Video Game Variety Show

  • Zelda: Breath of Frustration
    After purchasing my new Nintendo Switch GameCube controller (one of the best Nintendo ideas in years) I took it for a spin by booting up “Zelda: Breath Of The Wild” for the Nintendo Switch. I had previously beaten this game on the Wii U…Likely the only person in the Vancouver area who bothered to ...
  • Whatever a Spider Can
    Hey there Spidey fan! Been a little bit since we had a chat. I’ve been busy playing the hell out of Marvel’s Spider-Man, the new Playstation 4 exclusive video game title from Insomniac Games.
