Let me get this out of the way – The Legend of Zelda series is one of my all-time favorites. On top of that, Breath of the Wild is one of my most-anticipated games ever. From the original game on the NES to the most recent handheld iterations I’ve played and beaten them all; many of them […]

SideArc Reviews: “Yoshi’s Woolly World”

An adorable little yarn

| Categories: 3DS, Featured Posts, review, SideArc, Video Games, Wii U | 7 Comments »

“Yoshi’s Woolly World” is bar none the most adorable game I have ever played, and is a darn good platformer to boot.

Hello. My online persona is “Ryuuga Hideki” and I have a problem… I have bought way too many video games, making my backlog truly frightening. They say the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem and, well, with some 500 games in my Steam library alone – never mind my ever-growing […]
