Looking for cheat codes for LEGO Harry Potter? As you may know, there are actually two games in the LEGO Harry Potter series, years 1-4, and years 5-7. This article will be a one stop location for the games, because I'll be giving you cheat codes for both Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7. I did write an article some time back on these games and found them quite a bit of fun, long before the Hogwarts Legacy era basically took over everything Harry Potter in the gaming world, but I'm assuming there are still…

This April, I grabbed an Amtrak train from a small Illinois town and headed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The reason? To visit the 2024 Midwest Gaming Classic at the Baird Center in Downtown Milwaukee. It's an annual trade show that celebrates gaming in all its forms with vendors selling used games and cool merchandise, free to play retro arcade games, a plethora of free to play pinball machines, live music, talks and panels, a gaming museum filled with consoles and computers from every era of computing, a board game room, and a bunch of really, really cool people--even some video game…

I'd brushed the proximity of Jack Move several times this year. Seeing it here, seeing it there, probably even passing up a demo. When I just had to have the Tactics and RPG turn-based bundle from Humble Bundle this month, I got a chance to play it. Turns out Jack Move, the pixel graphic cyberpunk RPG, is a fantastic, well-paced and interesting adventure. Here are my first impressions of the game along with sentiments from the community. Let me just start by saying Jack Move stands tall amongst other turn-based combat games by being full of action yet having a…

Terraria is simply one of the most catchy niche games ever made, yet I hadn't ever played it until just recently. The gameplay is engaging and the pixel art graphic style is pretty satisfying. It has a simple premise that matches other survival craft games, like Minecraft, that being: build a fort, fight or hide, and survive--then just keep building and building and building. And though I only put effort into one aspect during my test run, that is building a room with doors, I can see the appeal of this flexible crafting game. I'll go over a few impressions…

Grab your mop, bring your Stardew Valley membership card, and head into olden times with Travellers Rest. Yes, I literally just started this game, so I'll continue to update this as time goes on, but I'm already hooked. I do in fact still love that old classic Stardew Valley, a basic grounding point for this game. But I have also enjoyed the medieval theme of RPG's for a long time. The concept is about the same in some ways, especially visually, but self-reliance as a medieval innkeeper is the hook that brought me to Travellers Rest. I hope to share…

MMORPGs get tossed into the indie content spin room all the time these days, generally with a slight irreverence. Inkbound is different though, it has A LOT of potential. I sat down with the game at my PC to test out a new character in this magical book-themed MMO. Is Inkbound actually "a world" yet? Yes--and a plentiful one--which I'm still exploring the depths of. A couple of important facts: This early access is available through Steam on Windows. It IS online, it IS an MMO, you can play with other players, but you don't have to... Also, like most…

Black Skylands is an immersive fantasy skypunk RPG that takes place in the colorful airborne landscapes of another world. As an indie gamer, this is indeed one of the most optimistic projects I've looked at, and yet very promising indeed. Take the helm of a family airship and float between islands in the sky to claim your stake. This review was sponsored by a free copy, which I am really grateful for, so let's g

Getting started with Potion Craft can be intriguing and fun but also confusing--by nature. The game features role playing game elements mixed with strategy and casual gameplay. It's one of the hottest games out there for alchemy sims, but quickly has become a diverse favorite for gamers. I've taken some time to compile some tips and tricks I think are essential to the full release version of this game and will guide you through some of the basics before you're ready to move onto the esoteric full-of-secrets-adventure that is Potion Craft. Anyway, there is a lot to get through but…

How to Play Wingspan – A Tutorial for Beginners

Wingspan is an exciting concept from top to bottom. It involves all manner of birds in either a card-driven board game or a cross-platform video game--both essentially based on the same original concept. Bird lovers want everything to do with this game, me included, and with the different ways to play, who can resist? Still, after my initial foray into Wingspan, I was thrilled with the bird trivia and different mechanics and rules, but it was a little confusing. If you're more of a casual gamer like me, you might just want to flap your wings and move on. Don't…
