I’ve Been Playing Hogwarts Legacy on Easy Mode and it’s GREAT!

Posted on by Dave Pizza
So, it’s finally here: Hogwarts Legacy. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for Potterheads since, well, pretty much always honestly. But it’s finally here, isn’t it? Something that once we ruminated on as a possibility actually exists now. I grabbed a little bit of gameplay way back in February, wondering if the storytelling was going to be up to par. Since then, I’ve picked it up again on console and I played it for several hours–and got into some of the real fiber of the game. I have to say that it is quite good honestly. If you ever dreamed of… Read the rest

Still Dropping into Minecraft to Check on my Farm

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Ah, yes, a glorious sunrise in Minecraft valley amongst the idling cattle, rolling waters, and orange pattern of rain among my hermitic existence in the randomly generated terrain. For the record, I don’t totally remember exactly what it was that I set out to do to do with all this stuff. There is definitely stuff in this game though–glorious stuff! First off, relax. Also, if you need to relax you might want to try creative mode when you first start the game. There are two modes, survival, and creativity. Survival includes fleeing and thumping creatures with sticks of all sorts,… Read the rest

Ghostbusters are Back and Even Better in Their New Game

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Nobody asked for a Ghostbusters Video Game Remastered review in 2023, especially from a guy who reviews indie games. It’s sure to be overshadowed by the mega Afterlife release coverage, but maybe, just maybe, you weren’t sure who to call. So, that’s where I spawn my digital specter presence to declare, “These Ghostbusters are prepared.” Platforms: PC, Switch, Playstation, Xbox I AIn’t Afraid of No Ghostbuster Reboots I’m not sure if there’s anybody on the planet who has never seen Ghostbusters, so to those who want to know more, let me indulge you in this review of an updated version… Read the rest

Power Rangers Battle for the Grid is a Morphin’ Good Time

Posted on by Dave Pizza
The Power Rangers Battle for the Grid DLC packs showed up on Steam today. I remembered I have been eager and hopeful about the core game which is available on Xbox Game Pass, and I knew what I had to do, review the core game! Whatever your cultural disposition, I suspect it’s probably not hard to be aware of the Power Rangers–whatever your impression of them may be. For me, it was a show that catered to cool heroes fighting the ever-creative monsters on weekdays after school on TV! Alright… IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME! This game made me realize how special… Read the rest

Planet Zoo Remains A Suprisingly Pleasant Favorite

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Planet Zoo is a zoo simulator. You can play in either career, challenge, or sandbox mode. A lot of it can be played online, but it’s not necessary. I played for a couple of hours in career mode. It’s one of the few times where I’ve played a game tutorial and felt like I was doing some positive with my time by learning to play a game. That’s just the way this game is. Personal revelation: I love animals! Always have, and always will. When I travel, one of my first attractions is usually a zoo, aquarium, or natural history… Read the rest

Yoshi’s Crafted World is A Beautiful Cardboard Dream

Posted on by Dave Pizza
I had to remember how to play this game, but once I did I remembered how carefree it is to play this game, a nice array of forgiving obstacles and high attention to detail in its very particular artistic style. I meant to write something about it a while ago, but I kept overthinking it. Today I have some videos, screenshots, and seasoned thoughts on Yoshi’s Crafted World. What is Yoshi’s Crafted World? This game is the topic of this review. It is a game for Nintendo Switch based on the loveable dinosaur Yoshi with origins in the SNES game… Read the rest

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is Pretty Solid, And There Are Cheat Codes

Posted on by Dave Pizza
The subtitle “It’s All Here” says it all. I’ve tried a few Marvel games over the years, and I’ve seen a good handful of the movies. Never really delved into the comics, but I feel they are well represented in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. I went into this game thinking maybe it’d be isolated to Avengers characters without much divergence. There are PLENTY of Marvel Heroes in this game though, and you’ll have no trouble finding them. Within the first couple of chapters of the game, I played or interacted with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, She-Hulk, Wasp,… Read the rest

Point of View: Everybody Really Needs to Play The Sims At Some Point

Posted on by Dave Pizza
The Sims is a wonderful game, even for its relaxing gameplay qualities. I’ve been a casual player of The Sims for decades. I even tried out the cloud gaming version on my Xbox recently and was amazed by its nuances. When I was about midway through The Sims 3 seasons I wondered if this game needed to go further. Creative dedication to these ideas is where we are headed. Information literally is the most profitable commodity. Background: The Sims had a demo for Windows 98 that I found as a teenager. I was absolutely enthralled with it. I made a… Read the rest

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is The Ultimate Mario Game (And You Can’t Have It)

Posted on by Dave Pizza
This is my best–and one and only–article about Super Mario. Indie games, step aside for a moment. Super Mario 3D All-Stars for all parties interested, is a special release from Nintendo this year for the Switch which contains three classic Mario games spruced up for HD and available for a limited time offer in physical as well as digital form. They’re serious about the limited time too, which has some scratching their heads but it is what it is. I don’t sign on as Dave Ubercollector Pizza instead of Dave Pizza, but I believe this is what is called a… Read the rest

Taking Another Look at the Harry Potter LEGO Video Games

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Welcome to Hogwarts! Okay, it usually takes a chapter to get there in the books, but the welcome is there. I’m about to tell you about one of the most fan-driven franchises you’ve ever heard of, “Harry Potter!” Oh, you’ve heard of that one…? Okay… Have you ever heard of “LEGO!” That one too? Okay, GOOD!? It’s time for my LEGO Harry Potter poetic ode. I’m not totally certain when it started, but back in the old school days of Nintendo Wii, maybe PC, there was a very exciting release of Harry Potter books/films 1-4 and eventually 5-7. Today, you… Read the rest

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Still One of Nintendo’s Top Games (For a Reason)

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is essentially the original reason I now have a Nintendo Switch. There are so many good games for Switch that are perfectly mindful and low-stress, but the media circling around how wonderful this game actually did sell me in a moment of post-materialistic rebellion that I actually don’t really regret. This game took me to a new realm of peaceful gameplaying. Okay, I Have Animal Crossing, Now What? Humble Beginnings This is a collection and simulated social life game. At first, I just ran around and collected peaches for no reason. I picked up weeds and… Read the rest
