Forget About 'Pokémon Go', 'Pokémon' Duel Is Here for Your Phones
Nearly the entire world jumped on the Pokémon GO hype train, myself included, and after many issues, many loyal Pokémon fans merely keep the game installed in the hopes that the followup generations are released in the near future.

It’s Back And It’s Bittersweet
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp can now be experienced by IOS and Android users alike. Differentiating dramatically from the console version, it’s still very similar. You as the player get to customize your character and play as you would in the console, performing tasks for residents to gain materials to build up your campsite! Unlike many other mobile games, this one doesn’t seem to rely heavily on purchases to advance in the game.

This Nintendo Phone Isn't the NX, But I Still Love These Console-Phone Concepts
We are all aware of the console war between primarily Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation with the Nintendo NX hoping to jump into the fray soon. It's nothing new when you think about it as we've had several console wars over the years, it's always the same - just different players as the gaming eras changed all who believed they had the best console imaginable.

Here's How 'Assassin's Creed' Could Be The Next 'Pokemon Go' Mobile Game
If you haven't heard of Pokemon Go, then you must be living under a rock because it has become such a phenomenon that it's almost hard to believe how popular it is. If you need a rundown, we've got you covered. Between the server crashes and the varied accidents, Pokemon Go has set a precedent as to how an Augmented Reality (AR) game can be achieved.

It’s Here! 'Pokemon GO' Is Finally Available: Here’s How To Become The Greatest Trainer
We’ve been waiting, for what seems like forever our chance to catch our favorite Pokemon in ‘real’ life. Now, thanks to Niantic Labs and Nintendo, we finally have our chance to be an actual Pokemon trainer – and it’s AMAZING! News hit yesterday stating that Pokemon Go was available in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. For the rest of us in other areas of the world we waited patiently, and then it happened (at least for the US) at 9PM Eastern Standard Time, and we could officially download the game from both Google Play for Android devices and the App Store for iOS devices.

Alternatives to Console & PC Gaming: Join The Mobile Revolution
Gamers are often highly segregated when it comes to determining what defines a great game... or deciding what the best game of all time was (which by the way can never be answered)... or choosing whether PC or Console gaming is the best outlet to get our gaming fix. I say call it a gaming fix because if you're anything like me, gaming is like an opiate, gaming itself is something that is so ingrained in us that when we lose out on our gaming experiences we are rocked to our core and it changes our mood. Gaming for so many truly is an addiction, and we need our fix to feel satisfied, which ultimately can get difficult as the busyness of life takes hold of our daily routine. For me personally, I crave my gaming fix as a way to de-stress and mellow out after a stressful day at work. My wife has even noticed a visible difference in my mood if I get an hour or two on my Xbox once or twice a week.

Niantic Says ArticuNO to 'Pokémon GO' Players, Takes Legendary Away
I feel like every time we touch on the subject of Pokémon GO that phrase "went crazy" gets thrown around quite often. Well, it can be thrown around again when a player from Ohio, kaitcovey, supposedly caught one of the games very first rare Pokémon, Articuno.

George Takei Playing 'Pokémon GO' Is An Adorably 'Oddish' Experience!
Although he is used to going where no man has gone before, it seems that George Takei has missed the Pokémon GO hype train - until now! The 79- year-old took to Facebook with a live feed of his first experience playing Niantic's addictive catch 'em all, and what better advocate for the game could you hope for?

Pokémon GO Teams Are Becoming Gangs, Complete With Vandalism and Bullying
The second Pokémon GO started its soft launch, the world has been going wild. Mostly in good ways. Friendships have been made with random strangers that would have never met otherwise. People have discovered parts of their city that they may have never set foot in had it not been for the game. There's also the added benefit of getting some good cardio in while you're trying to hatch that 10km egg. People are also learning how long a kilometer is, and some are even going on Pokemon-hunting dates.

Pokémon GO Brings People Together In The Best Way
The minute Pokémon GO was released, the world went absolutely insane. For some, it was a cool AR app they could play while they're bored and walking somewhere. For most, it's something they've wanted since the 90s. It's pretty much my childhood wish come true and I'm sure many could say the same. Despite the plethora of glitches and seemingly unending server issues, Pokémon GO is still bringing in users at an exponential rate. More than that, despite being a free app, it's making more money than any other app in the Apple Store right now which is a feat in and of itself.

Super Mario Run Has Been Announced, But Here's What I'm Actually Excited About
The iPhone launch event this week was pretty standard fare for the most part. At least that's what I got from the tweets my friends were shooting out. People were also foaming at the mouth about the headphones of the thing, but I didn't pay much attention. To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the iPhone since it first came out since I am, admittedly, an Android fanboy. I didn't expect to there to be anything for me to get hyped about. Boy, was I wrong. During the event, Shigeru Miyamoto came up on stage and I paid attention with wide eyes and a confused stare. Shigeru Miya-f*#king-moto!? What the heck was he doing at an Apple event? And then he made the announcement. Super Mario would be coming to iOS via the mobile game, Super Mario Run.

Analyzing the Rise and Fall of 'Pokemon GO'
The last two months have been an absolute whirlwind, hasn't it? One minute we're all just minding our business and then the next, a little app called Pokemon GO is dropped and the world went absolutely wild for it. In fact, the hype around the app reached absolute fever pitch to the tune of 45 million active users during its peak in July. Those are crazy numbers for any app which is why it was top of the charts in the App Store for a good long while.
