GameStop And Its Pro Membership Will Not Survive

|
By Richard Heaton Verified

As a fan of both video games and trading cards, I heard some pretty devastating news about GameStop earlier today. It only affects a small portion of shoppers, but combined with everything else that’s been going on the past few months, it’s not looking all that good for GameStop. Honestly, it hasn’t looked good for GameStop in a long time. The company had its ups and downs over the past few years, but always came up with some new gimmicks to turn things around. But things may not recover this time.

Pokemon Champions Review (Nintendo Switch 2) Quintessential Pokemon Battles For Everyone

I don’t play Pokemon competitively. To this day, I’ve never battled another person in any DS, 3DS, or Nintendo Switch Pokemon game that I’ve ever owned. I’ve traded with thousands of people and interacted in other ways, but I never battled. Hell, I haven’t even learned how to play the card game until Pokemon TCG Pocket came out. But then Pokemon Champions came out, and it felt different. Champions is a pokemon game that’s just dedicated to live battles.

Catto’s Post Office Review (Nintendo Switch) A Short Game About A Feline Mailman

There isn’t really much to say about Catto’s Post Office. It’s a really short game that can be accidentally made shorter by skipping stuff, and just a few sentences can literally spoil the entire game because of the length. The entire experience will take you between 40 and 60 minutes. But it’s a fairly worthwhile experience, especially since the game only costs $5. You play as Catto, the town’s mailman. The game takes place on his birthday, but it appears everyone’s forgotten about it.
