The Mummy is one of Universal Studios’ most popular movie franchises. There have been several sequels and spinoffs, a ride at their theme parks, and I think there was even a cartoon at one point. Recently they’ve remade the movie and WayForward published a game based on it called The Mummy Demastered. The reason for that title is because they made the game to look like a movie tie-in from the 16-bit era, and it’s available to download for nearly all the current game consoles and PC (reviewed on PS4 here). It’s a 2-D platforming run and gun exploration type of game, similar to Metroid. With all those good things going for it, could anything go wrong? You’ll just have to read on to find out!

Kids love Pokémon. And they have for more than two decades now. But surprisingly, with all the kid-focused Pokémon games out there now, there is very little for the younger crowd. Sure there have been a few games like Pokémon Channel on GameCube and the PokePark games on Wii. But not really much for the preschool set. Until now. Introducing Pokémon Playhouse, a game designed for the smallest of Pokémon fans. It’s available to download on iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here). Best of all, it’s a free to play game with NO in game purchases or ads!
LEGO Dimensions Beetlejuice Fun Pack

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! I remember watching this movie a couple of times when I was a kid, but I haven’t seen it since then. It was pretty popular, though. So much so that they had a Beetlejuice Saturday morning cartoon when I was a kid as well. It wasn’t my favorite, but I do remember it being of higher quality than most of the other Saturday morning cartons at the time. Plus I think I read it won an Emmy. Now the Ghost with the Most is haunting LEGO Dimensions with the Beetlejuice Fun Pack. It’s available to play on nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.

LEGO Dimensions The Powerpuff Girls Team Pack & Fun Pack

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice. These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect little girls. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient…Chemical X. Plus a few LEGOs for good measure. Thus The Powerpuff Girls Team Pack and Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions was born! The Powerpuff Girls was one of Cartoon Network’s most successful and well-known shows. So much so that it got a remake last year (although it isn’t as good as the original). Now you can relive the adventures of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup with add-ons for LEGO Dimensions, available for nearly all current game consoles but reviewed on Wii U here.

Posted on June 28th, 2017 by
Because of the popularity of Pokémon GO, the Pokémon Company is really embracing the mobile market. Now there is a separate game starring everyone’s favorite Pokémon character. No, it’s not Pikachu or Meowth. Not Snorlax or Mewtwo. Oh wait, did I say favorite? What I meant was this game stars the most useless Pokémon of all: the flopping fish Magikarp! Yup, he has his own game in Magikarp Jump!, a free-to-play downloadable title on mobile devices (but reviewed on iPad here). You’re just going to have to check this one out to believe it!
