  Extending The Adventure The Treasures of the Sun DLC probably won’t change your opinion about the game as a whole but should please fans looking to do some more dungeon sieging. This four to six hour DLC adventure offers some new content to play around with like the Essence system which can enhance a…

Not Cooked All The Way The burger-making sim is back but are the modern toppings enough to ask for seconds? Do you remember the last level in the original Donkey Kong?  While being chased by enemies, Mario had to run over specific sections of a structure to cause the canopy, and the big ape, to…

Now With Move Available on many different platforms and now released on the PS3, Max and the Magic Marker is essentially the same game as the PC and WiiWare version. The biggest difference with the PSN Gold Edition is the introduction of Playstation Move support and a few added elements like new boss battles and…
