2016 was an interesting year in the gaming community, ranging from the Pokemon Go craze to the overwhelming disappointment in No Man’s Sky. This is my last post for 2016, and I have decided to compile an annotated list of the top games from 2016 for teen gaming programs as well as circulating collections. I […]
Background: Pokemon Sun and Moon are attractive to gamers who have been dedicated Pokemon fans since the beginning, as well as returning gamers who want to experience a game with more substance than Pokemon Go. First, you need to know that Pokemon Sun and Moon are actually two separate games, meaning you have to pay […]
The Lego Harry Potter Collection is the remastered PS4 edition of the original Lego Harry Potter games, (it’s unknown if a remastered edition will be released for Xbox or Nintendo) but this time the entire game is on one disc! The release was timely considering the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came […]
Last week, I reviewed Paper Mario: Color Splash, which had some turn-based elements. This week, XCOM 2 is a full turn-based strategy game, and is probably one of the few remaining widely anticipated video games of 2016. YouTube Trailer: Platform: PC, Xbox One, PS4 Rated: T for blood, use of tobacco, and violence. Honestly, […]
This week’s video game is the newest edition of the “Paper Mario” series. Paper Mario takes the classic 2D side scrolling game and gives it a role-playing feel, often with 3D elements and a paper aesthetic. Mario usually has a hammer that can squish enemies, and as always he has to save Princess Peach in […]
Lego Dimensions is the first toys-to-life video game of its genre. It is also one of the coolest video games that combines popular fandoms all into one video game. I mean, just look at this list! Sounds cool right? Before your library jumps on this bandwagon, you need to know a few things. Trailer: […]
This week’s video game is a FTP (free to play) third-person shooter video game available on multiple platforms. When I say “free”, I mean that it is a freemium game where players are able to play for free just like anyone else, but can make micro-transactions to purchase better items. Warframe as far as I […]

Last week, I wrote a review about the video game Undertale. If you haven’t read it, go ahead and skim it before trying out this program! Also, be sure to ask your regular teens if they’re fans of Undertale before deciding to do this program. Undertale is a niche fandom that isn’t nearly as big […]
This week’s video game, Undertale, is once again a PC game that teens (especially teen girls) love, but circulating library collections may not be able to purchase because it is a digital download only. My teens requested an Undertale themed library program, and it attracted a more diverse crowd of teens compared to my usual […]
This week’s video game is strictly for Teen Programs, not circulating video game collections. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, created by Steel Crate Games, was recommended to me from a colleague when I asked our staff if they knew of a fun game where players work together to defuse a bomb. I was not disappointed […]
