Attendees are said to be given the chance to try out both Pokemon Sword and Shield at the event floor, buy Pokemon merchandise, and best of all - enjoy the company of Pikachu and Eevee mascots who are said to have a dance parade at 8 PM on Friday. Is there going to be more of the Pikachu and Eevee dance parade performance after the 15th? No official word but we will update you once we get more details.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Review - A Fantasy Perfected

Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Review (Switch) - Shadow Finally Gets His Due

Sonic X Shadow Generations blasts into the stratosphere by delivering a flashy, Shadow-centric epic with high-energy Doom Powers, excellent level design that strikes the right balance between fun and challenge, and a lot of heart in its short story. The fact that the timeless classic Sonic Generations comes with this package is more than just a cherry on top.

Until Dawn 2024 Review (PS5) -  A Visual Upgrade with a Familiar Experience

Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake polishes the 2015 horror classic with impressive visual upgrades and little additions. However, beyond the sharper visuals and slight changes, the core experience remains the same. Fans seeking a fresh take may find little reason to pick this up over the original, as the gameplay and story haven’t evolved beyond minor improvements.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Review - Revitalized and Modernized

Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered is a fun but flawed revisit to a zombie classic. It stays true in delivering its quirky and chaotic spirit, and was given a fair amount of polish to make it more appealing to modern players. While it’s a treat for longtime fans of the series, newcomers will feel the game’s age through its flaws.

While Visions of Mana doesn’t do enough to propel the series to new heights, many can find comfort in knowing that what we have here is another solid JRPG that can easily reiterate why you fell in love with these types of games, and that it’s a comfort to know that in 2024, there are still new adventures that can transport you to the good old days.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 Review - Glory to the Emperor (PS5)

Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is a fantastic third-person shooter that I highly recommend not only for fans of the franchise, but anyone who’s curious about it. It’s one of the more solid shooter campaigns released in recent years, with co-op features that make it a real treat with friends.

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded Review (Switch) - Live, Laugh, Lock, and Load

Metal Slug Attack Reloaded is a fine addition to the storied series, but it’s definitely made for a niche audience. I personally couldn’t put the game down for over two dozen hours, so despite its clunky menus, tedious upgrade system, and repetitive grinding, it’s doing something right.

Star Wars Outlaws Review: A Galaxy of Missed Opportunities

With over 20 hours logged, I've traversed vibrant planets and chased after the promise of the ultimate big score. But as the novelty wore off, a harsh truth emerged: beneath its polished surface, Star Wars Outlaws is a missed opportunity, bogged down by repetitive gameplay and a narrative that struggles to find its footing. It’s a game that tantalizes with potential but ultimately leaves much to be desired.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Review - FromSoftware Continues To Impress, Even With DLC

This is one of the meatiest expansions I’ve ever encountered in a video game. All of the additions Shadow of the Erdtree makes are everything a soulslike fan could hope for, as they’ve delivered a challenging experience with fresh ideas not only in the boss encounters, but in the environments, enemy variety, and even new items that freshen up the co-op and even player versus player space. If you love Elden Ring, you should definitely not skip Shadow of the Erdtree.
