Is Raid: Shadow Legends As Good As Their Commercials?
If you are a geek and use social media then you have no doubt seen various commercials for a mobile game called Raid: Shadow Legends. Like many mobile games aimed towards gamers, it features cool-looking warriors, scantily clad women, and obnoxious monsters. Naturally, I would swipe away knowing that it would just tempt me to purchase in-game resources to get an inch further but then I saw this co...[Read More]

For many, they simply judged the game by its title or cover and decided whether or not to purchase it for their kid. Most of us geeks have been disappointed by a Christmas present that was a lackluster video game that left us grateful for the effort but disappointed by the product. Alternatively, we...[Read More]
Dad Mode is a Real Video Game Play Style

Planting New Touches To Harvest a Better Game – A Mystic Vale Updated Review
I had the opportunity to review Mystic Vale on their mobile platform earlier this year but, did not have the best experience when compared to other competitions such as Magic The Gathering and other deck-building games in said genre. The game mechanics itself felt mostly fulfilling with a fairly deep min/max mentality in how to build and play your druidic clan; however, the mobile app itself lacke...[Read More]
