goblins come and demolish your house. Then a fairy comes to tell you that the world is not in balance anymore after you fight her. And in typical RPG fashion, you just go on from there, visiting towns for clues and items and fighting monsters on route to dungeons. Only other thing that sets this game apart from others is that it uses more curse words in the text than any other video game I’ve ever seen! It’s available on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Let’s Tour the Welcome Tour!
Posted on September 26th, 2025 by
When the Nintendo Switch 2 released earlier this year, one of the launch games was the download only Welcome Tour. It was set up like a museum, and you controlled a little person as they walked around a giant Switch 2 and its accessories. You could play mini-games, try tech demos, and take quizzes on facts about the new console. To me, it sounded like a lot of silly, quirky fun. And I love games that have museums in them, whether it be Namco Museums or Animal Crossing. There was only one problem. They charged you for it. It really should’ve come with the system, and that’s what it’s going to be known for from here on out. I really wanted to boycott it and not buy it to support that kind of behavior. But here’s the thing. I only believe in boycotting if it doesn’t hurt yourself. And the game still sounded interesting enough to me that I didn’t want to miss out on it. Life is too short to miss out on what you think is fun. So I got it. It was only ten bucks anyway, and I can spend more money than that on fast food! So I figured I’d take you all on a tour of the Welcome Tour!
Glover (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on September 24th, 2025 by
I first started writing video game reviews way back in 1996 for The Dallas Morning News (yeah, newspapers, remember those?), and it was around the same time that the N64 was released. So I got to review a lot of N64 games then. But surprisingly, Glover wasn’t one of them. Which is strange because I remember Hasbro Interactive, the publishers of that game at the time, being one of my first PR contacts. Since then I’ve read and watched a lot of stories about how Glover was a memorable game to people as a kid, for better or for worse. So I’m glad that I’m finally able to review the game with QByte Classics re-release of Glover. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
D.U.C.K. Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on September 22nd, 2025 by
A group of duck friends finds an old game cartridge and decides to take it home and play it. But when they do, an evil spirit emerges and traps them in the room and forces them to play games to make it out alive! This game is a take on WarioWare, where you play small mini-games in succession. But instead of games that only take seconds to play, these are a bit more involved and may take a minute or longer to beat. And most are imitations of arcade and console classics, from titles like Namco’s Tank Battalion or Game & Watch to Rhythm Heaven! The game is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
The Shops at Tamagotchi Plaza
Posted on September 19th, 2025 by
Remember those Tamagotchi virtual pet keychains that were super popular in the late 90s? Well they’ve never really gone away. In fact, back on the Nintendo DS, they had a series of games called Tamagotchi Corner Shop, and there were three of them! You ran little shops and would play touch screen mini-games to serve and help out other Tamagotchi customers. My brother Jeff and I were weirdly obsessed with those games back in the day, probably because we did like those virtual pets (Jeff was even a Tamagotchi for Halloween one year when he was little). Well, Tamagotchi Plaza is the sequel to those games, so of course I had to get it. There are a dozen shops for you to run, and two more if you have the Switch 2 version. I thought it might be fun to run through the shops in this game, so let’s go!
