Raised on Intellivision and Star Frontiers, I've been a gamer since I was old enough to say, "There's nothing on TV." There's still nothing on TV so I'm still playing games, and I likely will be until I'm able to retire to Wuhu Island.

Review: Theatre Tales (Nintendo Switch)

Playing Theatre Tales is like buying a volume of classic fairy tales with the pages of all but one story glued shut. The presentation is fun, but you’ll feel cheated after Red Riding Hood gets her happily ever after.
