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 […]
No Man’s Sky has gained a lot of media attention in the gaming community over the past few weeks. It was one of the most anticipated games of 2016 for the PC and PS4, but has flopped almost as hard as the hype after its release. The number of users simultaneously playing No Man’s Sky […]
Ori and the Blind Forest is not necessarily a new game, but the Xbox One Definitive Edition of the game was just released this past June. The game has won multiple awards since its initial release in 2014, and is such a good game that you can buy special editions of Xbox consoles with a […]
Last September, I reviewed Terraria for the PS4. I found the controls didn’t translate well to the PS4 from the PC, and suggested circulating collections may not want to buy a copy. Well, this month Terraria came out on the Wii U, and I wanted to give it another chance because the controls would be […]

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard of Pokemon Go, the newest app that inspires gamers to GO OUTSIDE! Many libraries have already utilized Pokemon Go as social media content, book display inspiration, and promotional material. Instead of focusing on what Pokemon Go is and how to play, this article is going to […]
This review is going to be a little bit of a throwback because the original version of Journey came out in 2012, but I hope you find it useful! I’ve been waiting for our library’s vendor to stock the collector’s edition of Journey for PS4 (I don’t own a PS3), but I finally gave up […]
If you ever wonder where you can get tons of information about upcoming video games, E3 is one of the best places to check! E3 stands for “Electronic Entertainment Expo”. It is a large annual conference held in LA that brings video game professionals from all kinds of gaming into one place. This year, E3 […]
Star Fox Guard is a little confusing, but I’m going to do my best to explain. Our library got a disc copy of Star Fox Guard when we ordered Star Fox Zero (which I reviewed last week) because we pre-ordered it. So, if you ordered a copy of Star Fox Zero before April 2016, you […]
