  2. Tempest Rising This is a very C&C-coded RTS that just released a couple months ago, and it's a lot of fun. There's two campaigns, one for the Global Defense Initiative Force, and another for the Brotherhood of Nod Tempest Dynasty. Each campaign covers the same time period of a war between the two, focused on an energy resource known as Tiberium Tempest. I quite liked it, though it's a little shallower than I like my RTS in terms of tech trees and stuff (I've always been more of a Starcraft guy myself), and definitely would recommend it for anyone who's itching for a new strategy games. I don't really have much in the way of detailed thoughts, it kind of is just a fun and competent RTS, not really anything standout great, but not anything seriously bad either. Grade: B

  4. I love 3D World + Bowser's Fury so much. Odyssey's also great, they're both in my top 3 3D Mario games.

  6. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury I've been wanting to play this one for over a decade at this point, since first hearing all the praise it got when it initially came out on Wii U. At the time, I only had a 3DS so I settled for playing 3D Land instead. This and other ports from previous Nintendo consoles were a big part of what finally made the Switch so appealing to me. I've been wanting to buy one for at least a couple years but had been holding off because it always seemed like the successor was right around the corner. Anyway, 3D World was about as great as I expected it to be. I love how it feels like an evolution of the old side-scrolling games. On the 3DS version, I had done basically everything including replaying all the levels as Luigi once I unlocked him but this time I'm drawing the line there. I beat the game, then beat the post-game worlds and collected all the green stars and all but 5 of the stamps. The last 5 stamps require replaying all the levels as the other characters and there's an extra 4 characters this time. Maybe I'll come back and do it at some point but right now I have other games to play. Bowser's Fury was a neat little expansion. It's kinda cool how they managed to build a mini open-world Mario game from the building blocks of 3D World, which was very linear. It did feel kinda limited by it but it was still a ton of fun. I basically played through the entire thing in one sitting. I got the first 50 Cat Shines and rolled credits, then took a short break and came right back to get the other 50. I was under the impression that there would be a secret ending after getting all 100 but as far as I could tell it was the same. Bowser just had different hair during the fight... But yeah, not a bad way to spend an evening. And it definitely whet my appetite for a proper 3D Mario game, so I'll probably be playing Odyssey sometime soon.
