Cory in the House is not just a game. It's an experience unlike any other. Man has gone to the moon and climbed to top of the highest peak, but nothing can compare to glory of mankind that is Cory in the House for the Nintendo DS. The story, it made me question my life and moral ethics as a person. The gameplay, so immersive I felt as though I were actually in the house. The graphics, to beautiful to describe to that it will break our mere mortal minds. Cory in the House is not a game made by mere mortal hands, God himself would bow down to such an amazing creation. That is the glory that is Cory in the House. Also Cory's a straight up busta. 12/10

While not great, this game certainly can keep you captivated throughout with it's simple, yet fun gameplay charming graphics, and just all around good feel. The comic book aesthetics in the cutscenes are also a nice touch.

When this game was first announced it didn't peak my interest as I'm not really a fan of shooters. But as of now, this game is easily one of my favorites. Throwing away the traditional style of war based combat, Splatoon goes for a more kid friendly approach that works greatly. The motion controls, while they would be a bit of a red flag to people, are very well implemented and extremely responsive but if you still don't enjoy them can be turned off. My only complaint is more of a nitpick, but the single player stuff in the game is very underwhelming as the story mode last around 4 to 6 hours and the local multiplayer I half the time forget about. As the core focus of the game is multiplayer though, it's good to see the devs were able to focus on that main aspect. Multiplayer is also a ton of fun with four modes to play and a ton of maps. The regular battle mode Turf War is short, simple, and can be played whenever. The other three modes Splat Zones, Tower Control, and Rainmaker, can be played in ranked depending on which are chosen. The few problems with multiplayer are a lack of voice chat between friends and the choice to choose which modes and maps you play on. Those are set on a four hour rotation and if you don't get the maps or mode you care for then the only thing to do is wait, which can be annoying. Voice chat not being in the game makes sense since it is meant for children, but talking between friends would make sense as games like Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros Wii U have been able to do this. In the end, with the constant free updates of new weapons and maps to boot, Splatoon is an enjoyable experience just built around pure fun. It is easily one of my favorite games of this year and a must buy if you have a Wii U. And just cause it seems mandatory, TL;DR Splatoon is good. Go play it.
