Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was a great puzzle/adventure game. In reality it feels a lot more like a shooter (its a shooter) but it was fun, light hearted, overall really entertaining. The controls for the most part are natural and intuitive. There are a few moments it seems like a stretch on the controls but given the nature of the game, you end up getting it down. Overall 4 stars as it could have some room to grow in the depth of the game but a fun play through. Truly more like 4.5 in my opinion.

A great puzzle game that has you think outside the box and sometimes upside down.

Coffee Golf
Right now this game is really fun and quick to play. However, a few tips and tricks for new users should be given so the new user doesn't have to watch so many ads figuring out the game. Ads are the worst but luckily you only see ads if you want to play a more than once a day. As for the mechanics, its great so far. The ability to bounce shots off of objects is fun. However its rather difficult to measure shots within reason at times. A driving range feature would be great. Could be hit as many shots as possible in 60secs after watching an ad. Either way this game is great and fun to play. A few more features, which I know are coming, will make this 5 stars.

PGA Golf is amazing. Golf is a fun sport to play but requires lots of patience. Golfing games are just as fun and require much less.

Tennis in its finest format. You don't have to be a big tennis fan, this is a great introduction into Tennis and is fun to play no matter the gaming skill set.

This is absolutely my favorite city builder game I've ever played. Not quite AoE on the strategy but I found it to be a different style of fun with all of the different city services incorporated.

Loved this game on the dreamcast. It introduced me into a new style of music and really got me into BMX. Really wish that didn't wear off cause I loved racing and dirt jumping. Wasn't great at street but I really enjoyed the feeling of big air and had no fear.

Mario Kart Tour
My 4yo son loves to play MK Tour. He isn't great at it, but its wholesome fun and he loves the characters. The best part is I just let him go at it and its there in a pinch if we get caught running errands and his patience wears out. We don't like to stick a screen in front of him but this works great in a pinch.

I feel like this game was the lesser version of Pharoah.
Okay I know what your saying, "Hey James, AoE came out first."
Yeah but Sierra published Pharoah and Sierra was the best.

This game FORCES you to communicate with others effectively. Just be careful who you play with. It might ruin a relationship. Best if played in VR and the volume of that ticking bomb turned UP!
