 about the rant on gun violence, kicked into overdrive with the pearl-clutching "PROTECT THE CHILDREN!!!" bit. There's no firearms, goony goon. All the weapons are fantasy/scifi cannons and lasers and stuff. Yoshi isn't rocking a shotgun and Mario isn't brandishing handguns. You mention Splatoon - what, you think those weapons aren't "guns" but M&R's are? What's the logic behind that one? The fact that one game's weapons shoot ink and the other game's are laser beams?Also: "I don’t want children to participate in violent fantasies"? HA! What about the truth of the violent reality we have to live in, huh? The world's a violent, vicious place and always has been. (Especially America.) The sooner you introduce the kids to this fact of life and train them to deal with it, the better they'll adjust to most aspects of life on Earth. You're not protecting the kids, you're setting them up to be bullied instead of prepared to be on guard and ready to fight back. Cartoon violence is as good an entry point for this as any! Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote, Jerry vs. Tom...only with violence and cunning is the instigating predator stopped. Oh wait, this is a game discussion - where would Mario and Link etc. be if they didn't push back with force, anyway? Peace is a 2-way street, and sometimes you have to be perceived as a threat yourself in order to get there. Teach THAT fact to the kids if you to help them deal with life!

X-Com 2 gets real dull once you've beaten The Chosen. They really should've updated the late-game and the final stage. The Warlock is way tougher than those DBZ-looking Avatar losers.

Yes, the biggest problem in Mario & Rabbids is, without any doubt, the fact that it has guns.

Mario v Rabbids has a really good movement system with free melee attacks that encourage aggressiveness towards the goals. XCom 1 had a problem with the best easiest way to play the game being to simply wait everything else and play safe and slow. XCOM 2 tried to correct this by having more turn limits and spawning enemies but the gameplay mechanics didn't change much so a lot of people had trouble with it cause playing "unsafe" simply wasn't in their wheelhouse and the game wasn't doing enough to signal to the player that's what they needed to do. Rabbids does a really good job of forcing you into action but making getting up close and aggressive on enemies really fun and effective. If you have Luigi on your team and perch him high up behind a box you're doing it wrong. He should be all the way at the end of the stage behind enemy lines by turn 2.

I play Mario v Rabbids with my kid. It's pretty cool. We haven't gotten very far into it, but that's mostly because he's been playing Odyssey (and handing off to me on the hard parts) as well.
