Judgment: The 'Yakuza' Spinoff With A Dash Of 'L.A. Noire'

Judgment is the newest game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (and also developed and published by Sega) that is a direct spin-off of the Yakuza series. Now, I am a huge fan of the Yakuza series and I wanted to see how similar Judgment would be to the Yakuza series. As it would turn out, Judgment plays almost exactly like the Yakuza games. Many of the points that I make in my Yakuza blog post apply with Judgment as well, but I want to talk about the differences that set Judgment apart from the Yakuza games.

Pokemon Let's Go Eevee: The Easiest Pokemon Game Yet

I just finished playing Pokemon Let's Go Eevee.

In fact, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee is the easiest Pokemon game I have ever played. You can beat every trainer in this game with minimal amounts of grinding for experience, and the game is a great exposure to the world of Pokemon for younger gamers.
